True Professionalism, Great Confidence and a real nice suit!

I am glad I had Mr. Bradley D. Clark on my side in court on Aug. 29, 2018. What he did was priceless and it will never be forgotten! I wanted others to know about what I went through and how Mr. Bradley helped me through the worst moment in my lifetime. He made me feel comfortable in an uncomfortable... situation because he was honest with me and optimistic about my case. He made me feel taken care of and respected in a difficult situation. In the courtroom, on this day - he fought for my freedom again and for my life. He is the most absolute hands down Best Defense Attorney in the whole state of Ky! He was there for me, if I ever had any questions. I could call him. After meeting with him and talking with him (only two days before my court date) I knew he was the right attorney for me. And so, I hired him right away! He is professional, well-spoken, reliable, extremely knowledgeable about the law, kind (he'll treat you like family) and compassionate. If you are currently faced with a criminal legal problem (all of these awesome qualities, you want in an attorney) this is the man you want to represent you! He had a solid rock defense strategy for my case - and this is why I believe (the deal I received) was the very best I could receive in my case. And, I couldn't be happier. Even when the other attorney (on the other side) wanting me to spend 10 more days in jail (Mr. Bradley fought for me). Even when the other attorney (on the other side) wanted to have my case sent to circuit court (Mr. Bradley fought for me). And, even when Mr. Bradley told me to please try to come up with $2,000 to give to the judge for restitution on what you owe. And, all I had was $1,500 (Mr. Bradley still got my charge dropped from a felony to a misdemeanor, with 2 years probabation). And this is with a person (like myself) with no prior criminal history. Not even a speeding ticket. I am just a 21 year old college student who made a very big mistake. And I am truly sorry for the extra stress, embarrassment & heartache I caused on myself and my family. And, oh - I promise you I have I learned a Huge lesson and will never ever do anything like this ever again. But Mr. Bradley was professional and well-prepared for this court appearance and I wanted him to know that all of his hardwork & dedication did not go unnoticed. Thank you for everything you did for me.

Excellent attorney!

From the moment I walked into Mr. Clark's office I knew he was the right attorney. Every question I had he answered in great detail. He looked over the case in front of me and explained how he could help. Even showing me previous examples. I decided that he was the right person to defend my loved one....

Posted by Robert | September 28, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Excellent Representation and Kept Me Driving

My lawyer presented an excellent argument against a case that was in front of a jury would of likely been thrown out. Helped prevent suspension of my license. Convincing enough that he had the Commonwealth at a lose for words and the Commonwealth witness honestly was unable to provide sufficient evid...ence. Unfortunately we all know how traffic court goes you never leave without giving up a pound of flesh. Maybe one day the Traffic Court system will get it together and allow citizens with a valid argument and weak evidence against them be enough to have cases dropped.

Outstanding man and attorney who I would definitely reccommend!

Bradley helped get my daughter out of tough potentially life changing felony charge. From day one, he was calm, cool and confident that he could help. He assurances helped calm both and me my daughter down. He has a great rapport with his clients and with his peers. My daughter did 60 hours of com...munity service at a homeless shelter for 3 days straight. He experience there was a life changer. I can't thank Bradley enough for the multiple phone calls he had with both me and my daughter giving us advice and being the voice of reason -- all before he was even given a retainer. Bradley is a stand up guy who truely cares about his clients
