Posted by Dawn G | March 09, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Outstanding Attorney

Not expecting to have trouble with my expungement case, I did not have an attorney. After I found out the Commonwealth's Attorney was opposing my request Brad stepped in without hesitation and with full confidence that he could handle the situation. He argued the case to perfection and I won my expun...gement. It would be hard to articulate how grateful I am for Brad's help and what he accomplished for me. Hands down, one of the most sincere and knowledgeable attorney's I've ever met.

Disappointed that Mr Clark Ceased All Communication in the Consultation Stage

I have been hesitant to provide a negative review, but feel it’s necessary to hold Mr. Clark accountable for dropping the ball in our correspondence during the consultation stage. I was surprised when Mr Clark stopped all communication with me after Inquiring if the fee he quoted could be paid in t...hree payments every other week or net 45 days. We had corresponded several times up to that point, but that’s when it went sideways. When he didn’t respond, I took that as a ‘no’ and emailed him three more times and clarified that I was only inquiring about payment options and that I would gladly pay the fee up front if that was not acceptable and asked him to invoice me and I would promptly pay the full fee in advance so we could move forward. He never responded. I don’t want to be presumptuous as to why he stopped all communication, but a simple yes or no response would have been sufficient. It felt dismissive and left a bad impression. Regardless, he has the right to do so, however Its uncomfortable enough to decide to revisit a painful experience from 20 years ago and then have a lawyer stop communicating with you in the consultation stage after you inquire about payment options. It deflated my resolve to even want to do this, and It shook my confidence in him and it reaffirmed my personal feelings as to why I don’t trust lawyers and dread ever having to use one again.

I’m sorry things didn’t work out with your case. The truth is, I’m one person, and I prioritize communications with my current clients. I definitely owed you a reply that I couldn’t take your case, but sometimes things that aren’t current business get put on the back burner. I do not believe that a one star review is fair or just, because I chose not to agree to your payment plan. But I will do better in telling people I’m not taking their case in the future.

Strong Defense in the Courtroom

Bradley Clark is a very professional attorney who is not only knowledgeable about the law, but also has a heart and cares about people. Words can not express the level of gratitude I have for Mr. Clark. I had a case that I can honestly say could have impacted not just my personal life but my professi...onal life as well. I could not have selected a better lawyer for my case. When I got my DUI I thought my situation was hopeless and I was extremely nervous. The outcome far exceeds my expectation. I am happy to say that my DUI charge was reduced to a reckless driving because Mr. Clark fought for me.

Best Attorney Around

I would highly recommend Attorney Bradley Clark. He answered all my questions and addressed my concerns in a timely manner. My case was particularly different from many others but he was able to get the outcome we needed. I couldn’t have asked for more.
