Worst attorney in the county

literally just don't hire the guy at least in criminal proceedings or your definitely gonna regret it trust me your better off representing your self. I was charged with assault M1 and was offered probation my counter offer was M4 disorderly conduct. which Mr. Clark refused to even offer the prosecut...or. I fired Mr. Clark instantly and represented my self and guess who got the charge dropped to a MM disorderly conduct 2 weeks later buy him self?

Sir; you are either mistaken or a fraud. If you will recall, I did not represent you. As a reminder, I represented the grandfather who caught you with his minor granddaughter. Hence, he warned you to stay away from her and when you did not, he ostensibly punched you! You brought charges against him. HE was represented my ME. I got his case dismissed. On the other hand, YOU were charged. You were represented by another attorney. My office did not represent you. Nor will I. I understand how you might get confused, as you have had several charges for various things. But check you court papers, and you will see who represented you. It was NOT me!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
