Posted by Lauren | September 19, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Guardianship

Guardian

I am a social worker at a nursing facility. Mr. Clark was the guardian of one of my residents for the past year. During his Guardianship over her he was very supportive and understanding to the residents needs and wants. We worked very well together to provide the resident with the highest quality of... life that we could. Me. Clark is very passionate of helping others as an attorney. I am very pleased with the service he provided and am glad to hav head him along side us all through this Guardianship.

Posted by Amanda | September 13, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Custody case

John was by far the best attorney I could have chosen to represent me in this case for custody of my daughter. He’s the only attorney that I contacted who actually listened to my story and was reasonable with a retainer fee. I would highly recommend John as an attorney! Thank you so much!

Experienced, flexible, and well equipped

John provided research material and legal advice when our church board was establishing constitutional segments on culturally sensitive matters. He was thoughtful, diligent, and competent. He listens well and takes great care with legal inferences. He was generous with his time and resources.

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!
