Tenacious advocate

When I took Dave on service three years ago, I had no idea that the process of a work comp claim would end up being such a long and frustrating battle. I am truly happy that I had Dave on my side to guide me and advocate for me during this arduous time. The opposition was very often difficult to work... with and seemed to take every opportunity to draw out the process, a process on which there should be a time limit to dissuade such shenanigans. However, Dave and his staff were constant in their efforts to bring my case to a satisfactory conclusion (although COVID’s shutdown of the court system during this time didn’t help matters in the least). Dave’s consistent down-to-earth approach to this whole case was most definitely appreciated and I would heartily endorse his services to anyone seeking retribution for a work injury.

A MUST HIRE

I would strongly recommend David Clark as your personal injury lawyer. I had two cases with MR Clark at the same time, a auto accident and a workman's compensation. The auto case the insurance company offered me one third of my medical bills that was it. with a lot of hard work David got all my bills... paid and a respectable settlement. The workman's comp case was grossly denied on a legitimate case. David was able to get my case settled it took many trips to the comp office, but David did not give up great job. I want to thank David for all of his hard work.

Outstanding

David could not have been recommended to us at a more opportune time .We were having enormous medical expenses when were confronted with a summons to appear in court for a lawsuit filed against us on disputed charges from a medical transport service. David spent several hours researching our issues a...nd attending several court appearances on our behalf.After all of his diligent work, he was able to reduce our monetary obligation to a much more manageable amount. We could not have asked for a more patient, persevering and honest individual. And little did we know is that he provided all of his services to us pro bono when he realized our situation. We would recommend David to everybody we know. He treated us like family. We will always be grateful to him for all of his efforts on our behalf.

Dave Clark is superbly qualified.

Dave Clark represented me in a workman’s compensation case after I Injured my shoulder performing a very physical job for a waste hauling company. I was unable to return to work. Dave Clark was able to battle with the insurance company and obtained a very good settlement on my behalf. Dave is ext...remely professional, very hard working, very communicative, and worked diligently on my behalf. I was extremely pleased to have Dave on my side of the table.

Intelligent Attention with Superior Service

I was injured on the job through no fault of my own. During my doctor-supervised physical therapy, my employer's WC insurance carrier sent me a communication telling me they would not pay for my continuing therapy. I hired attorney David Clark and am glad I did. In a first consultation, he list...ened, took notes, and outlined a path to victory for me. Always professional, yet fully-cognizant of the law and the insurance company's obligations, Dave Clark negotiated a fair settlement. I recommend him without reservation. To get it done right, contact Dave Clark ASAP.

"I endorse this lawyer. Dave used to practice in the area of landlord-tenant law, and that's how I came to know him. Dave is smart, conscientious, observant and a great listener - which is a skill essential for an attorney when helping clients or negotiating with opposing counsel. Dave also gives back to his community because he cares not to promote himself."
