Criminal Defense 100%

I specialize in serious crimes. Because I'm a serious trial lawyer, and the prosecutors know that, they tend to make better plea offers to my clients in hopes of avoiding trial.

Best Defense Attorney in Dallas / Job Well done

Responded very quickly to my initial inquiry... So I just want to take the opportunity to thank Mr. Clark Birdsall, I cannot express how grateful I am. Mr. Birdsall SAVE me from 5 to 20 yrs in prison for 2 aggravated assault charges, his knowledge of the system is second to none. He provided very cle...ar explanations of every facet of the judicial process in non-legal language so that I was well informed, through his expertise, the best outcome was achieved, and the outcome was that the aggravated charges were dropped...

Best Attorney in Dallas!

I have known Clark for a while now. A few years ago, he told me exactly what to do in order to get out of 2 felony cases that were filed against me. I was able to follow his instructions and ended up with a charge no billed and a charge outright dismissed. Recently I found out that I had three felony... cases recently opened against me. Clark was able to get me the best outcomes I could have asked for. Clark worked hard on my cases and even went out of his way to keep me informed of what was going on and made adjustments in his time in order to better help me. Clark was able to come out on top in all of my cases. He is very patient and understanding to your situations and works hard to help you. Clark was an incredible attorney and I would use him again if ever needed.

excellent lawyer

I had a felony case; and I was very scared, but Mr. birdsall cheered me up and gave me confident in our very first meeting. he sounded confident and knowledgable. it was like finding a diamond. When ever my mood changed and i felt sad/scared, i always remember his law firm, and the message was convey...ed to him even in after hours. his firm has a remarkable communication service, i could meet him right after one phone call. In the court he talked with consise points to help my case; he was dominating like a lion in the jungle, and the other party heard thunder in his voice. he was able to get my case dismissed right away. i am very happy with his service, and wish to built a long term relationship

"NOT GUILTY"

I WAS ACCUSED,INDITED, AND TRIED FOR "1ST DEGREE MURDER!"... AFTER SEVERAL PLEA OFFERS...THERE WAS'NT A DOUGHT IN MY MIND, I HAD THE BEST LAWYER IN TOWN... HE STUDY AND PUT NUMEROUS HOURS OF DEDICATION INTO MY CASE, THAT THERE WAS FACTS I DIDNT EVEN REMEMBER, BUT HE SURE DID AND POINTED THEM OUT... ...I DECIDED TO ROLL THE DICE IN TRIAL, AND HE WAS READY TO BE VICTORIOUS!!... HE'S A SOLDIER IN TRIAL, AND I WILL ALWAYS SALUTE HIM WITH THE RESPECT HE DESERVES... THE VERDICT: "NOT GUILTY"...

Relieved

when I went to Me.Birdsall with my case we sat down and he let me know that I could get a court appointed lawyer that would probably try to get me to deal with the state that will cost me time and money, I'll let him know in our meeting and statement that I was innocent so he took my case and after r...eviewing my statement and the states evidence we decided on a trial. On the day of my trial and with the knowledge and experience of Me.Birdsall my case was dismissed within 15min. because he knew the state had nothing against me and not once did I have to go before the court, so I was pleased and relieved and I would recommend Me.Birdsall to anyone who needs representation or any legal advice.
