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.

Crown jewel of the legal profession. If I had to choose one person to save my life it would be Clark. His knowledge, connections with the system and empathy for his clients is impeccable. He got me out of a complicated assault case and it was solely due to his professional acumen, crystal clear advic...e and fantastic assessment of the situation at hand.

Such a GREAT trial attorney!

I honestly didn't think Mr. Birdsall would be able to help my brother with his felony cases but he definitely proved me wrong. He's very mild mannered and a man of few words but he always a few steps ahead of everyone else. My brother insisted on going to trial on some very serious felony charges and... Mr. Birdsall was up for the challenge and delivered! I would highly recommend anyone who is dealing with legal issues to give Mr. Birdsall a call asap. The sooner you call, the faster he can collect information and evidence to better your chances are of winning.
