Clark Legal

I was very impressed with this firm, and Chris Kreiss in particular. Never having been involved with the legal system, I am grateful to her for the good advice and direction. She kept me apprised of the progress as things moved through the system. She took an interest in my case and was quick with... advice when needed. She returned my calls when I felt it was necessary to speak with her. I am very impressed with Chris and the Walter Clark Legal Group. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Highly recommend

I highly recommend WCLG. Their team is professional, responsive and handles everything. I was in an accident and couldn’t get help from anyone. Doctors didn’t even want to treat me because I had been in an accident. I was feeling hopeless and at my wits end. Finally, I found WCLG online and called th...em. They had an investigator at my house in an hour. He was friendly, professional and finally gave me some hope. Finally someone who could help me! I wish I could remember his name because he deserves high recognition for his helpfulness. Right away I trusted this legal group and they took care of my case all the way through. Mimi was my case manager and she was very responsive, friendly, and answered my questions. Highly recommend her and WCLG! Thank you, Skye

Empathetic and professional

I highly recommend this firm. VERY friendly and professional staff. The case manager (Heather) kept me informed and was very compassionate and kind. I don't normally do reviews, but I have to share that this was a unique and VERY good experience. My wife was having a hard time and Heather showed her... extra attention. I appreciate that. Thank you very much for your service and compassion.
