Selling our home

Only spoke to Brian once, he said he could provide everything from start to finish. After that, he passed me off to an associate attorney. She made more mistakes than I could keep up with. Finally, she passed me off her paralegal who had to finished all the paperwork! I could never get a call back f...rom Brian or the associate attorney. Everytime I called the office, the receptionist was not very helpful, I was told that Brian was not located in that office and she had no way to transfer a call to him. The only person I could finally talk to was the paralegal. Worse experience ever! I felt like this was not a legit real estate attorney group! .

Incompetent and Dishonest

Brian gave a hard sales pitch to get us to sign him as both an estate attorney and real estate agent. After we signed, my father’s condition worsened and we needed to take out loans to pay for his care. We called Brian to make sure our estate and legal paperwork were in order and he never called us... or had another attorney call us. Then, the doctor informed my father was dying and 6 messages and one week later — still no attorney called. In place, Brian had a real estate broker go to my father’s hospital room to get paperwork signed. The real estate broker fielded all legal questions without supervision and ultimately did all the paperwork wrong. We fired Brian and hired an estate law firm who immediately contacted my father and had his trust paperwork correctly set up with all correct notaries and witnesses within a week. After that is done, Brian Clark’s partner finally makes first contact to tell me that I cant fire Brian (even though the legal retainer says i can fire him at any time) because he’s also a real estate broker or assigned one in his office. He insists Brian will sell the house anyway and refuses to acknowledge he was fired. Snake oil salesman. Incompetent. Dishonest.

Don't waste your money

This office is horrible! They take your money and thats it. The staff is unprofessional and rude. Once they have the money they make up ever excuse possible why they are not available. You'll see for yourself so BEWARE.

Very Dissapointed

I received a referral from CLC for Brian J Clark & Associates. Brian was great in his consultation. That was the last time I heard from him. I wish I had stopped there! I was told my case would take about 4-6 hours of time to clear up. It was three weeks and still nothing had been resolved. The worst... part was that I was never kept in the loop about what was going on. I had to email or call the firm to see what the status was on my case. It would have been nice to receive some updates. I spent a pretty penny and nothing has been resolved. Proceed with caution when dealing with this firm.

We would like to extend to you our most sincere apologies regarding your concerns. At Brian J. Clark & Associates we strive for the highest standard of care and prioritize customer service. However, I would like to elaborate in response to your scathing review. From the time that you retained, you did speak with multiple members of the firm; you were given multiple status updates via phone or email; and the law firm drafted correspondence which was sent to the appropriate parties to resolve your matter. Due to unprecedented times, the law firm had no control over how long the third parties would take to respond and resolve your issue; however, as a professional courtesy we followed up on multiple occasions with these parties. Furthermore, you had a final call with the firm on 5/8 wherein all of this was explained to you and despite the firm working and putting in time to resolve your issue, we returned 75% of your fee. Please reach out to us if you have any further questions, thank you.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
