Jacob Russell Clark

I would unfortunately not recommend him to ANYONE. His lack of communication is a huge issue and he lacks the drive to actually fight for your freedom. For over 3 weeks my S/O sat in jail with out a single peep from Mr. Clark. We attempted to contact him many many times during that 3 weeks and never... until 330pm the DAY before court, did he jLFINALLY show up to the jail to meet with my B/F. But that was right after calling his ex wife telling her and his 5kids he was going away for a lrewllybong time. Keep in mind that it's a driving on suspended from over a year ago. He now has his license and has for quite some time. Then he finally goes to see him and says yeah your going away for a while your going to be in here for quite some time and my b/f tried to ask questions but Jacob wouldn't answer questions nothing said he was busy nothing he could do and and leaves. So this whole last 3 weeks not a single call back, reply to email nothing now at 330 the day before court that is at 830 am this is what we got. You can only imagine the anxiety and the hair pulling stress we were really under now. We have no time to do anything at thisbpoint. If he don't want to deal with his case then I wish he would just say so that way we can atleast try and find an attorney that will pretend to care and fight for him. I shouldn't be spending my time trying to figure for my B/Fs freedom when he has an attorney. His attorney should be itye one telling the judge about everything my b/f has done and accomplished telling the judge when he says hey your going to jail because you didn't do this Jacob should have said your mistaken my client has already done this and this and this and here is thebproof instead of saying nothing and now here I am trying to be heard so the judge knows no the things you asked to be done by the time of court was done by court but his attorney didn't do his jobvandbmake sure the courts had that proof to. So now that it's been brought to light and my b/f has sat in jail for over a month with no bail for no reason other than his attorney not doing his job and updating the courts with the proof my bf did what he was supposed to. Now here we are again waiting another almost 2 weeks for jacob to get him on the docket for sentencing and as of yesterday at 4pm he STILL had not got him on the docket for court on Wednesday. And ONCE AGAIN ZERO COMMUNICATION WT ALL!!!!; I have filed a bar complaint which I hated to do but honestly I don't know what velse to do. Truthfully that solves nothing. I can't force Jacob to start caring about his clients and look at his very poor conduct as an attorney. With the way he practices and the absolute zero communication until the very last minute you would be better off without an attorney then having him. The stress and anxiety and mental anguish you go though trying to get Jacob to atleast just communicate let alone actually defend you instead of just sitting there doing nothing is enough to make anyone loose their mind and be angry just as we are. I hope something can be done to where Jacob realizes the way he handles things is completely not ok. Maybe he needs to find a profession he wants to do and strives for. Being a criminal defense attorney clearly isnt it unless someone just don't care about being free.
