Best lawyer Ever!

Clark is a absolutely great lawyer! He actually cares about his clients and works his hardest to win your case! He works beyond the 8 hour day for you! Phone calls at 7pm is normal…He doesn’t stop at 5pm like all the rest. Well respected within the courts and other lawyers. Answers and returns cal...ls. Knows his stuff! If you’re looking for a good respected lawyer you need to talk to Clark!

confused

This lawyer may have been good a long time ago but now he can't remember what you told him and will ask and charge you to tell him 5 times and still not get it right. He will tell you he is a linear thinker which means if things are not lined up perfectly he will be confused which he told me he was ...every time I saw him and also during trial. This lawyer is terrible and not worth wasting your money on. He did not provide key evidence which ultimately lost my case. He also did not meet deadlines which also hurt my case. He is very insensitive and does not care about what is right and wrong.

Professional, helpful, and kind

Mr.Tibbits is an excellent lawyer, he is obviously highly educated and intelligent. He was extremely helpful through our time working together, giving detailed explanations through all of the steps happening and displayed kindness and understanding throughout the troubles of the court process.
