Amazing and Honest

I hired Steven to represent me in a criminal case stemming from September of 2020. The entire way through the process, Steven was not only compassionate and cared about me and me situation, he was also honest and willing to discuss any questions or concerns I had. He always listened and had my best i...nterests in mind. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a great lawyer.

Amazing Professionalism

Amazing story of professionalism and kindness. So, I had a misdemeanor conviction many years ago. I filed my own motion to have the conviction vacated by the court. When I got to my hearing, Mr. Steven M. Clark was in the courtroom with his client awaiting their hearing. My hearing came first. Repres...enting myself, I was very concerned when both the judge and the prosecuting attorney agreed that I wasn't eligible due to my prior conviction. Having done my research, I knew they were wrong, but I didn't know how to explain to them. Mr. Clark then stood up and addressed the court. He said he is not representing me, but said he could act as a "friend to the court" and offered an argument on my behalf which convinced both judge and prosecutor that I was indeed eligible by law to have my conviction vacated. I was in utter shock. Being a man of faith, I believe God used Mr. Clark to assist me. I was so impressed by this act of kindness on my behalf, I thanked Mr. Clark and left the courtroom with my motion granted by the judge. This is what you call integrity, folks. He had nothing to gain by helping me. He is obviously a principled attorney. I guarantee if I ever have to deal with the courts again, I will be calling this law firm. I suggest if you or someone you know is in need of legal help, you call this law firm. They are knowledgeable of the law and can definitely help you. Thank you again, Mr. Clark!

If you are looking for a tough and affordable crimal defense lawyer than look no further than Steven Clark. He is a smart, and passionate attorney, that truly takes the time to give you the representation you are seeking. My charges were detrimental to the success in my career as well as my family/pe...rsonal life. Through the process not only did Steven keep me in the loop, he also kept me encouraged which helped me stay posotive. The week before my court date Steven was able to get my charges fully dismissed, allowing me to not take anymore time off work/away from my family. I am truly greatful to have been represented by Mr. Clark.
