Jake was really fantastic! Always There for me in court very smart attorney that does not hold back he found strategies for me to choose boy do I feel satisfied and safe dealing with Jacob. In my experience, some lawyers do not even pick up the phone when you call them you get thrown to voicemail and you hope that they call you back, which is especially harrowing if you are unsure about legal matters this was my best choice!

Jake was recommended to me by a friend when my son was arrested for a DUI. He helped us come up with a good strategy at court and it really paid off in the end. I'd gladly recommend Mr. Clark to anybody in Clarksville who needs a good lawyer. We can't thank him enough for what he did for us.

Hired Attorney Mart Fendley

Won my case Thank you Sir!!! Haven't had a lawyer yet and looking for a lawyer in Clarksville, let me save you some time call Mart Fendley. From our very first conversation, it was clear he genuinely cares about the people he represents. He’s approachable, honest, and doesn’t talk over your head just tells you the truth and helps you understand your options. Mart brings a sense of calm to situations that can feel overwhelming. He’s sharp, experienced, and knows how to navigate the system, but more than that, he makes you feel like you’re not alone. He’s easy to talk to, quick to respond, and always professional without ever feeling distant I can’t recommend him enough. Having Mart on your side means having someone who truly looks out for you and that kind of support is hard to come by.

Doesn't try to impress anyone with flash he earns respect by doing the work doing it well I've seen him handle my case with calm and clarity never looking for credit just focused on getting things right. he follows through and he actually cares about people about doing things the right way. You don’t come across people like Jake often. He’s the real deal man highly recommended for serious cases.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
