Clark was a great attorney for us. He was always on top of everything and was very quick, efficient and polite. There was days when we couldn't make it to the office, so he would stay late in the evenings or even come in on the weekend. We had never dealt with a lawyer before Clark but if we ever needed to again he would be the man we go to. He's very easy to talk to and takes time out to make sure that you understand everything. We strongly recommend him.

When i was injured in an accident, Clark did everything he could to see that i received the compensation i deserved. He works in a professional setting but makes you feel comfortable at the same time. He has a wide knowledge of insurance laws and a wonderful staff behind him.

Clark was professional throughout the whole process and kept me informed of each and every action, motion, response, etc. He fought for me from the beginning and gave me excellent advice. He frequently checked on my physical condition and continues to do so long after we settled our claim.{para}He is a professional through and through, yet maintains a personal connection to his clients. I was blessed to have him working with me, and will use his services again for any future legal needs.

Clark provided me guidance, expertise and went above and beyond in the wrongful death lawsuit of my son Michael who lost his life to Electric Shock Drowning. He is still working hard to lead us in our fight to keep others safe in our recreational waters nationwide. He is instrumental in the Samantha Chipley Act in Ky. which is well on its way to becoming a law. Clark is by far the best choice I could have made in my legal fight and I would highly recommend him to others in a heartbeat.

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.
