“A trusted friend recommended that I call Lance Clarke after my arrest.”
As soon as I entered the courtroom, I could tell that Mr. Clarke was highly respected by the prosecution and courtroom staff alike. I knew then that he was the right pick; and he continued to prove that fact throughout the pendency of my case, which was ultimately resolved in my favor.
