This testimonial is a culmination of over two decades of working with G&K. In 2003, I tragically lost my wife in a car accident. A friend’s brother, employed at G&K, reached out to offer support. Through their assistance. I was introduced to Shannon Clark, who assumed the lead role in managing several lawsuits that included 2 large well known companies. Despite being the same same age as myself (28) Shannon exuded a maturity, knowledge and professionalism beyond his years. Within approximately two years, all legal matters were successfully resolved. Since then, Shannon and the G&K team have provided invaluable assistance not only to me but also to several acquaintances. Their exceptional professionalism and dedication are truly commendable and appreciated. Unlike so many other attorneys that are all over TV, radio and billboards, G&K’s modest advertising approach is a testament to their confidence in their exceptional services. Similar to Hell’s Kitchen which relies on reputation rather than extensive television advertising, G&K’s excellence speaks for itself.

I want to thank Shannon L Clark for giving me a 5 star service from him and his team. I went through a horrific time in my life hit by a drunk driver in 2023. The entire team Karin and Angel were a huge help during a very difficult time. My older sister helped me when I couldn’t even move my neck to narrow down the best attorney. She had said hire Shannon Clark he is the one that stands out from all other Lawyers. Thank you Shannon and team.

My secretary used them and said nothing but good things. My initial conversation with them went well and seemed to be pretty straight up, which I can’t say for all lawyers that I have spoken to.
