Not your usual attorney / client relationship.

Criminal law isn't just a practice area, it is our expertise.

Trial attorneys are a tradition in Philip Clark’s family. Going back five generations starting with Jonas J. Clark who was appointed by Abraham Lincoln as the United States Attorney for District of Kansas City in 1861. Philip is also a descendant of William Clark – from Lewis and Clark.

Philip attended and excelled in law school at the University of Denver with the sole goal of becoming a trial attorney. Before he was even licensed, he had performed over 35 trials as a supervised student attorney. He passed the Colorado bar exam in 1990 with a score so high that the second portion of the test was waived.

Upon passing the bar and becoming fully licensed, Philip became a senior prosecutor for many years in the metro-Denver area. He tried homicides, serial crimes, DUI cases and nearly every type of felony, misdemeanor and traffic offense. He became intimately familiar with the perspectives, procedures and philosophies of the prosecution and law enforcement community. Later, Philip was appointed second-in-command in the Weld County District Attorney’s Office. He was then elected as a member of the Colorado District Attorney’s Council State Governing Board serving with each elected District Attorney in Colorado, members of the Governor’s office, members of the Attorney General’s Office and other state officials.

Ultimately Philip founded his own law firm and became a criminal and motor vehicle defense attorney, a legal arena in which he has great experience. Philip has been involved in several well-known cases and is highly regarded in the community having a reputation of being knowledgeable, experienced, and diligent. He places tremendous emphasis on client communication and confidentiality, and maintains excellent relationships with clients and their families. Moreover, he is recognized as a community teacher of law and has taught at various high schools and community colleges, and plans to teach at community centers. Most importantly, Mr. Clark is proud of the recognition and appreciation received from his clients for his devotion to their cases.
