Current Employment Position(s)

Managing Attorney

Lawyer Overview

Mari Jo Clark graduated from the University of Arizona, in Tucson and then received her law degree from Tulane Law School, in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Formerly a business owner, Ms. Clark started her legal career in 2000 practicing in the insurance defense field in Chicago, Illinois. In 2001 she focused her practice on Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 consumer bankruptcy cases, while working with a large national law firm. After only a year, Ms. Clark was promoted to the position of managing attorney of the firm’s Chapter 13 Practice. In this position she assisted clients in understanding the complex issues of Chapter 13 Plans and aggressively defended their rights through courtroom litigation and motion practice. Ms. Clark held this position until 2003, when she was invited to open the firm’s first Arizona office, located in Phoenix, Arizona. While building a successful Phoenix office, Ms. Clark continued to develop her skills by attending Continued Legal Education seminars to stay apprised of recent developments in the law and by researching new legal topics.

In 2004 Ms. Clark decided that a large law firm setting is not capable of giving the personalized attention and quality service that her clients deserve. She formed Clark Law Offices to provide the public with access to an experienced attorney at a reasonable price. Clark Law Offices is a boutique style law firm whose clients receive attention beyond that which most lawyers are able to devote, but without the high fees. At Clark Law Offices, Ms. Clark has expanded her practice to also include Estate Planning and Business Formation. In 2004 Ms. Clark completed an Advanced Estate Planning course dealing with highly complex Estate Planning issues. However, Ms. Clark has maintained fees at a level affordable to those with large or small estates. Working with so many clients of diverse backgrounds during her practice, Ms. Clark developed the knowledge and experience beyond that of most attorneys in the profession. Her clients have also appreciated her honest and compassionate approach to her practice.
