We are very grateful for everything Attorney Jon Clarke did to help us through our bankruptcy process. Jon handled our case very professionally with his experience and extensive knowledge about bankruptcy. He was also personable and helped us work through the process without being judgmental. We had a very complicated case and were not sure of our options. We had invested our retirement funds in an oil business. We had also extended significant personal credit for the business. Due to the decline in oil prices and the business not producing any income, we were in a very difficult situation. After talking with Jon, we felt confident to start the process. Jon was very easy to work with during the entire process. His years of experience were very important and reassuring. He helped us understand what to expect during each step. He was very thorough and it was important that everything was done right, especially with the complications of our case. Jon worked through our case and helped us explain the situation to the Trustee when the Trustee wanted to conducted additional research due to the complexity of our case. Jon helped us through the process to provide the additional details and prove there were no assets. We were very grateful when the case was discharged and closed. We highly recommend Jon to anyone facing the difficult choice of bankruptcy.

Jon Clarke SAVED ME from a very unfortunate situation that my ex-husband left me in. Not only had I filed for divorce, but I had zero financial help due to my ex being fired from his job, stripped of his professional license, and leaving me with a mountain of debt, a home to care for and 3 children to provide for… all on my small income. I felt like there was no way out… like everything I had worked my entire life for was falling apart due to the choices of someone else. This is when I started researching the possibility of bankruptcy. I reached out to Jon Clarke and he was very responsive and set up a meeting with me very quickly. He thoroughly explained my options and provided me with the moral support that I needed during this extremely daunting time. He very efficiently managed my case and after the Trustee Meeting, it was determined that I had a no asset report - meaning that I had to pay ZERO to the trustee!! I got to keep my home and all of my equity in the home. Jon worked hard to win this outcome for me…. And I was allowed to keep my home for my children. One year post bankruptcy, I just re-financed my home at an excellent rate and I purchased a car!! I am well on my way back to financial security and I owe it all to Jon Clarke. Please do not trust a situation like this to just any attorney out there!! You need someone that you feel safe with and that will get you the second chance you deserve!! YOU deserve the best… Jon Clarke!!

The downturn economy from 2008 finally caught up with me, my wife and kids and in 2011. We were forced to look at filing bankruptcy. I had lost my position as a VP and my wife could not find work. We spoke with a number of BK attorneys and were referred by one to Jon Clarke. We had our first phone call with Jon in June of 2011. In Sept 2011 we filed Chapter 7. The house was steadily moving to foreclosure at the same time and our finances were in ruin. Jon calmly and confidently walked us through what we could expect. When we finally met with the trustee and Jon was there and handled it like the pro he is. While filing was not something we were proud of it was our only shot at rebuilding the our lives. In Feburary 2012 our case was dismissed and we could breathe again. I finally acquired a new position in Sept 13 and my wife got a job as well. We saved our home in November 2014 with a refinance program. The lien on the second was dropped by the bank in December 2014. While our credit is not what it was we still were able to buy a car and do the little things that lets you know you are alive. I am sharing this because while it may not look like you can survive bankruptcy you need to know you can and if you put it in Jon Clarkes capable hands you will in the end have your life back and a new friend and advisore who really cares. I highly recommend Jon to anyone considering bankruptcy.

Jon Clark represented me in a bankruptcy action a couple of years ago and I can tell you as a former attorney myself that Jon is better than just good. He is great. Jon handled my case exceedingly well and got results for me that were exceptional. Jon is knowledgable, easy to work with, diligent, smart and a great human being. Rare qualities for an attorney of his caliber. I can not recommend jon too highly. If you need a bankruptcy attorney you better call Jon.
