I originally came to Clark & Washington four years ago to file Chapter 7 and I was told I was unable to and I had to file Chapter 13. I haven’t missed one payment in four years and I’m one year from being done but I need to sell my car as it’s no longer reliable and get something else. I owe $2600 on my car that’s part of my bankruptcy and I have an offer for carmax to buy it for $11,000. I contacted Clark and Washington in FEBRUARY and I was told the process takes 21 days. It is now MAY and I keep getting the run around. At one point the lawyer handling my case quit and no one said anything adding more time I’m going without a reliable car. They are so unprofessional and I believe try to take advantage of you, they sent me an email 2 weeks ago talking about me filing chapter 7…. I’m just a year out from being done, WHY WOULD I DO THAT?!?!? Im just very disappointed that this is how my case has been handled concerning I’ve paid on time for 4 years and I know most people fail to finish Chapter 13. I just need a reliable car to get to work and they are dragging their feet and don’t care!
They really know how to stand beside you every step of the way. There were no surprises. I received phone calls emails and texts whenever there was something coming up or I needed to review an item. Very professional and courteous.
My mother referred me to this firm. They was so amazing helping me with my struggling time during this COVID outbreak. I fell on some hard times and had to make some changes in my life as well as financial changes. When I spoke to the first attorney I was so embarrassed and just broken down to the point that I cried on the phone when they returned my call and said they would assist me with my case. I didnt have to worry about anything and they made sure that I knew I wasnt the only one going through a hardship because of this Virus. They made me feel like a person and not a number even though we never met in person because of the COVID restrictions. I definitely would refer them to anyone who is looking for help or even for just questions in general. Thank you Clark & Washington for everything you guys did for me.
Clark and Washington were very professional and knowledgeable in steps I needed to take. If I had any concerns or questions they got back with in a timely manner. They have made this process very easy for me. I would love to thank everyone at Clark and Washington for helping through this. I would highly recommend them.Thank you so very much for everything,Wanda D Beall

Very professional, efficient and helpful. I would recommend them to friends and family.
I had a great experience and I would recommend them.
Allowing this firm to handle my Chapter 13 is one of the worst mistakes of my life. After learning about the impending foreclosure on my home I took quick action to save my home, vehicle, and belongings. Unfortunately I did not have the luxury of time before I chose someone to represent me. Went in for the initial appointment and felt relived that I was able to get my Chapter 13 underway and save my life. Little did I know that the people I tasked with saving my life were duller than a butter knife. It first started when I received a notice from my loan holder for my vehicle that it was scheduled to be repod. I contacted them and they said they never received a notice I was in a Chapter 13. Called Clark & Washington and they assured me it would be taken care of. A matter of weeks later I received another letter informing me that my home was due to go to auction. Again I called these lawyers and was given the run around and had to speak with an Office Manager that had no clue what was going on. The lawyers used him as a mouth piece and avoided me at all costs. I then found out my home had already been sold and the spiral began even deeper. I was then told that the needed paperwork was never sent to stop the sell of my home and I was indeed about to lose my home. Finally after 2 months I spoke with an actual lawyer who admitted they bungled my case, I would lose my home, BUT lucky old me would receive $7500 to ease my pain after I signed off on the whole bungle. They knew they had me and I couldnt sue since I was broke and needed some type of money to afford somewhere for me and my family to live. Now Im on the hook for this Chapter 13 just for a car and credit card that I couldve afforded without a Chapter 13. Had I knew I was going to lose my home regardless I couldve just continued payment on them, release the home, and had money to find a new home and kept some of my dignity in the process. Now whenever I call them I get the run around and am treated like a bum by my own lawyer. I would avoid this firm at all costs in my experience.
No matter how many times you call or when you call .. You are always told you will be called back. My problem is they never call back or keep you informed of your case.. They just take your money and throw you to the wolves.. You are better off opening your window and letting your money fly out of it. You will get better results. My first attorney was fired I was never informed. My case had an issue, but it wasnt brought to my attention until I got a letter from from the court, by that time it was to late.
Very sweet and understanding people here. ive recommended them to a friend of mine and he had a similar experience. very easy to talk to and they made everything easy to understand.
It has been a true pleasure working with you! Your company is absolutely awesome! Thank you for all your assistance and persistence with my case. I do not mean to be so discrete, but its really hard for me to put my personal issues out there. Something deep down told me to write this review. Im guess the need to show my gratitude towards your firm. Its the least I could do for your company.
They have stayed in touch with me every step of the way, thus far, through text, email, and mail. It is a stressful time for me and Im so pleased to have found them. They took care of everything and work really fast. I highly recommend them.
Too bad they wont let you do ZERO stars! I have been attempting to have these people RETURN my phone calls for 3 weeks! (Guess what, I reviewed my Chapter 13 statements and these people have been paid in full-no problem with that, but I am STILL considered their client until I am finished with the Chapter 13!) I have left message after message with both the Gallatin office (where we actually went to start this process) AND the MAIN office in Nashville! Every time I call I am told that I dont have an attorney available at this time, but I will take your contact information and have one call you back as soon as possible. So far this has NOT happened! So, this morning I called the Gallatin office again, knowing that they were probably not open yet, but knowing that I could make contact with the answering service to make sure that someone would actually be in that office today (they are not open at that location every day for whatever reason). Gus answered the phone, and I told him that I have been attempting to contact someone in that office for 3 weeks-he interrupted me before I could go on with a very snotty Well you should try calling during regular business hours! I started to say something else, but he said to call back after 9 and hung up on me! My advise if you are looking for a bankruptcy attorney, STAY AWAY FROM CLARK AND WASHINGTON--the little promo on the website saying we take care of you is an outright LIE!
I had a real good experience with them. They even worked with us when my husbands job lowered his pay due to economy, it was a hard, long 5 years but we did it and I really understand how to manage money now. Thanks Clark & Washington.
The people at this firm were very nice and understanding and very informative. They made the process very simple and easy. I would recommend them.
If I could put 0 stars I would! We started in the local office, did the consultation, then meeting where we took everything required...they said we were good to go for ch 7 & all we had left was the final step to do the credit counseling & file, which would be about 4 hrs at the office. We were trying to file ASAP & they said they could actually send us to the larger office in Nashville to get in sooner for that final appt. My husband went there, was there for 6 hrs, did EVERYTHING! Only to be told after that entire time that we couldnt file, he made a couple hundred too much. This shouldve been addressed in one or both of the first two meetings before it even got this far. So he was advised to increase his taxes that are taken out to make his check lower. Weve done this for 2 months. During this time the attorney also told us ch 13 was always an option &, could be done immediately. So we eventually decided on this instead of keep struggling more. We advised the attorney we would go ahead & do ch 13, he said ok, he would get everything together. Two days later he called to say he cant help us after all since were in another county!! So...3 months wasted!! & at this point we had also been advised to quit paying bills so we have collectors on us like crazy & got served a civil warrant to go to court for one of them. We had also already paid, so when he informed us he couldnt help us, he said we will get a check in the mail by the beginning of the next week. Now its been 2 weeks & we still aint got our money back!! & the attorney avoids phone calls any time you try calling! It took me getting an attitude to actually get someone to put him on the phone with me once. Im beyond pissed!! Worst experience! Will NEVER recommend them!! Nor the attorney Ryan Lloyd of the Nashville office!!
No help at all a total waste of time most inconsiderate people I’ve ever met on my LIFE!
This frim is awesome! They really take care of their clients.
Horrible and stressful experience!!! These people dont inform you of anything!!!! They take your money and leave you in the dark. They dismissed my case without even telling me!! I showed up to court and had to find out for myself, which was embarrassing in itself. I talked to the head attorney face to face in court that day and she tells me to call the office and schedule an appointment to file again. Three days later, another attorney calls my phone to tell me they wont be filing my case and had the nerve to recommend me to another attorney they know!!! No explanation given at all. So unprofessional. So many issues from the beginning, they did me a favor. I fought harder than they did with my debtors!!!! Id never recommend them to anyone. Sad thing is, my debt wasnt even expensive.
I didnt want to file but its getting harder and harder to find work that pays around here. Ive actually decided to move from Nashville in order to find work. Filing bankruptcy is one of the last things Im doing here to tie up some lose ends. I hired clark and washington after a former boss of mine recommended them. They werent the only firm I met with, but they seemed like they were most involved in doing bankruptcies and I found that bankruptcy was the only thing they did. I felt that the best lawyer to do my case would be someone who focused on it. So far, my choice has paid off. Ive had to send them a few things that the court needs but other than that, Ive been able to take care of getting ready for the move and theyve been handing things on their end. I feel that they were fairly priced. I got lower quotes, but the lawyers that quoted me lower fees all seemed to practice other laws and bankrutpcy just seemed like something that they were trying, but not really old pros at.
I love it and if i need any legal advice I will contact Clark and Washington.
Worst attorneys ever my bankruptcy I ended up with not even one vehicle messed up everything beware They said they would get my car back and they did not ended up with nothing to drive at all and I had 2 if You redo your vehicle at the courthouse with the bank the these attorneys did not know that they have 48 hours for the bank to change their mind and they can come get your stuff so you better put it up so they cant get your car within the 48 hours or youre going to be without a vehicle I ended up homeless no way to get my son to college it was the worst experience ever they should have gave me my money back They ruined my life they did not help me
After being told I was eligible to file bankruptcy and paying $490 to this company, I was told about 20 minutes later that I wasnt eligible and my money would be refunded to me in the form of a check. I only received a $435 refund and was told when I called about it that the remaining $65 is non refundable. This company scammed and ripped me off. Do not do business with these people!
