Hey — have we met yet?
I'm Dr. Richard G. Clark. And I want to tell you something the legal industry doesn't want you to know. You have the power to protect yourself — all by yourself. You just need the right knowledge in your hands.
I saw it in Memphis. I've seen it everywhere. Hardworking people staring down real legal decisions with nothing but a Google search and a prayer. Contracts they didn't understand. Business filings they got wrong. Family matters that spiraled because nobody sat down with them early enough and told them the truth. Because Google is not a legal strategist.
I earned a Ph.D., an MBA, a Juris Master (JM), and a BA in Entrepreneurship from Liberty University. I served as a Shelby County Sheriff. I've spent my career at the intersection of law, business, and people — and I come to every client with the depth, preparation, and strategic rigor of legal counsel. When you sit down with me, you are not getting a paralegal. You are not getting guesswork. You are getting someone who has studied the law, lived inside the system, and built Clark Counsel Group, LLC specifically so you don't have to face it unprepared.
The problem I saw in Memphis exists in every city and every zip code in this country. Clark Counsel Group, LLC exists for one reason — so you can take charge of your legal future. Without being priced out. Without being talked over. Without leaving it to chance. Build your own peace of mind. That is exactly what I built this for.

Client Testimonials
Real words from real clients who trusted us with their most important decisions.
I had been putting off getting my business properly structured for two years because I didn't know where to start and didn't want to pay attorney rates just to get basic answers. Dr. Clark changed all of that in one consultation. He broke everything down clearly, told me exactly what I needed, and had me walking out with a real plan. That kind of guidance is hard to find.
"Dr. Clark gave me the confidence and the roadmap I didn't know I was missing. My business is better for it."I was about to sign a commercial lease that would have locked me into terms I didn't fully understand. Dr. Clark sat down with me, walked through every clause, and pointed out three things that could have cost me thousands. He saved my business before it even got off the ground.
I received an IRS notice and was terrified. Dr. Clark took the time to explain what it actually meant, helped me gather the right documents, and guided me through the response. The issue was resolved in less than three weeks. I cannot recommend him enough.
Going through a divorce is hard enough without feeling like you're being taken advantage of. Dr. Clark handled the document preparation for our uncontested divorce with total professionalism and kept things respectful for both sides. Fair pricing, clear communication, and genuine care.
I needed to form an LLC and had no idea where to start. Dr. Clark walked me through the entire process — the filing, the operating agreement, the EIN, everything. What could have taken me weeks of confusion took one consultation and a few days of his work. Worth every penny.
An employee filed an EEOC complaint against my company and I was panicking. Dr. Clark helped me understand my obligations, organize my documentation, and prepare a response that was thorough and professional. The complaint was dismissed. This man knows what he is doing.
