Rory is easily accessible, always friendly, calm under pressure, and a steady source for sound judgment. He possesses a unique combination of legal skill, ability to communicate, and an understanding of how business operates that make him a valuable asset to any business seeking counsel.

I have worked closely with Rory Clark and his firm for over a dozen years. During that time I have been impressed with the high quality of legal representation and personalized service which they provide so consistently. They have the ability to help build consensus around difficult or controversial issues and ultimately strengthen the organizations with which they are involved. The end result is that Clark & Associates enhances and improves the organizations with which they work.

- Jill Gruver, President of the Westmoreland Davis Memorial Foundation, Inc. and Chief Financial Officer of Gruver & Cooley Homes.

Rory Clark served as counsel to ZyLAB International, Inc. skillfully guiding the company through a wide variety of complex situations. During a significant private placement, he and his associates’ persistence and persuasive negotiating skill prevailed in many situations that may have otherwise deteriorated, scuttling a very critical deal. He also guided ZylAB International, Inc. through litigation involving an intellectual property suit in Federal Court. He provided strategic planning and consistent vigilance on behalf of ZyLAB International, Inc.’s interests that proved decisive. ZyLAB prevailed in the case. While I could continue with many more examples that illustrate our board’s appreciation, I will simply conclude by stating that Rory is one of the hardest-working, brilliantly strategic, articulate, and - most importantly – ethical people I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

- J.K., President and CEO of ZyLAB International, Inc., international imaging and software company.

I don’t consider myself an authority on what makes a good lawyer, but I work alongside attorneys in this area often. In my opinion, you really stand out. I will be happy to recommend you to my clients.

- Ashley Sonneville, Commercial Real Estate Advisor, Sperry Van Ness-Vaaler Real Estate.

The Center gained greatly from the knowledge and experience of Mr. Clark and those in his firm with corporate, human resources, not-for-profit, and tax law. When he learned that we were unaware of the potential benefits that we could obtain from the Virginia Rehabilitation Tax Credit program, he and his firm led the effort that generated almost $250,000 for the Center. The firm also helped us with a range of banking, by-law, and regulatory reporting issues.

- Fred Morefield, President of the George C. Marshall International Center, Inc. (Dodona Manor).

As the leader for a not-for-profit organization, I am always looking for value but cannot sacrifice professional expertise. Clark & Associates offer the same services with qualified staff as you would find in a larger community while extending a personal and warm community approach to their customer care.

- Cheryl Kilday, President & CEO if the Loudoun Convention & Visitors Association.

Thank you for the good news sent on Friday. I have been waiting for this notification to let you know how pleased my wife and I have been with the exceptional representation provided by you and your firm concerning this matter. We are particularly grateful for the personal interest you showed during the initial and most anxious phase of our ordeal.
