Tampa personal injury attorney James D. Clark is AV-rated by Martindale-Hubbell.  Mr. Clark's practice areas include medical malpractice, general negligence, products liability, and mass torts (pharmaceutical and medical products).

Mr. Clark was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1975 and the North Carolina Bar in 1979. Mr. Clark is a Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer and is certified as a Civil Trial Advocate by the National Board of Trial Advocacy.
