In His Own Words
I joined Kilgore & Kilgore in 2012 after 19 years as a Shareholder with Quilling, Selander, Lownds, Winslett & Moser. Between 1986 and 1993, I was a Partner, Shareholder, or Associate with several law firms in Dallas and Fort Worth. Prior to that, I served as a Captain with the Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Army.
All my life, people told me I should become a lawyer because of my writing ability and my gifts of persuasion. I am the son of a WWII Marine who stormed the beaches of Iwo Jima. When I saw my dad's forced retirement, I decided I wanted a career that I could work at for as long as I wanted.
I entered the military on an ROTC scholarship. When I took off the uniform, I felt I had justice on my side. What I enjoy most are the personal relationships with clients. I enjoy the gratification that comes when I accomplish goals for them. It is tremendously satisfying.
The Man in the Hat
Always Wears a Hat
If you ever meet Clark at a community event, you'll spot him instantly — Dad always wears his hat. It's his signature, as much a part of him as 45 years in the courtroom.
Clark Will vs. Will Clark
Yes — folks sometimes mix the name up with Will Clark, the legendary #21 first baseman and one of Clark's own heroes. It's an honor to share letters with a Hall of Famer… but remember: on your ballot, it's Clark B. Will.
