About Our Team

New York Attorneys Dedicated to Making A Difference

With over 50 years combined experience, and over 10,000 clients represented, the lawyers at Hamilton Clarke, LLP have zealously and successfully represented clients faced with complex civil and commercial litigation, to matrimonial and family law matters, to white collar crimes involving tax evasion, money laundering, racketeering and more serious offenses such as drug conspiracy and homicide. Our experienced attorneys take the time to examine every detail, and every unconventional legal theory, to develop unique, custom-tailored approaches to protecting our clients’ interests. The results we have obtained over many years of practice speak to our ability and determination to turn strategic advantage into ultimate success.

Founding partners Phillip C. Hamilton and Lance A. Clarke hail from two of the nation’s premier criminal defense practices: The Bronx Defenders, and The Legal Aid Society of New York. While there, respectively, Phillip and Lance learned how to successfully navigate the courtroom, the criminal justice system, and the institutional relationships that are key to success.

After founding separate litigation boutiques where they represented everyone from union members to CEO’s, and a number of high-profile clients, Phillip and Lance decided to form Hamilton Clarke, LLP for a combined high-quality, client-centered, results-based law firm.
