ABOUT BRAD

As an attorney who has been on both sides of the courtroom and a successful business leader, Brad understands the importance of running an efficient and productive courtroom.   He is committed to providing all litigants a fair and impartial forum in which intimate partner violence will not be tolerated.  Because of his experience and commitment to justice, Brad Clark is uniquely qualified to be the next judge of Tarrant County Criminal Court No. 5.

Brad was born and raised in Fort Worth. He graduated from Carter Riverside High School and the University of Texas at Arlington. After earning his Juris Doctor (JD) from Baylor University School of Law, Brad spent more than seven years working in the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney’s office.  As an Assistant Criminal District Attorney, Brad was selected to be on Tarrant County’s first dedicated Family Violence prosecution team.  After his public service as a prosecutor, Brad formed The Clark Law Firm.  Although Brad has always limited his practice to criminal law, he has grown his firm to 4 attorneys that continue to serve our community with expanded practice areas including family law and child welfare. 

With more than 30 years of experience practicing criminal law in Tarrant County, Brad knows the Tarrant County Courthouse and also understands the importance of giving back to the community that is his home.  He is committed to making a difference in the lives of others.  He serves as the Chair of the Criminal Law Section of the Tarrant County Bar Association.  He also serves as a Master in the Eldon Mahon Inn of Court, an organization committed to mentoring young attorneys.  He has long been involved with helping others in the community.  For nearly two decades, Brad has worked alongside current judges, prosecutors, and mental health experts to help create and refine a program that gives offenders who suffer from mental health challenges options for rehabilitation.  As your judge, he will continue this important work. Tarrant County Criminal Court 5 is Tarrant County’s only dedicated Family Violence Court and Brad’s work has prepared him well to serve in this capacity.
