His practice has focused primarily on civil defense litigation, appeals and employment law. After graduating from law school, he worked at a boutique firm in San Antonio handling and advising on matters with an emphasis on insurance coverage, first-party litigation, third-party defense, bad faith, Stowers litigation, declaratory judgment actions and commercial liability. In 2000 he left for a rare opportunity to join the civil division in the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office.
As a a Senior Attorney in the civil division of the Bexar County District Attorney Office he represented the 19th largest County in the U.S. and 4th largest in Texas with nearly 5,000 employees in all civil legal matters. Clark represented every County elected office and department in wide-ranging areas as an advisor and litigator in complex civil cases in state and federal courts, arbitration, mediation and administrative hearings from initial intake to through appeal. As a self-insured entity, the County’s civil division handled all matters in-house and rarely hired outside counsel.
Clark has extensive experience as lead attorney for a diverse practice including personal injury, premises liability, vehicle accidents, wrongful death, insurance defense, government law, federal civil rights, employment law (EEOC, FMLA, FLSA, ADA) and all other matters required in representing a large entity with high risk exposure. This involved researching and drafting legal memoranda, motions, appellate briefs, discovery and the vast variety of documents necessary for state and federal litigation and arbitration. He is adept at case development and assessment through extensive experience in witness interviews, depositions, risk analysis and following jury and judicial trends. Clark has negotiated settlements from routine tort and employment claims through high value matters.
His experience includes extensive federal and state trial experience, including successfully defending clients in high exposure jury trials, oral arguments before the Texas Courts of Appeals, Fifth Circuit and Texas Supreme Court. He has also briefed matters to the United States Supreme Court.
