Clark, along with his wife Katie and daughter Claire, resides in Brookhaven, Georgia. Growing up as the son of two 100% disabled military veterans, Clark's life was shaped by their service, leading him to live across the United States and abroad. Clark was born in Germany, where his mother served actively in the US Army. Clark has also lived in Colorado, Ohio, Nebraska, and Nevada. However, he will always consider his small hometown of Green Sea, South Carolina, as his cherished home.
Driven by a deep desire to help others, Clark witnessed the struggles his parents faced with their unique disabilities, inspiring him to dedicate his life to advocacy. Graduating with dual degrees in Political Science and Experimental Psychology from the University of South Carolina, he pursued his passion at Georgia State University, College of Law. During his time in school, Clark gained invaluable experience working with personal injury firms, assisting individuals in challenging financial situations through a bankruptcy clinic, supporting the Public Defender's Office in Fulton County and clerking for the late Justice Harris Hines at the Supreme Court of Georgia.
Clark's journey as a dedicated advocate continued after graduating Cum Laude from law school. He exclusively focuses on assisting individuals injured by the negligence of others, emphasizing litigation to ensure the best outcomes for his clients when insurance companies fall short in addressing the severity of their injuries. Over the years, Clark has handled hundreds of cases, recovering millions of dollars for his clients and participating in numerous bench trials and jury trials to verdict—all with the unwavering commitment to securing proper compensation for his clients.
