About Tyler

Learn Tyler’s areas of practice.

Mr. Clark has been recognized as a tenacious litigator.  Acquiring his experience by fighting against hundreds of the largest corporations in the state, Mr. Clark has successfully litigated all types of employment cases from beginning to end. He has an extensive record of success for his clients and enjoys making sure the rights of employees are vindicated.

Prior to passing the California bar, Mr. Clark served in the U.S. Army National Guard as an Avionics Mechanic working on Blackhawk helicopters for the 126th Medical Company (Air Ambulance).  He received an Honorable Discharge in 2007 after eight years of service.

Thereafter, Mr. Clark honed his skills by working for several government and private employers.  During law school, Mr. Clark clerked for Administrative Judge Daniel Preciado of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and worked as a Certified Law Clerk with the California Attorney General’s office (Employment Division).

While awaiting his bar results, Mr. Clark worked as a Law Clerk for the California State Bar, Office of the Chief Trial Counsel.  This was a significant clerkship for Mr. Clark as he was able to fully understand the administrative agency responsible for prosecuting attorneys for misconduct.

After passing the bar, Mr. Clark and his family moved to Northern California so that he could gain more practical litigation experience by representing consumers in products liability and wrongful death actions for one of the largest consumer firms in California.

Shortly thereafter, Mr. Clark opened his own practice specializing in the representation of employees against employers.  In 2009, Mr. Clark opened offices in San Francisco and San Rafael, and in January 2013 opened an office in Los Angeles.

Awesome Employee Attorney who fights big corporations
Who would normally know whether a person, who does not know employment law, could win a case? After talking with Mr. Clark, I learned that my case was very unique and complicated; I was let go while still working after submission of my resignation from my position in a company. During the initial consultation, to my surprise, Mr. Clark assured me of a huge possibility of winning my case. He was very courteous and well prepared to explain what an employer can and cannot do to my case, and detailed alleged violations by the employer in my case. After learning his recommended approach and strategy to win the case and the legal fees package that was contingent based, I decided to enter the service agreement with his firm. I trusted his ability, professionalism to win the case and I followed his advice and recommendations throughout the process that took almost two years. The matter was resolved to my satisfaction just recently. I would highly recommend Mr. Clark to whoever wants to win his/her employment case. Call Mr. Clark now to learn about your case, and possibility of winning!

Smart, driven, and empathetic. Tyler will protect you and get you what you deserve.
Throughout the stressful and emotionally exhausting process of my wrongful termination and my subsequent lawsuit, Tyler had my back. I always felt that he put my needs first (especially important since I know nothing about the law and didn't know what was best for me). He has all the qualities that I would want in not just my attorney, but a friend. With his expertise, the result of my case COMPLETELY exceeded my expectations. How successfully he handled my case is proof of his competence and devotion. Hiring Tyler was the best decision I've made in years. He will - without a doubt - go above and beyond to get you what you deserve. My life is making a fresh start because I had Tyler at my side fighting for me during a difficult time, and your life can change for the better too. I have absolutely no reservations recommending Tyler's services. Call him now.

HARDEST WORKING, MOST DEDICATED AND CAPABLE LAWYER YOU WILL EVER FIND!!!
When I was unlawfully terminated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento for blowing the whistle on a history of hazing at St. Patrick-St. Vincent High school in Vallejo, CA, Tyler Clark took my case after hearing my story. Not only did he believe in my case, he believed in me, and that was important to me. From the onset, Tyler treated me like a friend, and throughout the two years that the case took, we became friends. He took my case almost personally, because he was able to see the tremendous toll it took on me and my life. He is loyal, trustworthy, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. he has a sense of humor, but is extremely professional in his demeanor and will FIGHT for his clients. During the jury trial, Tyler had a great command of the facts and was articulate and professional in his delivery as he masterfully dissected the testimony of each and every witness for the defense. In the end, it was in large part to his skills and incredibly hard work and the long hours he put into this case that allowed us to win a $4 million jury award against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento for unlawful termination, defamation and whistle-blowing.

Working with Tyler Clark was a great move
Tyler was a pleasure to work with. Not only is he exceptionally talented and articulate, he is expert in his knowledge of employment law and uses it to great effect. My case was not the largest around, but Tyler took it as seriously as I felt he would have a much larger case. Throughout our activities, Tyler was consistently working with me to minimize the costs and fees involved. This was a truly refreshing aspect of working with him; I always felt he was trustworthy and truly out for my best interests. Several times he came through with things that helped reduce our costs that he didn’t have to do and I would not have known the difference. It is nice to see people like this are still out there. As for professional effectiveness, he was by far, WAY more prepared than anyone else in the room. This enabled him to be HIGHLY effective. Not only did this help resolve the situation favorably, it enabled a situation that was dragging on and on to come to a quick and effective resolution. He accurately estimated the outcomes of each issue, saw through confusing noise, and assisted me greatly in understanding the process and not becoming intimidated or de-motivated. He is not afraid to tackle tough situations – often going up against as many as four opposing council by himself, and handling them deftly. This comes from confidence that is earned through good preparation and understanding of the facts and the law. I always had the feeling I was dealing with someone of class and personal integrity and would not hesitate to call on him again or recommend him to close friends if the need ever arose.

Awesome experience real results
I went to Tyler Clark after I was terminated while on ca state disability. I left a message with one of his assistants and was contacted shortly after. Mr. Clark asked details on what happened and immediately setup a meeting informing me that they had broken several laws. He accepted my case and worked diligently on the case the entire time keeping me very informed all along the way. Mr. Clark is very knowledgable, professional, and willing to do what it takes to make things happen. All in all the experience was fantastic and relatively easy and straightforward. I would most definitely recommend his services to anyone looking for the best employment law attorney out there. Thanks again Tyler for everything!

Tyler Clark's Services
Regardless if Tyler won my case or not, the amount of effort and attention to detail he put into my case was unbelievable. He was easy to talked to and actively listened to all my cares and concerns. There were times where I would become very frustrated and irritated about things going on within the case. He always let me vent and also was able to calm me down. Tyler goes above and beyond his job description and I truly believe it's because he cares for his clients. I highly recommend his services.
