About Tyler

Wrongful Termination Attorney Exclusively Representing Workers. Call for free consult: 877-244-5311

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.

    Review Tyler Clark

    HARDEST WORKING, MOST DEDICATED AND CAPABLE LAWYER YOU WILL EVER FIND!!!

    Posted by

    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.

    Awesome Employee Attorney who fights big corporations

    Posted by

    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.

    Posted by

    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.

    Are you an attorney? Endorse this lawyer

    Martin Aarons, Employment and labor Attorney on Sep 14, 2016
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    I endorse this lawyer. I have known Tyler for almost 5 years and have worked with him on a number of matters. I have seen his work and know that he is smart, dedicated, strong, and fights for clients!

    Erin Pulaski, Employment and labor Attorney on Feb 3, 2016
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    I had the privilege of working with Tyler on a retaliation and defamation trial. He is one of the most hard-working, detail-oriented and tenacious attorneys I know. Definitely a force to be reckoned with!

    David Mallen, Employment and labor Attorney on Oct 15, 2012
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    I highly endorse this "rising star" in the California Employment Law community. In my opinion, Tyler and the law firm he is working out of -- the deRubertis law firm -- are among the top 1% of California employment law firms who know how to prep a case for trial . Unlike some "paper tiger" lawyers who shun trials, these guys will co-counsel on cases at the 11th hour and get ready for jury trials on very short notice. Their results, in many cases, have proven to be extraordinary. Again, I am honored to recommend Tyler to potential clients and to employment lawyers who need help getting ready for trial.

    Lonnie Mcdowell, Employment and labor Attorney on Jun 13, 2011
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    I've known Tyler since first year of law school. I fully endorse his work. Why? Because I've always found him to be conscientious, very hard working, knowledgeable and extremely dedicated to his clients.

    Sujith Divakaran, Employment and labor Attorney on Jun 1, 2010
    Relationship: Co-worker

    I have worked with Tyler on a variety of plaintiff's employment matters and he has consistently demonstrated knowledge well beyond practitioners with decades of experience. It is a testament to his tireless work ethic and enthusiasm for the subject matter. That, in addtion to his carefully calculated approach to case management, his rapport with clients, his relentless pursuit of his client's interests, and outside-the-box thinking are destined to make him a force to be reckoned with in the field of employment law. He will be a future superlawyer without a doubt.

    Richard Vaznaugh, Employment and labor Attorney on May 27, 2010
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    Mr. Clark is a hard-working lawyer who cares about his clients. He has chosen to specialize in representing employees, which is a great advantage in this complicated area of the law.
