Attorney Information
Overview
Clay began his career in industry, where he worked as a machinist, maintenance machinist millwright and tool and die maker. He was also a union activist, serving as a shop steward, local union vice president and then president.

He attended law school at night and worked during the day, receiving his J.D. magna cum laude from Temple University in 1999 and a LLM with honors in Trial Advocacy in 2005. He is licensed and practices in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware and has extensive experience representing unions in contract negotiations, arbitrations and before the National Labor Relations Board, the Pa.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
