A native New Yorker, Clyde grew up on Long Island. Tired of the cold weather, Clyde decided to attend law school in Miami. After a couple of years, Clyde realized he missed living in a city that had four seasons; however, he was conflicted about returning to New York, as he did not miss the traffic. Clyde compromised on Colorado, where he has practiced family law for four years where he has helped many clients through a difficult and uncertain period of their lives.

Prior to attending law school, Clyde worked as a litigation paralegal for Animal Rights Attorney. Together they represented dogs who were deemed dangerous and scheduled to be euthanized by local towns. Using state pet trust statutes, they were able to gain legal standing to represent the dog, rather than the original owner. Representing the dog rather than the owner made many of the local towns more willing to settle their cases as the towns did not have to fear the dog being returned to an often irresponsible dog owner.

A common failing among family law attorneys is that they do not spend enough time with their clients going over the facts. I believe it is an attorney’s job to comprehend their client’s struggles and convey those struggles to the court in a clear and concise manner. An attorney is an advocate for your story, and you need an attorney who is well versed in the facts to tell your story.
