During their time as an attorney, Clark McVey has specialized predominantly in criminal defense, ranging from misdemeanor offenses to major felonies such as property crimes, drug offenses, and person crimes including manslaughter and murder.
Clark received their undergraduate degree in Philosophy from Missouri State University (MSU) in Springfield, Missouri. While attending MSU, Clark was chair of the Student Philosophy Organization, as well as presenting at several philosophy conferences, including one at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. Clark would then go on to receive their J.D. from the University of Missouri School of Law in Columbia, Missouri, where they were a Student Bar Association Representative and President of the Association for Intellectual Property and Entertainment Law. Clark also externed with Mid-Missouri Legal Services in their Landlord-Tenant division, representing indigent clients facing eviction or foreclosure.
After law school, Clark went on to work with the Missouri State Public Defender in Jefferson City, Missouri, where they learned in the field what it meant to be a zealous advocate for those facing criminal prosecution. Ever since, Clark has dedicated their professional career to criminal defense and doing whatever they can to get the best possible outcome for their clients, which experience has taught them is best achieved through teamwork and communication.
Clark’s hobbies include table-top roleplaying games, strategy video games, and Lego. They have been playing table-top roleplaying games for 40 years, which has provided them with further experience coordinating with people with diverse interests as well as creative problem solving. They have also found that in addition to bringing a great deal of joy into their life, building Lego kits keeps their brain able to analyze information from different angles, allowing them to see how one small piece can mean stability (or the lack thereof) for a larger structure.
