About Clyde E.
Clyde E. Rickard built his legal foundation at Albion College, where he earned a B.A. in 1975, and then at Emory University School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 1978. Those years shaped his approach to practice. They also anchored a career that has remained tied to Georgia law for decades.
After law school, Rickard established himself in Georgia. He is admitted to practice in the state and maintains active memberships in the Georgia State Bar and the American Bar Association. Those associations have been a steady part of his professional life, providing connection to peers and ongoing legal developments.
Rickard’s practice has been centered in Georgia courts and legal communities. He has maintained an office at One Midtown Plaza, where he meets clients and manages matters arising under state law. Colleagues describe him as methodical in his preparation and clear in his communications. He approaches each case on its own terms and places emphasis on practical problem-solving.
Over the years Rickard has handled a variety of matters that arise in a general practice. He has worked on issues that require familiarity with state procedure and local practice. That breadth of work has kept him engaged with the everyday challenges that businesses and individuals face when they need legal counsel.
Outside the office, Rickard’s membership in professional organizations has informed his work. Participation in the Georgia State Bar and the American Bar Association has offered him continuing education and a forum for professional exchange. He has used those opportunities to stay current on changes to Georgia law and to refine how he advises clients.
Rickard continues to practice from his Midtown office, serving clients across Georgia. He structures his work to reflect changes in law and practice while keeping client needs front and center. He currently focuses on serving clients in matters arising under Georgia law.
