About Shawn R.
Shawn R. Clark earned his law degree from New York University School of Law in 2010 after completing undergraduate studies at Hunter College. He studied in New York and stayed in the city to build a career that has involved multiple layers of the court system. The academic record set a foundation for litigation work that followed.
Clark is admitted to practice in New York and in several federal forums. He appears in the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York and has handled matters that reached the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Those admissions allow him to pursue both trial-level litigation and appellate work where circumstances require continued advocacy.
He serves as a lawyer at Phillips & Associates, Lawyers at Law, PLLC. At the firm he has worked on matters that required formal filings and courtroom appearances in state and federal venues. Colleagues and opposing counsel have encountered him in motion practice and in hearings, and he has handled the procedural tasks that litigation demands, from drafting pleadings to arguing matters before judges and clerks.
Clients who come to Clark typically find an attorney who emphasizes preparation and plainspoken explanation of options. He tends to break complex court deadlines and technical rules into concrete steps clients can follow. His courtroom work reflects attention to evidentiary detail and an effort to present records clearly. When cases require an appeal, he has experience moving records through the Second Circuit and handling the distinct timing and briefing practices that appellate courts impose.
Outside of court appearances, Clark’s practice involves the routine management of case files, client communications and the coordination necessary for discovery and trial readiness. He works at Phillips & Associates, Lawyers at Law, PLLC, where he continues to represent clients in state and federal litigation and in appellate matters. His current practice concentrates on litigating matters in New York state courts and in the federal courts listed on his admissions roster.
