Managing Partner, Ryman Clark PLLC
Alexander “Alex” Clark is a trial and coverage lawyer admitted to practice in all Texas state and federal courts. Our firm is devoted to representing homeowners and tenants when homes become unsafe and insurance companies refuse to do the right thing. Our practice focuses on breaches of contract, property damage claims, insurance bad faith, and litigation arising from unlivable housing conditions including mold, construction defects, and landlord misconduct. Many of these cases begin the same way. A family’s home is damaged, the problem isn’t fixed, and the insurer or landlord responsible refuses to take accountability. That’s when Alex steps in.
Ryman Clark PLLC is a trial firm serving clients throughout the Texas Triangle. Alex approaches every case with a trial-ready mindset by developing clear strategy early, building the evidentiary record with discipline, and preparing each matter as if it will ultimately be decided by a jury.
Alex previously practiced at the largest AmLaw100 law firm headquartered in Dallas, where he represented Fortune 500 companies and other commercial policyholders in insurance coverage and contractual disputes. During that time, he also served as a teaching assistant for insurance law courses at SMU Dedman School of Law and the University of Tennessee College of Law. That experience gave him a closer look at how insurers and large institutions approach high-stakes litigation; insight he now uses to anticipate their defense strategies and hold them accountable.
Before entering private practice, Alex served as a law clerk to the Honorable Lee Yeakel of the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas and as a judicial intern for the Honorable Jan Soifer of the 345th Civil District Court of Travis County. Working closely with trial courts gave him first hand insight into how trial judges evaluate motions, evidence, and strategy, experience he draws on in every case he litigates.
Alex graduated with honors from The University of Texas School of Law, where he served as an Associate Editor of the Texas Law Review, co-founded the student organization Texas Law Veterans Association, and served as a teaching assistant for contract law courses. He earned his undergraduate degree from Austin College magna cum laude, where he was the Student Body President.
Before becoming a lawyer, Alex served in the U.S. Air Force Reserve as an enlisted analyst in charge of the Current Intelligence program for the 433rd Airlift Wing at JBSA–Lackland. He also taught third grade in San Antonio through the Teach For America program. Both experiences helped shape his professional playbook to set ambitious goals, plan backwards, and do hard work that matters.
Alex writes and speaks on insurance litigation, trial practice, and the role of artificial intelligence in litigation. He has been recognized as “One to Watch” in Commercial Litigation by The Best Lawyers in America.
Outside the courtroom, Alex is a distance runner and is dedicated to living a life of service. He has completed six marathons and regularly trains to qualify for the Boston Marathon with the Train Pegasus run club. Alex supports veteran service organizations like wear blue: run to remember and Service to School, where he mentors veterans through the law school application process.
