Clint received his undergraduate degree in Business Administration in 2000, where he also ranked in the top 25% of his class. Clint is an attorney with Burke, Beuoy & Maze, P.C. and practices in the areas of General Civil Litigation, Family Law, Governmental and Commercial Litigation.

Clint serves as a deacon at New Canaan Baptist Church, a substitute municipal judge for the City of Arab, a reading buddy for Arab city schools, and serves on the board of directors for United Way of Marshall County, Marshall County Republican Club, Rotary International – Arab, AL chapter, and Arab Chamber of Commerce.

The attorney who recommended Clint said, “I have known Clint since he was a law school student at Cumberland nearly ten years ago. Clint was the best summer law clerk Wilmer & Lee has ever had. We knew immediately he would be a terrific lawyer. As a first year summer law clerk, Clint handled matters that associates commonly handle, and did so better than most first year associates. He simply had the maturity, intellect, and drive needed to handle any task given to him. So pleased were we with his work that we hired him back the next year, and finally as an associate when he graduated. Clint worked under my direct supervision at Wilmer & Lee for nearly three years, until he returned to his hometown of Arab to take the place of Judge Liles Burke in the Burke, Beuoy practice (working with Liles’ father), when Liles took the District Court bench. (As you will recall, Judge Burke has recently been appointed to the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals.) While at our firm, Clint took ‘ownership’ over files – he made certain that everything was covered. I could trust him to handle a case the way it should be handled. He is a delightful person to deal with, and was liked by our clients, co-counsel, and opposing counsel. Several cases were referred to our firm by opposing counsel in cases Clint handled – one of the ultimate compliments. Clint was my second chair in the Title VII case that we tried to a jury in Judge Acker’s court. Even as a second year associate at that point, Clint played a large role – he took several witnesses and handled many arguments on evidentiary matters. The client loved Clint. The jury did as well. He showed so much maturity, poise, and style. He was unflappable, even though our competition was well prepared. We got a defense verdict for our client, in large part due to Clint’s efforts. Since he returned to Arab, Clint has continued to excel. He is a leader in his profession, his community, and his church. And, with his two partners slowing down as they approach full retirement, Clint is at the helm of the law firm in Arab that handles most significant corporate/defense work in the area – representing Marshall County, the Arab City Board of Education, the water board, the sewer board, and most employers and companies in Arab. Clint is already a leader. He has a lot to offer the bar, and will be a terrific representative of North Alabama in the bar and will be a great Alabama State Bar leader. If he participates in Leadership Forum Class 8, he’ll be hooked, and he will be a resource for the ASB the remainder of his career. We need Clint.”

In his own words, Clint said, “In my relatively short legal career, I have learned that practicing law consists of so much more than simply knowing the law and being able to apply the law to the facts. I have come to realize that one of the most important aspects of practicing law is the ability to build relationships; not only with clients, but with opposing parties, opposing counsel and judges. My goal from the beginning of my practice has been to leave the practice of law better than I found it. I am attempting to do this by always maintaining the high standards of professionalism in my practice. Despite my best efforts, I have occasionally had individuals, whether they be opposing counsel or opposing parties or, in the rarest occasion, my client, after legal encounters with me, develop an unfavorable opinion of me. I always try to mend those fences; however, it is not always possible. I always reflect closely on failed relationships and try to learn from them. It is my hope that, if I continue to makes these types of contributions to the legal profession and apply the lesson learned to future relationships, I can help the people of the community to have a more positive opinion of the legal profession. As far as my contribution to the community, I believe that I have given many things to my community and in return, have gained many things from my community. Although, I can’t help but feel that in some instances, I have gained more from my community, than they have gained from me. I am from a truly small town where most people know you and everyone else. I have the privilege of representing Marshall County, AL, the Arab City Board of Education, many utility boards in Arab, a large number of employers in Marshall County, and to represent many of the citizens of Marshall County. As a lawyer who interacts with so many of my fellow citizens, I am in a position to observe first-hand the needs in our community. It is my hope to gain a great many things from participation in Class 8 of the Leadership Forum such as the additional interpersonal skills that will better enable me to serve my clients both present and future. It is my desire to grow participation with the Alabama State Bar and in my understanding of the legal and social aspects of practicing law. It is these provisions that will allow me to make an even greater contribution to the legal profession as well as my community.”
