Thank you for visiting my AVVO page.. I have been practicing law in Salt Lake City, Utah since 2006. I have tried cases in state courts across this great state. My clients have included the entire range of our diverse society: from elderly widows to juveniles, urban office workers, truck drivers, and employees of the court system. Many of our cases are referred to us by other attorneys, court clerks, and former clients and we take great pride in handling those cases in the best way possible.. I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, and educated at the University of Utah for my undergraduate degree and the University of Miami School of Law for my law degree.. That the practice of law demands service to our community, is a standard taken seriously by myself and I have made many sacrifices to that end for clients.. I have a history of being able to take a case that other attorneys have given up on and find the silver lining.

Clay A. Alger is a partner at Shumway Van’s Salt Lake City office. Mr. Alger graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Utah with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. After graduation he attended the University of Utah’s, S.J Quinney College of Law where he graduated with high honors and received his Juris Doctorate. While attending law school, Mr. Alger served on the Utah Law Review as a senior staff member. During that same time Mr. Alger published an article in that same publication that discussed Utah’s Highway Dedication Doctrine and matters relating to public prescriptive easements. Mr. Alger also earned the CALI Excellence for the Future Award in Administrative Law, an award that is granted to the highest scoring individual at a particular law school. He then proceeded to earn the S.J Quinney College of Law Outstanding Achievement Award in regards to Property Law; this award is reserved for the most apt and able law student for a specific semester.. Following these achievements, before graduation and prior to joining Shumway Van’s Salt Lake City law firm, Mr. Alger gained significant experience as a law clerk for the Litigation Division of the Utah Attorney General’s Office. Upon his admittance to the Utah State Bar, Mr. Alger began his own private practice in Salt Lake City, Utah where he practiced primarily criminal defense and family law. While operating his solo practice, Mr. Alger gained applicable experience and developed a reputation for being one of Salt Lake City’s most thorough and affable Utah attorneys.. Mr. Alger’s philosophy for law can be summed up easily, “I am committed to helping clients navigate the legal system efficiently and effectively. Client involvement is important to me; I consider the attorney-client relationship a collaboration to achieve a desired goal. My goal is to provide high quality legal services at a reasonable and competitive rate. Many attorneys encourage unnecessary litigation so that they can excessively bill their clients. That philosophy is counterproductive in my opinion. I prefer to work towards a resolution that is best for the client, whether that means resolving a case early and amicably, or pursuing litigation aggressively if needed.”. Mr. Alger's practice is currently focused on immigration law, an area with which he has extensive experience. Mr. Alger also has experience with criminal defense and civil litigation and continues to practice in those areas. Mr. Alger has continued to passionately and firmly pursue the ever-evolving world of law, so that he may accurately and effectively serve each of his clients in the best manner possible. Since joining Shumway Van Mr. Alger has obtained immense experience in immigration law and has represented multiple clients before several legal bodies including USCIS, immigration court (EOIR), the Board of Immigration Appeals, and other state and federal courts. In addition, his ability to speak and write fluently in Portuguese has expanded Shumway Van’s Salt Lake City law firm and allowed the opportunity to serve more clients in their pursuit of justice. His constant dedication to Shumway Van, and his accomplishment in becoming a lawyer Utah residents can have trust in, has made him a valuable and respected attorney at our firm.. In Clay’s spare time, you can find him playing on the guitar, hiking through the trails of Utah and above all, spending time with his wife and their three daughters.
