Newly named lawyer for St. Augustine Port, Waterweay abnd Beach District. Obstructs Open Records requests on longtime illegalities, including longtime failure to obtain legally bonds for Board members. Arrogated title of "General Counsel" to himself at December 18, 2020 St. Johns County Legislative Delegation meeting. On December 18, 2020, SAPWB lawyer Clay Linton Meek recently arrogated to himself the title of "General Counsel" in talking down to our St. Johns County Legislative Delegation, inter alia demanding a "local bill" with no draft legislation, no SAPWB resolution, no study, and no research, proposing to expand the district boundaries county-wide. https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/108481/12-18_St.johnsLD.pdf (Draft agenda, speaker 12) https://stjohnscountyfl.new.swagit.com/videos/108481 (48:35) This misguided first-time government lawyer badly needs to learn Open Records law. He dawdled for 42 days with my requests. On December 31, 2020, upon receiving Meeks' lengthy and discrusive mumbo-jumbo, I wrote to Florida Assistant Attorney General Patricia Gleason, "will you please help teach Clay Linton Meeks to kindly respect our Florida Constitution, article I, Section 24 and F.S. 119 and 286?" I stated, "I will treasure the opportunity for you and Attorney General Ashley Moody to help educate SAPWBD and its hostile new lawyer, one Clay Linton Meek, an unenlightened solo practitioner who dawdles and attempts to overcharge records request[er]s."

After many years at my former firm, including supervising the workers' compensation group for most of my time there, I quit to start my own firm. I continue to practice in the area of workers' compensation and select civil litigation and criminal matters. I am also a Special/General Magistrate for local governmental entities including Volusia County and the City of DeLand, hearing various matters involving Codes and Ordinances.

Within the Florida Bar, I am a member of the City, County & Local Government Section, the Administrative Law Section, the Alternative Dispute Resolution Section, and the Workers' Compensation Section. I served as Chair of the Florida Bar's Workers' Compensation Rules Advisory Committee for 2013-2014 and served on that Committee overall from 2008 through 2014.

I am also involved in the Volusia County Bar Association, serving as the founding Chair of the Solo and Small Firm Section of the Volusia County Bar Association for 2013-2014 and as a member of the Board of Directors for the term of 2014-2017. I have served as Secretary of the Board of Directors and as Treasurer, and am currently President-Elect. I am also the current Chair of the Workers' Compensation Section of the Volusia County Bar Association.

I am rated by Martindale-Hubbell, which has been publishing ratings for attorneys since 1868; longer than any other organization in the United States. My rating is AV, which is the highest rating possible by that organization.

My current clients include insurance companies and large, self-insured employers, as well as individuals and other businesses. I am regularly hired as a consultant by Volusia County firms and attorneys to assist regarding workers' compensation issues faced by their clients. I have also been retained as an expert in Circuit Court regarding workers' compensation.
