Morgan, Collins, Yeast & Salyer is pleased to announce that Sonya Hoskins Gray, a long-time member of our Kentucky Courage legal team, has been appointed to serve as a Clay County magistrate.
She was appointed by Gov. Andy Beshear to fill the unexpired term of her father, Price “P.C.” Hoskins who died in September. He had served as the Clay County magistrate for District 2 since 2010. She learned to help and serve others from her father. She sees this as an opportunity to help her community while honoring his legacy.
Sonya works as a case manager in the Manchester office of Morgan, Collins, Yeast & Salyer. She has been with the law firm for 29 years and serves as attorney Roy Collins’s right hand. People who come to our Manchester office with a personal injury claim will get to know Sonya because she makes it a point to get to know them.
Sonya works with clients on a personal level, answering questions, submitting clients’ medical bills for payment by insurers, preparing documents, and handling property damage claims. She tells clients that they will be good friends by the time they are finished working together on a claim.
“I take pride in making friends fast and making friendships last,” she says.
Sonya sees similarities in her job as a legal case manager and her new position as a Clay County magistrate.
“Every person in our world needs help,” she says. “Trying to help people is something I enjoy and take pride in, whether I’m helping them with a car wreck or with getting a road repaired.”
“You have to take time and listen to people and get to know them,” she says.
As a magistrate, Sonya will serve as a member of the Clay County fiscal court which approves budgets, sets policy, hires staff, and leads county government. She is running in the Republican primary in May 2022.
At Morgan, Collins, Yeast & Salyer, we’ve seen Sonya assist many Kentuckians who came to the law firm in need of help. We are confident Sonya will do an outstanding job serving the people of Clay County as a magistrate just as she has done serving clients of Morgan, Collins, Yeast & Salyer for many years.
