About Claire
Biography
I received my bachelor’s degree with academic honors in 1982 from Binghamton University, where I was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. I attended law school at UNC Chapel Hill, where I served as Research Editor of The North Carolina Journal of International Law and Commercial Regulation. I was awarded my juris doctorate degree with honors in 1988.
Following law school, I moved to Pittsburgh and spent my early legal career as an associate with the Corporate Department of a major downtown law firm. In 1993, I left that firm to co-found a successful law practice in the Wexford area. I established my own practice, also in Wexford, in 2013.

Very pleased!
My husband and I hired Claire to do our wills after we heard her speak at a seminar at the Northland library.
