Good lawyer for estate planning

Clair understood what I needed & got the work done quickly. In my case I only required a financial & medical power of attorney. She prepared them & provided instructions on what my attorney-in-fact & I needed to do with them. It was easy to reach her by email & phone despite the fact that our city... is shut down due to COVID-19.

RECOMMENDATION

She is professional, thorough and keep you updated in a timely manner regarding your case. She will do everything possible legally to help you. I would recommend her to anyone needing legal help.

Sales Executive

Clair was easy to speak to regarding a sensitive subject such as bankruptcy. Clair made the process easy to understand by providing clear instructions on dealing with financial institutions and always returned by messages, which I found calmed by insecurities about filing for bankruptcy. I highly rec...ommend Clair as an attorney.

Great Lawyer, Always Responds Quickly

I retained Clair Stewart for my divorce and child custody after I found an ad for her practice on Craig's List. I emailed her at the posted address and she called the same day. I had spoken to another attorney a few months before that but didn't really like the "vibe" I got from him. He seemed too pu...shy. Clair, on the other hand, was very nice and seemed more interested in sharing her legal expertise than getting onto another client and making more money. She answered any and all questions I had. I was never left in the dark about my case and anytime I called or emailed her she normally got back to me the same day. I would definitely recommend her services and contact her in the future should I need an attorney again.
