Empathy & Excellence At Play

Claudia is unbelievably compassionate and knowledgeable. I am so grateful to have her on my side. Not only has she made the complex legal terms easier for me to understand, she has also been a true ally throughout this process. I cannot speak highly enough of her! Grateful for her, grateful for Safeh...ome!

Terrible Attorney!!! Stay Away!!

Claudia is a horrible attorney. She never returned my calls or emails and when she did, she was extremely rude. During our hearing she was slurping her silver cup so loudly that it was embarrassing. She doesn't have professional appearance and dresses very sloppy. This isn't someone who should re...present any client. She lost my case and cost me over $10,000. She does absolutely nothing to help. She also tried to have an affair with my ex husband during the process. So by her representing me and at the same time, trying to flirt with my ex husband that was extremely unacceptable. I would not recommend her to anyone that wants to win their case. She forgot the information I told her, had typos all throughout her motions and even messed up my name during court. Run! Claudia is an embarrasment to the legal community.

Lazy

Would never use again or recommend to anyone having difficulty in a separation or child custody case. Could never reach her, she was never urgent with anything she was doing for me, I had to ask multiple times for anything to get handled, and she basically found the easiest route for her throughout t...he entire process. Extremely dissatisfied and now I’m having to go back and do it all over again with a new attorney.

Excellent Counsel

Claudia handled my divorce from its inception and has always given me great advice and counsel. Her advice and professional contacts also helped save me from foreclosure liability. When I hear the experiences others and some friends of mine have had and note their outcome - compared with mine, the ...difference was I had Claudia and they did not. Claudia has saved me time, money, always speaks the truth, and had provided sound direction. I have/still have custodial rights to my son because of Claudia. That says it all.

THE VERY BEST

I would recommend Claudia to anyone I know that is going through difficult times. The complexity and difficulty of divorce is overwhelming and she takes all the time that you need, so that you understand what’s going on at all times. Her professionalism on handling all my family needs is unmatchable ...by anyone else. I would never use anyone else to represent myself or my children. She is truly the very best at what she does and I can’t imagine how different my life would be without what she has done for my family – THANK YOU Claudia for having the passion and being so great at making the best out of hard situations.
