HOLISTIC FAMILY LAW, COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE APPROACH

At Claire Edwards Law Firm we offer family law solutions.  Whether it's a parenting plan to help keep mom and dad on schedule or it's a child support analysis to prepare mom or dad for court, we do it!  If you've received a summons to attend court for a hearing officer conference on custody, we can prepare you for that experience and attend with you.  

All our clients have to do is start with a consultation session and unpack their story.  They then need to stay on task with reviewing documents we prepare for them and coming to the office to sign and ask any questions.  Finally, clients get to act on the court results they get (or the agreed upon documents they enter into).  The goal is for our clients to feel a sense of autonomy and ease with parenting and navigating intimate relationships.

My holistic approach is to listen to clients and help them navigate some practical steps in addition to the legal steps of the process.  Further, I encourage a collaborative approach- my clients with the best results collaborate with mental health providers, coaches, and financial planners.

Divorce
Claire is an excellent lawyer. I’m so glad I found her. She helped settle and accomplish everything I needed to in my divorce. She’s very understanding and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend her and use her again if I need an Attorney.

Custody
Ms. Edwards did a fantastic job on my behalf. She helped me secure custody of my daughter and sort out the untenable circumstances of my divorce settlement. Claire's performance and professionalism are exemplary. I would and have recommended her services and counsel.
