About Claire
Biography
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! Effective January 1, 2024, we exclusively handle out of court family law matters. This includes consulting regarding upcoming court dates, education for discernment of filing pleadings, and document preparations.
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 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.

Claire helped me to understand my rights and helped me fight for what was right. She is Great at what she does! I felt that she not only was doing her job when working on my case but actually cared about me as a client.
