The ABSOLUTE Best. Ethical, professional, and genuine.

Claire is an absolute pleasure! I have tremendous respect for her and she is thorough, knowledgeable and professional. She's a great person to have on your side, and will do EVERYTHING she can for you. I value her advice and opinion, and I trust her completely. She has been such a blessing, for me ...AND my daughter, and I would absolutely recommend her. Claire knows her stuff and means business. She's the best there is.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
