Claire Schindler

Claire Schindler represents people and families in matters involving motor-vehicle collisions, trucking accidents, premises liability, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death. She approaches each matter through its evidence, with close attention to the preparation required before a case reaches a courtroom.

A personal connection to the work
Claire was struck by a drunk driver while attending Louisiana State University. That experience informs the way she listens to clients and understands the practical disruption that can follow a serious injury.

Education and early legal experience
After earning her undergraduate degree in political science from LSU, Claire attended the LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center. She earned her Juris Doctor, a Graduate Diploma in Comparative Law, and a Graduate Certificate in Energy Law and Policy.

During law school, she served as a judicial extern to United States Magistrate Judge Richard L. Bourgeois Jr. in the Middle District of Louisiana. Her work since then has focused on serious-injury and wrongful-death litigation.

Preparation and communication
Claire believes a client should understand both the legal work and the decisions ahead. Her practice emphasizes a focused caseload, direct communication, and preparation shaped to the facts of each matter.

Results

Claire has secured hundreds of settlements for her clients, including 6, 7, and 8 figure settlements. She has also tried many cases to verdict, and received 6 and 7 figure results.
