About Claudia

I am a practicing attorney in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  Since 2000 I have practiced in the areas of real estate, corporate formations, business, probate and esates, debt and money due and trademark. 

My primary focus is meeting the needs of clients entangled in disputes that are best served by participating in mediation, particularly in the areas of real estate, family law, litigation, elder care, probate and estates.

As a former litigator and someone who has experienced the judicial process up close, I firmly believe mediation of disputes normally relegated to formal hearings is more cost-effective and satisfying to my clients.  Mediation honors the agency of the parties by placing them directly at the table - with meaningful results.

      Ms. Joseph mediated a property boundary dispute and achieved full resolution of the competing claims. She was persistent and articulate. I recommend her highly.

      Efficiently drafted and supplied me with a waiver of liability. Great communication and quick turn around time. I have worked with Claudia in the past and would recommend her highly and work with her again.

      Claudia’s intelligence, warmth and professionalism add a sense of safety and trust to any legal process. She has helped me understand my rights as an employee and made seemingly complicated documentation steps easy to navigate. I highly recommend Claudia!

      Claudia was amazing. Her ability to quickly understand my situation and grasp all the facts helped her assess and have a course of action. She was able to do all the background work in a timely and efficient manner and then formulate a plan. She was able to negotiate on my behalf and come to a settlement that exceeded my expectations in both time and amount. I could have not asked for a better outcome or legal representation. I would highly recommend Claudia to anyone who needs help for any case, big or small.

      We hired Claudia to help us address an insurance claim with our HOA. Claudia was professional, knowledgeable and responsive to our needs. We would strongly recommend her to anyone requiring real estate legal counsel.

      Claudia represented me in a complex negotiation with a former tenant among other matters. She effectively communicated both with me and opposing counsel and helped me negotiate a favorable result. Highly recommended.

      Claudia is thorough, thoughtful, and compassionate, which are characteristics you don't always find in a lawyer. Her abilities to relate to people and understand the issues of every case, based on her preparation, allow her to often mediate difficult issues with success.
