This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Nobody wants to go bankrupt

You are in a distressed situation and have lost your status quo when You need to hire a attorney who practices bankruptcy law. Claudia was recommended as a person who not only knows the law but also understands the extremely emotional stress that going through bankruptcy places on a person. Claudia... is a registered nurse and a lawyer. So she has a level of empathy and understanding that you don’t get with a regular attorney. She led me through a seven figure chapter 13 that went on for nearly two years and involved over 100 creditors. In the end I was able to keep my home and get on with my life. I shudder to think how different my life today would be if she had not represented me.

Easy Going and Non Judgmental Bankruptcy Attorney...YES Really!!!

Claudia is amazing. She has always been informative and helpful as well as very professional. She kept me informed every step of the way during my bankruptcy in 2011. I appreciate how she was very non judgemental and easy going. Honestly the best attorney I've ever met. I wish she practiced oth...er types of law...if she did I would have used her for more issues I've run across over the years. Thank you Claudia.

Fantastic

I hired Claudia to handle mine and my husband's chapter 7 bankruptcy. Having no previous experience with lawyer's she made me very comfortable and answered any and every question I had. Claudia made this a very easy and effortless process. She really does care about every case and takes the time to l...isten to your situation without judgment. I highly recommend her!
