She assists clients through the dispute resolution process, whether via letter-writing and negotiation, litigation in federal or state court, mediation, or formal arbitration proceedings.
From the beginning of any representation, Claire works with her clients to understand the resolution they are hoping for and develops a strategy tailored to achieve that outcome.
