As a special victims prosecutor, she litigated everything from basic batteries to homicides, balancing empathy with pragmatism to most compellingly present facts to the final decision-makers, whether that be judge or jury. Claire also has deep experience in virtually all areas of discovery and case management, including document management, e-discovery, conducting legal research, taking and defending depositions, and communicating directly and extensively with clients. She is solutions-oriented, and unrelenting in her desire to obtain positive results for clients.
