Claire is honored to serve for her fourth year on the Editorial Board of the Florida Bar Journal. She has been published three times in the Florida Bar Journal with her book reviews of “The Fight to Vote” by Michael Waldman (March, 2018), “The Political Determinants of Health” by Daniel E. Dawes (September/October 2020), and “Democracy for Dollars” by Richard Jacobs (September/October 2022).
Claire has been featured on CNBC.com in “Game-Changing Multitasking Tips from People Who Work 80-hour Weeks” and is a guest blogger for other personal injury law firms. She also is proud to have given a lecture at the Florida Justice Association's 2020 “The One (Wo)Man HR Department For Your Small PI Law Firm” speaking engagement.
Claire is grateful to have been a Master with the Tampa Bay Inn of Court, which is an association of judges, lawyers and law students who share a passion for professional excellence. Monthly meetings outside the courtroom and pressures of daily practice allow members to experience significant educational experiences while building and strengthening professional relationships.
As a member of the FJA’s Women’s Caucus, the Florida Association of Women Lawyers and the Hillsborough Association of Women Lawyers, Claire is provided with the unique opportunity to promote and raise the profiles of other “lady lawyers” and network with other women entrepreneurs.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Client Testimonials & Reviews
“Both Michael and Claire have been prompt in returning my phone calls – this is something that is so exceptional, since with other attorneys, I’d waited days and weeks before they answered me. I’ve received good legal advice on my concerns, and if they can’t help me, they always refer me and my friends to someone who can. Michael and Claire are my first choice. Also, their receptionist is always so pleasant. Keep up the good work.”
