Overview

Claire’s detail-oriented approach to real estate transactions helps her focus on clients’ end goals, partnering with them to solve problems and anticipate next steps.

Claire dots every “i” and crosses every “t” when she conducts legal research, writes memoranda and drafts closing documents for real estate development, corporate and education matters. She enjoys interacting with clients to solve problems and educates them on the potential legal issues involved in specific real estate transactions.

She also gained courtroom experience as a legal intern at the City of St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office and as a Court Appointed Special Advocate at Voices for Children, where she advocated in the best interest of an abused and neglected child.
