The Project
Claire employed a combination of community outreach and direct services representation with a focus on affirmative litigation in the area of consumer law as it intersects with Bay Legal’s domestic violence survivor client population. Claire complemented Bay Legal’s housing law and family law substantive practice areas with a focus on remedying fraudulent consumer lending transactions that result from financial abuse and separating community property debt at the time our clients separate from an abuser.
