Clara Whitfield

Background

I spent four years in a public defender office before joining the firm, and it taught me to prepare every file as if it will go to trial. Clients get a straight read of the evidence against them, what each option could mean, and who to call when the court date moves. I would rather over-explain than leave anyone guessing.
