We Thrive On The Relationships We Build, With People Like You.
Undergoing a serious family law issue can make you feel confused about your future and how to protect your family and assets. Divorce, child custody, and support disputes are difficult experiences and emotionally taxing. Before making any rash decisions, speak with an attorney who can pave the road for the legal process peculiar to family law and take a relationships driven approach.
Divorce · Custody · Support
OUR PROCESS
When we first talk on the phone, you can ask to speak with an attorney who will triage your issues and set the tone for the upcoming process.
After the phone talk with an attorney, you will schedule a one hour consultation in person (telephone and zoom ok too) with the attorney. Attending this consultation allows you to tell your story and allows the attorney to assess a legal strategy.
Welcome to the Claire Edwards Law Firm
Our team of lawyers focuses on family law, including, but not limited to; collaborative approach, document prep, and full-scale litigation. We provide devoted representation for clients with family law concerns, including divorce. With a relationships-driven approach, we help people navigate child custody, child support, spousal support, property division, and other related issues. We also represent clients in criminal cases. We handle everything from minor charges to serious offenses, including allegations of driving under the influence, and other misdemeanors and non-capital felonies.
When she is not assisting clients, our founder remains deeply dedicated to the local community. Among other professional organizations, Ms. Edwards is a member of the Lafayette Bar Association and Acadiana Cultural Latin Association. Claire Edwards works with people in the Lafayette metropolitan area and surrounding areas.

ABOUT
Claire Bergeron Edwards
Reading and writing bring me joy, and I focused my interests at an early age on the law because it is full of written details. Soon I learned that the complexity and structure of the law are also hugely appealing to me. Then, as I began attending court, drafting pleadings, and maintaining correspondence, I discovered I love advocating on behalf of my clients and protecting individuals’ rights.
Advocating for the rights my clients hold dear frees them to focus on their work and live their lives. And that matters as much to me as it does to them.
