"Claire listened to us in a way no one had during the hardest year of our lives. She kept everything focused on our kids — not the conflict."

"I came in terrified and left the first consultation feeling like I actually had a path forward. The whole team was warm, honest, and thorough."
T.K.

The Attorney
Claire Nakamura, JD
"I became a family law attorney because I believe the process of separation doesn't have to destroy people. Done right, it can actually be the beginning of something better — for everyone, especially the children."
Claire has focused exclusively on family law for 16 years. She is certified in collaborative divorce practice and trained in family mediation through the University of Washington Dispute Resolution Center.
She is a mother of two, which informs how seriously she takes the impact of legal conflict on children. Her clients consistently describe her as someone who listens first — and then acts with precision.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
The first conversation is free, confidential, and pressure-free. We'll listen, help you understand your options, and give you a clear path forward.
