CLAUDIA B. DIAZ

Claudia’s practice is focused on litigation, civil rights defense, labor and employment, and other general litigation matters. In addition to obtaining favorable rulings in her cases pursuant to dispositive motion practice, Claudia has participated in alternate dispute resolutions, successfully negotiating a fair outcome on behalf of her clients. In 2008 and 2009, Claudia was named one of Illinois' Super Lawyers Rising Stars. Only 2.5 percent of the total lawyers in Illinois are listed in the Rising Stars and receive this designation.

Before joining Litchfield Cavo LLP in 2005, Claudia served as a law clerk for the Honorable Avern Cohn in the United States District Court for the District of Michigan. Prior to that, she worked as an Intern/Assistant Prosecutor in the Kalamazoo Prosecuting Attorney's Office.

While at Tulane Law School, Claudia served as the board member and coordinator of La Alianza De Derecho, providing pro bono legal aid to Cuban detainees. She also served as a student attorney for the Civil Litigation Clinic, representing individuals involved in civil rights cases alleging discrimination based on any number of grounds, including race, color, national origin, religion, disability, gender, pregnancy, and familial status. She received a Tulane pro bono award for excellence.

Claudia is fluent in Spanish. She was born in Puerto Rico and has lived in other countries including Quito, Ecuador and Mexico City, Mexico. These opportunities have given her a unique perspective on the needs of various clients, and the importance of understanding different points of view in reaching the ultimate successful resolution for her clients.
