Claire studied law at the University of Johannesburg, and then practiced general law for several years after being admitted as an attorney to the High Court of South Africa. Claire used this time to hone her skills in various types of law, while becoming well versed in client relations and all the administrative aspects of dealing with a busy law office. 

She was lucky enough to work as an assistant at the Soweto campus's Law Clinic which gave her invaluable insight to the plight of the less fortunate, and a passion for providing legal assistance to those in need. She then volunteered at ProBono.org, helping the less fortunate at the Johannesburg inner city family law help desk.   

Claire has a passion for nature, counting herself as fortunate that she was able to grow up being exposed to many beautiful South African National Parks. She enjoys walks in nature and is a keen gardener.

"Eli took our case and controlled every hurdle put before us. I one time commented to him that he must love his job because it seemed that he was always available. When talking about my case to anyone I always bring up where, I believe, the other parties Lawyer tried to take advantage of my wife and me. Eli stopped him in his tracks. On top of it being easy to work with Eli, it was a pleasure to have had him represent us. We were in good hands." E.T
★★★★★
"We were in need of an attorney with considerable knowledge of real estate law and the legal issues related to property ownership. Eli Underwood went above and beyond our expectations. In keeping us abreast of our suit, his communication skills were outstanding. This talent was especially demonstrated when dealing with the apposing counsel. We feel this gave us a tremendous advantage over the opposing party that resulted in us reaching a successful outcome. I would highly recommend Eli Underwood as we found him to be an exceptional attorney." P.B.
★★★★★
"In our need for legal services we found Eli to be well informed and on top of our case and our needs. Our's was not an ordinary case as it was a case with many facets. It was a very convoluted case. There were multiple owners involved in a property dispute where one of the owners sued the rest of the owners with a Partition Suit. Needless to say Eli was instrumental in helping us resolve our differences and gained us a profitable sale all with good end results for all. If you hire Eli Underwood you will not be disappointed!"
