Effective, caring, and honest attorney

If I could leave 6 stars in this review, I would. Susan has represented me in a high conflict custody battle for several years. Susan was the second attorney I hired for my case; she was able to fix the mess made by my first attorney. Susan has responded to repeated motions from my ex with effici...ency and expertise. Susan met me on the weekends and after hours to prep for the two trials brought forth by my ex and I came out of the trials with solid orders that have brought more stability to my situation to which I attribute to Susan's knowledge and experience. We essentially "won" both trials. Susan is highly knowledgeable of the law and the judges which is an invaluable asset when going through the court system. Susan has also been available to touch base on issues as they arise after my last trial, responding quickly and always advising me honestly, telling me risks and benefits to pursuing motions, contempts, etc. Susan truly cares about her clients and their children. Susan's paralegal Ela is extremely efficient and is invaluable to Susan's team as well. Susan has guided me through this very difficult process and am very thankful to work with her. I highly recommend Susan.

Skilled attorney around child custody / parental alienation cases

I wish I hired Susan three years earlier when I abruptly lost contact with my younger daughter. I had hired an attorney to work on resuming contact when this all started. Unfortunately, the attorney I hired failed to understand the complexities of parental alienation and the situation deteriorated.... I hired Susan after consulting with an expert in the field of parental alienation. The expert recommended Susan since she had a grasp of both the legal and psychological issues around parental alienation. This knowledge was extremely helpful in developing the appropriate parenting plan while being firm with the opposing side. I strongly recommend Susan as a result.

A shark that everyone needs

This is the kind of attorney you want. She is a mother who cares about children. Knowledgeable, smart, and very professional. She never leaves your side no matter how little chance you have. I used her for divorce but I used her for real estate too.

Trustworthy Lawyer

Great choice for my custody matter. Well known and great reputation with judges. Very dependable. I gave her the facts and didn't need to think about anything else! She always made sure everything was taken are of.
