Saved my life

How glowing of a review do you give someone who saved your life? Bad, short duration (3 years), too quick marriage for all the wrong reasons. I had the house (free and clear), wife had the credit rating to get a HELOC so we could pursue a business venture. I quit claim'd the deed to a joint tenancy o...ne (bad mistake) and she got a HELOC ON MY HOUSE!. Wife soon soured on the business venture and emptied what was left in the HELOC account. Relationship went to hell and I reached out to Ms. Ryan. Best call I ever made. Talk about nasty divorces. Wife wanted 1/2 the house and relief from the HELOC. Ms. Ryan successfully parried ever motion wife's attorney filed and I got my house back (wife got no part of it). I did take responsibility for the HELOC - fair since the bulk went into the house. Ms. Ryan has the knowledge, experience and judiciary relationships in SE Mass like no other divorce attorney on the South Shore. Contested divorce? Call Ms. Ryan, she may save your life too.

BEST LAWYER EVER!!

I absolutely the best attorney you can have. I am a man in the state of Massachusetts and I got full legal custody of the kids. When u have attorney Ryan it's not a question of if your gonna win, it's by how much your gonna win!! Very smart , very prepared. Any bad review is from someone who lost to... the ever talented Attorney Ryan. Marital home, kids, business, the divorce she is an absolute superhero!!

Waste of Money

Suasan Castleton Ryan should retire. She thinks she is better than she is. She will speak to you like she understands the law. But in court, she hardly spoke up for me. As a result, I lost a lot of money on the sale of the marital home. Susan has limited knowledge on finaces and will lose yur m...oney and smile and take your money for months. Case should have been a few months, instead it lasted over a year.

Regrets

Be careful not to hire this lawyer. She lies and is less knowledgable about the law than a cook in a fast food restaurant. She only cares about herself and will lie to your face. She seems nice at first, but once the case is in process, you will undersand what I am saying. She should retire and go... get a job at The Paper Store.
