Right personality and experience for the job!

Susan's calming presence and in-depth knowledge of family practice are essential for promoting win-win scenarios.

She got the best settlement possible in a tough divorce case

Susan got the best settlement possible in a difficult case where the other party was lying. In addition, I hired her midway through the case because I did not see a good outcome with my existing lawyer. Kudos to her and her paralegal Laura Sirois!

A pleasure to work with Susan Stamps

Susan did an excellent job helping me through my divorce. She listened, counseled, supported and encouraged me during the difficult process. Getting divorced is never easy. I felt good having Susan on my side. I have already passed her name on to friends and will continue to do so.

A great advocate

Susan helped and guided me through a difficult time of divorce. She was supportive, and she explained each step in the process clearly. I felt she was absolutely my advocate, knowledgeable and experienced. Susan smoothly handled a few uncomfortable situations that arose when my ex and his lawyer sta...rted to play games. She found straight forward solutions that avoided additional lawyer time (cost) and unnecessary court visits. Susan looked out for my interests in the settlement while also explaining what was possible within the bounds of the law. All in all the whole process took about 7 months beginning to end. At the time it felt like it was never going to end, but I have since understood that it cannot really happen much quicker than that. Many Thanks

Got me what I wanted!

My daughter lives with her mother in the US, while I live in my native country, Denmark. My daughter's mother prevented me from talking to or seeing my daughter in over a year. Susan helped me file successfully with a US court and negotiate an agreement that got me to see my daughter again in spite o...f the difficult situation with me in Denmark. Thank you, Susan - great work!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
