Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. I have known Attorney Susan Stamps as both a friend and colleague for over 30 years, and our firms are located in the same office suite. Susan is an extremely capable family law attorney, particularly skilled in the areas of financial settlements and alimony and spousal support. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Susan Stamps.

Susan is an outstanding attorney who combines her knowledge of the law with effective and committed advocacy to obtain the best results for her clients. Susan shows great compassion for her clients and is also a tough negotiator with opposing counsel. I worked for Susan from 2002 to 2016 and she was an incredible mentor!
