Susan M. Sullivan

I called upon Susan Sullivan to help me with a domestic violence and child custody case. She was more than willing to work with me through this traumatic situation. Susan was able to view my case objectively and thoroughly, while handling all of the proceedings in a professional manner. She is excell...ent at her craft and I would recommend her for any case in Family Law. Attorney Sullivan won't waste your time or money.

Subject: Highly Recommend Susan recently reprented me in my divorce. Being a man in Massachusetts gave me bleak hope of a outcome where I would get my children. From the beginning she laid out a plan and followed through 100%. Not only did Susan help convince the court that I should have sole cust...ody of my children, she negotiated the transfer of the marital home to me, and also protected an additional 20% of my retirement and deferred comp. through her knowledge of case law. Susans gift of gab ran circles around the my ex's lawyer. Her awareness and knowlege in the court room was astounding. She makes you feel like your not a paycheck as some lawyers I have known do. Susan is a great person who you know is in your corner and commited to your case. She also has a great personality that brings some light, humor, and easment to the high stress from the nastiness of divorce. I followed a co-worker's high recommendation of hiring her. She was exactly as advertised and I could not have dreamed of a better outcome.

Ms. Sullivan truly mis-handled my divorce case and the coinciding custody dispute. She never once sent a bill or provided any itemization for the $15,000+ in fees she charged me over the course of 14 months, which got me no more than the bare minimum in terms of filling out the appropriate paperwork...; I continued to pay her because I had no choice. She was impossible to reach on the phone, for weeks at a time, even as late as two days before my scheduled trial. In the courtroom, her lack of preparation and inarticulate addressing of the bench led to her being constantly bulldozed by the opposition and bullied by the judge. She (admittedly) initiated the GAL investigation far too early in the proceedings and I ultimately lost custody as a result of said report. I would strongly suggest that you visit the courthouse and see prospective lawyers in action before being smooth-talked into a business relationship that will have major, lifelong implications for you and your children.
