Excellent Attorney!!!!

I was in the middle of a messy divorce and had let two attorneys go when I was referred to Susan. She jumped in mid-stream and was phenomenal. She is extremely responsive- always returning phone calls and emails. She is professional, competent and caring. Susan knows how to effectively fight for... her client's rights while identifying areas of compromise toward settlement. I had a great experience and highly recommend her.

We loved working with Susan

We hired Ms. Perkins after a bad experience with another attorney who missed court appearances and wouldn't return phone calls. Ms. Perkins impressed me immediately. She was knowledgeable and caring. She always returned phone calls and kept us in the loop with our ordeal. I would hire her again in a ...heartbeat and referred her to a friend who had an excellent experience with her as well. If you need a lawyer Ms. Perkins will not disappoint.

Thoughtful and brilliant

Susan made my experience in court very easy. I was su upset and worried about everything. She knew what she was doing and was so great in front of the judge each time. She got me what I needed and what my child needed. I am grateful for her. And I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with... a family court matter.

Outstanding legal representation and service!

I began working with Susan in 2010 for divorce proceedings. The moment I met her, I felt extremely comfortable with her and confident in her abilities from her language, compassion and evident knowledge of the family court process. Still today, I utilize Susan's services for random legal advice perta...ining to family law and am grateful to also consider her a friend. I believe I was meant to meet Susan at the time in my life when I needed her most and every interaction is positive, met with almost immediate replies and savvy, current advice. Would highly recommend Susan to anyone wanting a referral for legal matters. Chances are if it is not her speciality, she will refer to someone who practices law as passionately as she does.

Phenomenal Attorney

In the few months of our business relationship Ms. Perkins kept me apprised of my case. In less then four months I was divorced I was divorced with sole custody and permission to live out of state with no set visitation. After 13 years of imprisonment in an abusive situation...Freedom! I feel like ...I owe Ms. Perkins my life. She is efficient, diligent, professional and respectful. She is the only attorney you will ever need in your corner. I can't say enough about her as I cry with joy and utmost gratitude in writing this.
