Divorce - Someone to Trust

Hired for a divorce case. The best lawyer out there, Susan is the very responsive, understanding, and thorough in all aspects of your case. In a very difficult case Susan came through for me and my family, the kids were the focus as they should be. Any concerns or questions are explained as well a...s advice and options. She'd be a bulldog when she needed to be as well as caring and understanding. Very professional and treats you like you are her #1 priority, an amazing person. I would highly recommend Susan to address any situation. I will absolutely hire her for any future needs.

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.

Susan is amazing!

I have been in court for the last 2 years. It has been an uphill battle, but I finally have sole custody of my daughter. As a man in Massachusetts, this is certainly a rarity. Working with Susan has been wonderful, and I wouldn't be in this position without her. Custody battles are never easy, but S...usan is truly an expert in her field, and her expertise never left me without hope. She is always available. There have phone calls on Sunday afternoons, middle of nights and even emails answered from Europe. I feel like Susan has always cared about me and my daughter, like a friend, not like a client. Choosing an attorney can be a difficult process, but Susan is the right choice.

A difficult situation

I went to susan with a legal case i needed cousaling on, A little nervous on the possible end result. She listened intevively and asked questions to be clear on things, She told me she would get the police report and talk to the people invovled,which she did within 2 or three days.Susan then sent me... paperwork to let me know when the case was and where. I think she sent the paperwork the same day because i received the paperwork fast. When she could not reach me by phone she emailed me to keep me abreast of the situation. We talked about the payment arrangements and worked out and agreement that would work for both of us. I feel like her price was fair and her service was excellent. She is my new family lawyer. She also didn't sugar coat my situation she was honest but realistic, and thats what i needed to navigate the court system. Superb.
