Divorce Proceedings

I hired Susan to handle my divorce proceedings. Not only professional she was empathetic and ensured that I understood where I stood and provided advice and left the decisions to me. I would highly recommend Susan to handle this difficult decision.

Best for DUI

I hired Susan for a dui and refusal to submit to a chemical test. I was so worried about losing my job because my license would be suspended. Susan got me a hardship license so I could work so I didn’t lose my job. She was great and really helped me understand everything that was gonna happen. I’...m so thankful I got to keep my license even though I was dui. So thankful for her

Best Divorce attorney ever

I hired Susan after being served divorce papers. From the moment I walked into her office, I knew I was in the right place. She was easy to talk to, easy to get in touch with and always had my and my kids best interests in mind. I got to stay in our home and my now x husband pays for the mortgage ...and child support. She was ruthless when needed to be, and always explained everything to me. If you need a divorce attorney, please call her.

Chapter 2

I hired Susan to help me with a complicated divorce. We have a lot of assets and children and I was afraid I wouldn't get my share. My husband had an affair too. It took some time, but worth the wait really. She kept telling me chapter 2 would be better and I can say without her help, I wouldn't ...be where I am today. Happy and enjoying chapter 2!

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.
