Would recommend to anyone going through Divorve or Child custody issues

Attorney Snearly helped me beyond measure. I went to her to get a Divorce and child custody issues. Attorney Snearly listened to my concerns. I explained what was most important to me for a settlement. Attorney Snearly gave me honest and fair feedback. She fought unbelievably hard for my wishes. Whe...n my divorce was over I was able to keep my pension, have shared custody of my child with no child support. My ex was not happy with her, but I would recommend Attorney Snearly to anyone!

Confidence

My experience continues with Attorney Snearly for 9 years. Because of her capacity and patience with my situation, I know I can rely on her for fast, clear and consistent advice that is never muddy. Attorney Snearly, I am very proud to say is “my Attorney.” She is comfortable and very confident. Righ...tfully so with her well practiced experience. I look forward to her fast responding advice and always feel better! When it comes to going to court, her I loyalty to me is comforting. I have recommended Attorney Snearly and received grateful thank you. If you read this, consider hiring this Attorney and know your rights and you will learn no matter how difficult process.

Professional, Knowledgeable, Calm - Recommended!

Attorney Snearly represented me during my recent divorce. She provided both candid and realistic guidance during the entire process which kept each development in perspective. Her sage advice helped keep me from making hasty decisions from an emotional basis while keeping me focused on the end result.... Both Attorney Snearly and her paralegal were excellent communicators and responded quickly whenever I reached out to them. I am satisfied with the results Attorney Snearly was able to get in the final settlement as well as the support she has provided post judgement.

Excellent Divorce Mediator

Attorney Snearly led us through the divorce mediation process. She made the process is painless as possible. More importantly, she helped us reach a fair agreement relatively quickly.

Talk to My Lawyer

Susanne handled my house closing when I first came to Connecticut and twenty years later mediated my divorce. I've sent an irrational friend to her for consultation and my friend actually came back talking sense (family law issue). She is knowledgeable, thorough, tough, and incomparably good at ex...plaining how things work. She's my go to and I'm sure my ex-wife would agree.
