Excellent Divorce Attorney

Sue handles the some of the most difficult divorce cases (including mine) with extraordinary capability. She is a wise counsel with years of experience in divorce proceedings. Sue is able to provide her clients with not only the insight but also the foresight needed to be both protective, efficient... and uniquely successful in challenging divorce negotiations. Sue's depth of knowledge and complete understanding in both financial and custodial issues makes her unique and superior in handling divorce issues. If your case requires litigation, Sue is highly skilled in court room situations. She maintains a high professional level while at the same time achieving the objectives of her clients. Sue dots her i's and crosses her t's in every situation. I would recommend Sue as an extraordinary divorce attorney whose intelligence, insights, experience and legal acumen provide a phenomenal resource when dealing with a divorce!

SUSAN MOSS IS CRUEL, BARBARIC, INHUMANE—RUN AND DO NOT LOOK BACK

I am writing this review based on the alarming conduct documented in the real where Sue Moss was appointed as Attorney for the Children. Those considering the services of Sue Moss should be aware of serious allegations regarding her professional integrity and advocacy such as: Fabrication of "O...ral Orders": In this case, Ms. Moss reportedly asserted the existence of unverified "Oral Orders" that were neither recorded nor stated in open court. These alleged orders were used to strip a mother of her parental rights and mandate supervised visits at an astronomical cost. Defiance of Judicial Mandates: Documents indicate she ignored protocols established by the presiding judge and replaced qualified, court-appointed experts—who specialized in identifying parental alienation—with inexperienced social workers to influence the court’s direction. Failure of Due Diligence: Despite extensive reports from experts identifying dynamics of coercive control and domestic violence, Ms. Moss is accused of failing to perform necessary due diligence, choosing instead to facilitate a "personal vendetta" that obstructed all contact between the children and their loving and innocent mother for years. Medical Neglect: Concerns were raised regarding her failure to advocate for a child's health when informed of worsening conditions and withheld medical records. Susan Moss is a personification of moral degradation and a betrayal of the best interests of the children she was appointed to represent and protect. Having Sue Moss in your case is a stamp of guaranteed inhumane and barbaric tactics, no matter whose side she is on. There is only one side for Ms.Moss — her side. The side no one, believe me, wants to be on, no matter who she represents.

Disgusting, scum of an attorney.

Susan Moss is a detestable attorney who is only looking for money and self gloat with selfish tactics for funds and drive only to prove her worth at a firm that is devising her exit. Susan Moss is presently under review in two states. Every case she receives is by dint of the state or from a lawyer i...n her firm who is overloaded. Co-workers with proximity to her, unambiguously question her ability to follow the law, over her personal feelings that seem to plunder the better portion of her behaviors. She slithers through the legal scene sneaky and slithery; she never works for the client only to find her own personal gains watching as her clients lose hope in the judicial system and lives are ruined including many children and elderly. Susan Moss has the end coming due to her misconduct and disbarring will be her fate at the bench in Westchester County and Manhattan. Run, yes run your mighty powerful feet far from this horrific attorney.

Bad Advice, Watch your Pocketbook!

I hired Susan Moss together with her associate a few years ago to negotiate my divorce agreement including custody for our child and other matters. Had I known how weak the rules were that I and my (ex-)wife agreed on I would never have agreed to such a contract. But I wasn't warned by my attorneys...... My ex-wife has since violated our agreement continuously and -amazingly- I effectively can do nothing against her deliberate and completely arbitrary breaches of contract. I went to court recently to get an order against my wife on some of the most clear and basic rules of our agreement (minimum time per day my daughter gets with her father), I got this order and still the carry the costs (around $10.000) for my attorneys which I was allowed to hire in accordance with our agrement (and which my ex-wife is supposed to pay under these circumstances according to our agreement). In court Susan wasn't up to date with some of the current developments, email communication etc. and often didn't know certain rules we had negotiated in our agreement (which was a central part of my most recent law suit against my ex-wife). Good luck with this attorney!

This was not my client. I have never worked even worked on a divorce case. I believe this reviewer intended to post the review on a different attorney's Avvo profile.
