Handled my complicated divorce, custody and financial trials

Sue is a diamond in an ocean of sleaze. Divorce is ugly and you need a very smart, experienced lawyer. My ex and his lawyer fought dirty and lied about everything. They lied throughout the horrific custody trial and continued their terrible lies throughout the financial trial. Sue knew how to handle ...all their brutal mudslinging. She knows all the players in the system and understands the law very well. She has the street smarts and legal acuity to navigate through this very emotional, gut wrenching, torturous, complicated process. She told me from the beginning that it would be a marathon. And that she would fight for me. And she did. She worked really hard for me and my daughter. My ex was unrelenting for over 7 years and dragged me through trial after trial. He would never settle despite our efforts. Sue uncovered complicated legal and financial deceptions that most people would not have understood or taken the time to understand. She is a whip smart street fighter with a tireless fire to win and she delivers. She not only thoroughly understands the law, but she "gets" the legal game. She also cares for her clients. She puts her blood and sweat into her work. At the end of the day, she is a parent also and truly understood how heartbreaking this terrible process was for me.

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.

Blood on Her Hands

Two years ago, my 13 year old child killed herself. She left a note. ONE OF THE PEOPLE GIGI MENTIONED WAS SUE MOSS. When you have nothing to live for, you stop caring all the paper work you had signed. I never touched that money Sue. And you will never be able to wash the blood off your han...ds.

Worst attorney!!!! Beware

This attorney is the bottom feeder. She is a grotesque human who can’t work with woman or LGBTQ in any shape or form. She is too focused on her own jealousy. My son has opened a complaint with the federal court against her to what she did to him in the system. BEWARE.
