A real pro--got me from Point A to Point B seamlessly

Divorce is a rough process and I don't know how I would have done it without Sue. She knew exactly what I needed for my case, and she was my advocate all the way through including when there were big disagreements over child custody. What I also appreciate is her ability to use humor to help keep me ...going when the going got rough--and there were times when things got rough.

Exceptional Attorney!

Sue Moss helped me through a highly stressful and tumultuous divorce. She was a savior in navigating some complicated situations (both financial and custody) and always made herself available to me, even at totally inconvenient times. It was clear that she is respected by the Judge, her peers, and ...well known throughout the courtroom halls. Her intelligence and compassion make her impressive and approachable at the same time. Sue is incredibly well spoken and articulate in court, and all the papers she filed on my behalf were clear and well-written. Sue always listened to what I had to say and would draw from her prior experience to give relevant examples of how it could apply to my case. Sue’s passion for the law, years of experience in court, and unwavering support of her clients truly make her a one-of-a-kind lawyer. I would highly recommend her.

Susan Moss

Sue Moss represented me a number of years ago. After having spent 1.5 years with a prominent firm, I had gotten nowhere and the fees were outrageous. I was lucky to find Sue, who was intelligent, knowledgeable about the key items that pertained to my divorce (among them complex financials,) and wonde...rful to work with. She was able to complete my divorce in approximately six months. Instead of having to go through months of an expensive trial, Sue was able to reach a settlement with the other side. Finally, it was an unusually pleasant experience working with Sue, as opposed to my old firm. She really listened, came up with great strategies and we even laughed at times, as she had a good sense of humor and warm personal style. While I resented paying the large fees for my first firm, I was happy to pay for the excellent work that Sue and her firm did for me.

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!

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.
