Very Clever

I hired Susan to do a divorce for me two years ago. She was able to keep my wife calm and negotiated a good settlement for me. I told her how my wife thought and during negotiations she was actually able to get her to relent and convinced her that it was her idea! My contested divorce was resolved... within 6 months. (I have friends who started their divorces before me who are still not divorced! ) I rehired her to help me effectuate the divorce by filing court orders to put my half of her pensions into my name. I am very happy with her entire office!

Attorney You Can Trust Your Life With

Susan represented me in my divorce. I was worried, nervous, anxious, and downright scared. Divorce is one of the worst things that can happen in your lifetime. When it came to the first four way, I felt like no showing. Five minutes with Susan, her presence was calming, I knew she would fight for... me and not needlessly make me spend money, she would also gave me the right advice and not just what I wanted to hear. All of a sudden things changed. She was prepared and has a great way of dealing with the otherside. I can’t thank her enough.

Knowledgeable Attorney

Susan has been the family attorney for 20 years. She did two divorces for me, a prenuptial, 2 real estate closings and most recently a trust for my family. I like working with her because she knows a lot about all types of law. She mainly does divorces and family law but also does other things bec...ause divorce and family spills into so many other areas. She is very responsive and her staff is super helpful and knowledgeable as well. Her fees are fair as well. She has always treated me fairly. My children now use her too.

Legal help

I am a new client of Susan. I have a health issue that required getting my affairs in order I am so glad we found Ms Kassel. She put my mind at easy and explained things very well.

Absolutely great attorney with tenacity and perserverance.

I found Susan after interviewing quite a few attorneys. Her well-rounded personality is what made me hire her. On one hand she was empathetic to what I was going through and on the other, she was all about getting down to business. The overall divorce process for my situation took several years. Duri...ng that time, Susan did not lose sight of what was fair to me, even when circumstances beyond our control got in the way. Susan is a strong, tenacious attorney who will fight for you every step of the way!!!
