Lawyer with a Heart

From the first time I met Susan I could see this is more then just a job to her. I genuine concern she has shown me during my divorce is unbelievable. Ladies (or gentlemen) if you need to divorce your spouse I truly feel Susan will do her best to help you.

Can’t thank her enough!!

I had been in an ongoing custody/visitation nightmare for almost 3 years when I was referred to Susan by a co-worker. I'd already fired 2 lawyers and was at the end of my rope. My ex was putting my child thru hell and using the court system to do so. I was helpless. I was devastated b/c my child was ...the victim. When I met Susan I was wary as I had been screwed over twice before. I listened and by the end of our consult I knew I was in the right place! She made me feel at ease and that everything would be all right. Susan promised me that she would be the only person handling my case and she would answer every phone call and have my back no matter what. My previous attorneys were part of a firm and I'd often get a lawyer who had no idea who I even was! Susan kept her promise! I had her cell # and she even called me back when I had and issue with my ex during a holiday! She was a pit bull and NEVER backed down. She fought for me and my son as if we were family. Her fees were the same as every other good lawyer and my sons welfare was worth every cent! She was SMART and got the job done! I would recommend her to anyone just like she was recommended to me! I promise, you will not be disappointed.

Best Attorney in Suffolk County!

It's never a pleasant thing to need the services of a divorce attorney. However, if that occasion should arise there is no one else better than Susan. I had a need for her services and I was not disappointed. Susan is a very knowledgeable professional and always respond to my emails and phone calls p...romptly. She was very good at helping me to understand the situation and guided me patiently through the lengthy course of my divorce. I have the utmost respect for Susan. Professionally she is extremely experienced, bright, and a winner. Personally she has first class ethical and moral standards, and is completely straight-forward with you whether you are going to like what you will be hearing or not. With regards to the office, they were incredibly friendly and professional, further contributing to an overall excellent experience given the circumstances. All the above is true, and I'll share some specific details from my case: First off, it was a very complicated case involving custody primarily, and also support. This should have been a very stressful period, and it was, but it was mitigated significantly by Susan's expertise. Her ability to resolve my current issue and also plan ahead relieved me quite a bit and removed a significant portion of the burden. There were numerous occasions where Susan would meet with me on the weekend, sometimes very early in the morning, or take a late night call when something had come up. When we did not connect, she was always very prompt with her response time. She is easy to work with and pleasant to talk to. Susan is someone that I would recommend to anyone in my life whether they, or someone they might know, is in need of the services of a family/matrimonial law attorney. I found it very difficult to choose a lawyer, as there is no 'Consumer Reports' for attorneys, and it's not easily reviewable online. That said, if you are looking for the best attorney in Suffolk County, look no further!

Honest

I went to Susan for a consultation and she was very honest to tell me I don't need to hire a lawyer for my divorce as cut and dry it was with my ex. I would be spending more money than I'd be getting. Very honest!!!

Worth every penny!

I recently took my ex to court who was trying to stop me from seeing my daughter. i checked out 3 different lawyers who all told me "you have a get out of jail free card, walk away" and then i met susan, she sat down listened to me, was compassionate handled everything, went the extra mile and got me... everything i asked for. Joint custody, more time with my daughter, daily phone calls and more. This woman is amazing! she made it feel like my mother was there fighting for me. She is worth every penny! She my lawyer for life now <3
