Handling my divorce, child support and visitation

About two years ago, Susan was referred to me by a co-worker. I instantly hired her after our initial meeting. She is very direct, honest and a straight shooter. She is still my lawyer due to the continuous back and forth with my soon to be ex and his lawyer. She consistently keeps me in the loo...p of what is going on with my case. She fights for what I want and need 100% and she is always prepared when we go to court. I believe she is here to help anyone that needs it.

Don't Believe the Hype! Watch out!

Has the gift of gab,no action in the court room. She hype the case to be cut and dry case, an easy case, then one week before the hearing she started to sing a different tune. I arrive one hour ahead of time to go over somethings, she did not appear until 20 minutss before hearing time, when I was ta...lking to the Division of Child Support Enforcement she left me with them alone so she could go the bathroom and fix her clothes and snap her shoes. Her representation was useless,unprofessional and resulted in my child support being reduce by $552. She showed no remorse or empathy, and talked to one of the attorney's that was helping with the father of my children case, and after the case she tried to tell me she ran across him somewhere else, and he happened to had been in the court room during the hearing. She expected me to believe that, tried to persuade me not to appeal the ruling per the converstation with him, and indicated the both of them did not feel I had a case. I shocked her when I told her who he was and that he did not just happened to be there, and how I saw him converstating with the father of my kids & his wife. She was still in the court room when I saw that, and she didn't even have a clue of my knowledge of that. I asked her then who side was she on. She will play you for stupid if you let her. Watch her, she will sell you out with out a thought.
