The most amazing client /lawyer relationship I've ever encountered.
I hired Susan Gray after being neglected and put off by my previous lawyer. The experience I had with Susan was one of great confidence and trust. My case wasn't put on hold or not interesting enough for her. She made this a simple,fast transaction. I would Recommend her to anyone. Her legal assistant Cramelia is a workaholic and will answer any questions as soon a s physically possible. I am thrilled at the outcome and couldn't be more thankful.

Perfect Choice during a Stressful Life Decision
Ms. Gray was my attorney thought my divorce process. She was both knowledgeable with her advice to me and sympathetic to my situation. Both Ms. Gray and Ms. Neal, her legal assistant, were always in communication with me either via email or phone when I had questions during the divorce process. Ms. Gray expertly handled the separation agreement and then the petition for divorce. Ms. Gray personally called me several times, informing me of the updates if Ms. Neal was out of the office. They both made this emotional time in my life less cumbersome and took care of every detail. I am very grateful to Ms. Gray and will be recommending her to others should they need representation for family related law matters.

Kudos to Susan Gray and Legal Assistant, Cramelia Neal
I am deeply grateful someone referred me to Susan Gray. This being the first time ever to go through a divorce, I was apprehensive about EVERYTHING. My consultation with Susan was thorough and I felt that she would truly "have my back" and I hired her. I can unequivocally testify she did have my back. She stood up for me. She was clear and concise as what could be expected and very reassuring. She and her legal assistant, Cramelia Neal, remained on top of all things that needed to be addressed and made sure the process of divorce was negotiated fairly and timely. I did not feel I ever fell victim to the stereotypical scene of an attorney attempting to run up the fees. They were extremely fair. Both Susan and Cramelia truly cared about me both legally and personally. I am happy. Thank you Susan and Cramelia for making a sad life event be processed through as quickly and easily as possible.

Child Supprt/Custody
Recently I sought out the help from Susan Gray to try and get my child support re-evaluated and to gain more time with my children since the separation from my wife. I went in with high hopes that Ms. Gray would be able to help me.. and needless to say I WAS NOT DISAPOINTED!! I now have joint custody of my children and am able "afford" to provide for them as well as maintain a home too. I couldnt have asked for a better outcome! Ms. Gray was everything that I had hoped for and more when representing me in court and she really "let her have it"!!! My wife didnt know what hit her! Thanks again for your help Ms. Gray!

Best advice I ever got.
I used Ms. Gray in 1996. I dropped the divorce action for the sake of my daughter. However, Ms. Gray was effective and pro active. She is a true advocate. I am now refiling as my daughter is 20 and in her senior year in college. If I were in W-S, NC., I would use her again.

All I had to do was mention that Susan was my Lawyer and my ex asked me what I wanted. I told her and Susan and her group set it up and it was over just like that. The power of a name is something special about this Lady.
