Don't Bother

I hired Susan to represent me within a collaborative process. The other collaborative attorney was Sandra Preliss. Both spent about 2 hours the first meeting extolling the virtues of the collaborative divorce process and reading to us the materials that they'd sent us previously. We attended 3 mee...tings in total and paid around $5000.00 to the two attorneys. Collaboration broke down completely and over the entire process, I received 4 pages of very sparse handwritten notes. What they don't tell you up front is that collaboration is inappropriate for the vast majority of couples. What they don't know to tell you is that neither of these attorneys is a particularly good facilitator. If you and your spouse aren't completely prepared for an amicable, agreeable split, don't bother with Susan. If you are, why do you think you need a lawyer?

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
