Susan Anne Heikkila

I hired Susan during one of the darkest periods of my life. My divorce started with chaos. False accusations, being removed from my home, and losing all parenting time with my child. All of it. Everything that mattered to me in this world was on the line. Over the course of a year, Susan methodica...lly helped me rebuild my case and my life as a father. She guided me through constant conflict and sabotage, kept me focused on what mattered, and consistently made smart strategic moves that protected my parental rights. One of the biggest differences Susan made was how she handled the GAL process. She knew how to communicate the right things, the right way, at the right time—so the recommendations reflected reality and supported my role as an equal parent. She also understood the local landscape (judges, process, strategy) in a way that really mattered. I tried to settle multiple times, but when settlement wasn’t possible, we went to trial and that’s where Susan impressed even more than she already had. I provided thousands of documents over the course of the case, and Susan knew the details cold. In court, she was clear, organized, and incredibly effective at pulling the key facts out of the noise and presenting them in a way the judge could actually use. The result: I achieved the outcome that was critical for my child and for my future as a father. 50/50 custody and decision-making, additional makeup parenting time, and strong protections moving forward, plus a favorable financial outcome. If you need a divorce attorney who is strategic, relentless, prepared, and genuinely understands what’s at stake for parents— hire Susan Heikkila.
