Excellent Attorney

Susan represented me in a nasty divorce that lasted 2 years, because my ex-husband kept refusing to sign the papers. She fought for me the entire time, never backing down. She made sure that I knew exactly what was going on at all times and also made sure that I understood everything that was going o...n. She was always available to take my phone calls and answer any questions that I had. She made a very stressful time in my life much easier. The legal system can be very confusing, and she calmed my nerves every time. I would recommend her to anyone that's going through a divorce or custody battle. She fought for me and my daughter like we were one of her own. She's an outstanding attorney that gets the job done!

Susan is the BOMB

I am baffled regarding some of the poor reviews written about this lawyer. I retained Susan to represent me in two separate and complex child custody actions. I have utilized multiple attorneys in the past and by far Susan has been the best. She is quite easy to get in contact with, quick to respond ...and knows her stuff. I walked into a hearing thinking the worst and Susan was able to turn my temporary hearing around in my favor when I should have been a sinking ship. She is not afraid to go to bat for you and is not only a zealous advocate but an amazing courtroom litigator. If you want to complain that your lawyer doesn't call you or email you everyday, maybe you should consider she's actually saving you money instead of billing you to respond to something not important. I highly recommend Susan to anyone in need of a family lawyer and look forward to working with her throughout the duration of my cases!

Worst attorney

Absolutely would not recommend to my worst enemy. I went through a VERY simple divorce. I finally had to type my own paperwork since there were so many typos. The divorce should have taken 30 days. She failed to send the proper paperwork to the court, so it took 2 months to finalize. I was super... impressed at the first meeting with her, but I've not seen her since. I'm still trying to get my refund for overpayment. Don't waste your time/money using this attorney.

Family lawyer | Feb 07

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I am a fellow local attorney here in Fayette County who practices family law and criminal defense. When I needed an attorney to help with my own personal divorce, I got Susan. We lawyers spend hours and hours in court waiting our turn and watching other lawyers do their thing. I've seen Susan in action and this woman knows her stuff. She has a top notch handle on the laws concerning family law. She is not afraid to take on certain male attorneys that try to intimidate or bully her. She sticks up for her clients, knows the law and works hard to get the best results. What more could you want?"

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2015.

Public Reprimand issued in GA, 2015

updated on 11/19/2015

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
