#1 Lawyer / 100% action / No Bs.

Summer is woman of action that gets the job done. She is straight forward and is the attorney you want representing your case. Don't waste your time with anyone else! I am beyond impressed with her skills and work ethic! She is the first person I would call, if i found myself in a situation. ...Steve S. (Ret 1stSgt / USMC).

100% Recommend!

Summer was the only attorney who was finally able to get us to the finish line after years of exhausting custody battles, disappointments and wasted money. I had hoped for full custody at best—but thanks to Summer’s exceptional expertise, and understanding of family court, we were able to achieve a ...successful step-parent adoption!! My child is now safe and secure and I could not be more thankful. I would recommend her a hundred times over. If you're looking for someone who will fight for your family and deliver real results, don't waste your time with anyone other than Summer!

Best divorce attorney

I hired Summer for my second divorce. Much better than the attorney that I used for my first. Her prices are very fair. Would hire again.

The Best

I was in a deeply abusive marriage and never thought I’d find the strength to leave. I felt trapped and afraid for myself and my children — until I met Summer. From the beginning, she listened with compassion and never judged. She made it her mission to make sure we were safe and supported every step... of the way. Summer worked tirelessly for months, making sure we had security, peace of mind, and a fair settlement. She went above and beyond, not just legally, but emotionally — always checking in, always responsive, and always fighting for what was right. Her pricing was fair, and her dedication was priceless. Thanks to Summer, my kids and I are safe, healing, and finally have hope for a better future. I’ll always be grateful to her.
