Exactly what I needed

I was going through a very hostile divorce from my spouse. I believe it was my spouse's intention to put me through as much stress as possible during the process. Mrs. Conlon proved to be exactly what I needed in my case. She provided me support both professionally and emotionally. While the proc...ess of getting a divorce is life changing, stressful, and uncertain; Susan was able to listen, analyze, and provide me the legal representation and advice I needed to get the best results for me and my children.

So disappointed

I hired Ms. Conlon as my divorce attorney because I had heard she was one of the best, and my ex was intent on making the divorce extremely contentious. Communication with Ms. Conlon was sporadic at best. When I showed up for an appointment to go over a settlement offer I received, she hadn't even re...ad it, but made promises to get back to me that week. I then spent over two months trying to get a response from her. I made weekly, then daily, emails and phone calls in an attempt to move my case forward and to work out a settlement with my ex. I heard nothing from her or her office, until the day before I was due in court. I had no settlement, no communications, no nothing. I found out - when the judge threatened to throw me in jail - that my ex had filed several motions, including a motion for contempt against me since I wasn't answering. BECAUSE MY ATTORNEY NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THEM. Needless to say, I had no choice but to fire Ms. Conlon and hire an attorney who would actually work for me and not make my case worse than it already was. I was unable to reach a settlement with my ex and it's entirely possible that it was because my case was completely ignored by Ms. Conlon and her assistant. Instead, I had to spend additional money and go to trial. I cannot even describe the anxiety and stress she caused me during my divorce, which was already stressful. I would not wish this type of experience on anyone.

A Long Battle For Custody

Susan has been an amazing attorney to work with. My husband and I had been in a long, drawn out custody case with my step daughters mother. We were literally running out of money and had tapped out all of the proof that my step daughter was in an unsafe, unhealthy environment. After losing our previo...us case we were referred by an attorney friend to Susan saying if we wanted the best attorney for our case then she was the best. THEY WERE RIGHT! Susan was honest with us, easy to reach, and she kept in contact with us about everything. Susan sat with my husband and I, in her office, and said she could not promise to win, but she promised to fight for us and our daughter. She was able to get us temporary sole custody immediately, and she was able to get us sole custody. We knew it was a long shot, but Susan was able to go to our final hearing with proof of exactly what had been going on. She fought for my family and she would be my first call if I ever needed an attorney again. I'm happy to say we have had sole custody and been a complete,happy family for almost a year now. I did not only gain the best attorney in the world, I gained a true friend.
