Posted by Reuben | August 23, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Best Lawyer in Michigan

Susan is the best and efficient lawyer I could have ever asked for. I live out of state but I am from Michigan, and it was so easy to communicate with her through phone, email and zoom. She helped me get out of a divorce easily even though Covid made some setbacks. Being in the Military sometimes can... make things difficult when trying to get divorced but Susan helped and came up with a game plan right away that fit my work schedule as well. Her legal assistant Brittany also is a great part of her team that helped answer questions along the way.

Very highly recommended!

Susan is a great attorney. Over the last 5 years, she's represented me several times. She's always prepared, which means a lot, in a very stressful court situation. She does a thorough job of walking you through the process and giving you straight forward advice on what to expect...even if it's not ...what you want to hear. I wish I had hired her from the beginning of my divorce process!

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.
