Susan Philpott-Preketes

I am writing this review based on my direct experience with this attorney while she represented my ex-husband in a family court matter involving our children. Throughout the case, I was deeply concerned by tactics that appeared to prioritize winning over the emotional well-being of the children ...involved. Serious concerns raised by the children themselves were minimized, and the process caused them significant distress. While attorneys are expected to advocate for their clients, I believe there is also a responsibility to avoid unnecessarily escalating conflict or contributing to further harm—especially in cases involving children. In my experience, that balance was not maintained. Parents considering this attorney for family law matters should carefully consider whether her approach aligns with their values regarding children’s best interests.

Sue is by far the best attorney! She is very knowledgeable and does not take any BS! I am going thru a very high conflict custody battle with a narcissist. I wish I had known of Sue when I got divorced otherwise I would not be in the situation I currently am, I am forever thankful I found her. Shes l...ike a bulldog lol

After hiring supposedly the best law office in Livingston county for my divorce and going through whole process as a devoted and loving father I just could not believe the outcome and after consulting with a few attorney's from Livingston county, them all saying it’s a fair outcome/deal for this coun...ty “this county is really hard on fathers” and having Judge Brennan (which I believe is disbarred and serving prison time now) it was a awful time! My ex had been arrested, I had a ppo put on her, tested positive for stuff and developed mental problems, etc…… I still could not believe it. One year went by and all my ex’s true colors started to show and my sons was suffering in many areas because of custody issues, I hired Susan, she looked at my case and could not believe it! Went back to court and she got everything that was fair and then some and then some more!!!!!! My worst mistake was not hiring her first! I have recommended her multiple times in the family law category and everyone has been extremely pleased with her performance!!
