So glad I found Susan. She is the best!

Susan is such a kind and caring person and an amazing lawyer. She and her team helped me so much during my divorce. I am so grateful for their help. Who you hire to represent you is important and Susan is the best. She is well respected and well known for a reason. She will fight for you and your chi...ldren's rights. I highly recommend her if you need an attorney.

Phenomenal

I was divorcing from an abusive marriage. Susan was by my side every step of the way at all hours of the night. She made me strong in a situation where I felt very weak. She’s very straight forward and explained everything every step of the way. Susan gave me my life back and I’ll always be in her de...bt for that.

  • 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.
