I am committed to helping individuals reach reasonable compromises with their parenting and property issues and guiding them through safe, sane divorces. My motto is "Children are not a prize to be won." I believe children need both parents in their life and I work to maximize time with each parent. I also enjoy working with older women whose husband's are trying to "turn them out to pasture".
On a personal level, I enjoy both my adult children and their families. I am a devoted Grandmother.

Hiring an attorney is never an easy decision, but working with Susan was one of the best decisions we made. She guided us through a years-long stepparent adoption that was not only legally complex but also emotionally challenging. Susan handled our case with incredible care and professionalism, makin...

My terrible experience with Susan J Mundahl, Esq sadly mimics a 2016 review that was written by someone named Curtis. It seems baffling that an attorney with 34 years of Family Law experience would fail to consider her client’s outcome. She repeatedly ignored and dismissed my concerns. Ms Mundahl...
I am sorry that this person felt that the tremendous amount of time and effort that went into her matter was not enough. I am unable to comment on the details of her very complex matter. However, I disagree completely with her statement that I ignored or dismissed her. It is simply not true. In general, the problem with being an attorney handling family law matters is that I am working with clients who already feel diminished or even abused by their spouses. Sometimes, as their attorney, I am subjected to the backlash of their emotional pain and anger. I can assure other readers of this review that I take my role as an attorney seriously and that I make every effort to listen to my clients and respond to their concerns. I have an excellent record with the court, the legal community, and especially with the majority of my clients. One thing I cannot do is guarantee a client's success in the litigation setting. I have no control over an opposing party, their counsel, or a Judge’s decision. I certainly hope that if you are reading this, you will check out how the majority of my clients feel about the services they receive.

I hired Susan to help me through my divorce. Though divorce is not likely a positive experience, Susan helped me to understand that divorce doesn’t have to be an ugly fight, like my preconceived ideas thought. She helped me to understand equitable division of assets, and really helped me to realize t...

Susan and her staff are very professional and care about the needs of the client. Susan and the whole staff really show concern and do what is necessary to get the job done.
