About Susan
Biography
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.

Replied last February 08, 2012I do not believe that this is a former client of mine. I am very concerned that this person does not identify themselves nor have they spoken with me personally about their concerns. If the person had spoken to me, I do not believe that they would have been misinformed or misled.

There can be doubt that she knows the law and will give you a candid view of what will transpire. She is very capable.
