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.

Not a Winner!
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.

Excellent HONEST Lawyer
We came to Susan with a custody issue. She started out by listening intently and sympathizing. Then she helped us choose our very best option. She's answered every question and concern quickly and concisely. I have to mention the EXCELLENT work put in by the paralegals and office staff!! We were war...

WORSE EXPERIENCE EVER
I did not have a lawyer that was for me..... I paid her to not to represent me but to represent the case against me.... You think when you hire a lawyer that they are for you so you trust them to inform you and keep your best interest at hand. NOT with Susan Be careful.... I was misinformed.... N...
I 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.
"Susan is well respected in the legal community and genuinely cares about all of her clients. She is very knowledgeable about the law as well as compassionate to those going through divorce and other family law matters."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Susan Mundahl for a few years and she is always very knowledgeable and competent."
"I endorse Susan as a family law lawyer. She is very practical and reasonable while still being a strong advocate for her clients."
