About Susan
Biography
I became a lawyer and a mediator because I am good at advocating for clients and helping people resolve their differences. I have been practicing law in Illinois for nearly 35 years. In 1992, I created, authored and directed the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit Court Kids in a Divorcing Society (KIDS PROGRAM) mandated divorce education program. I have also been a secondary education teacher and coach. I am a divorced single parent of three grown successful children. I have achieved a great post divorce relationship with my EX and his spouse.
I’ve been through it all and standing on the other side, I can tell you there is hope and it will be okay.
