S. D. Shivers is the Consummate Professional Family Attorney

Susan Shivers helped me through my recent divorce. She provided her extensive expertise in my case in a direct and business-like manner. Susan is a no-nonsense professional whose knowledgable and compassionate manner helped me through the divorce process in a non-adversarial way that enabled me to re...main friends with my ex-husband. In addition, she helped save us money in the process with her responsive and effective communications. I can't say enough good things about Susan Shivers! I highly recommend her.

After the divorce

i had used a different attorney during my divorce. it was a miserable experience and outcome. three years later it was time to go before a judge to review maintenance for my ex-spouse and i had found Susan. because she was thoroughly prepared and professional she ran rings around opposing council i...n the court room, the lawyer who had made my life miserable during the divorce. Susan and I received the best possible outcome from the judge. i am amazed to this day at the job she did.

Excellent representation

I have worked with Susan during the past 5 years for multiple family law issues (custody, removal, child support, and visitation). She is very ethical, and focused on my specific needs and goals. Gives very practical advice and thoroughly discusses all options. Very responsive to my questions, and... also efficient in her work. She is sensitive to the emotional nature of family law issues, and handles these matters with professionalism and compassion. I felt very reassured by her representation during difficult circumstances.

Great experience!

I hired Susan to help me with a complicated international child support issue - she was outstanding. She was able to simplify the issue so all parties understood and all issues were resolved. I am very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Susan.

Thank you Susan

Susan was great and professional in helping move on with my life and make my divorce as painless as possible. It was emotionally heated at times and Susan was great at helping me navigate through it, even when I was emotional and not in the right state of mind to make good decisions. And she answered... all of my questions in plain English without lawyer babble, even though I probably asked her the same questions several times. I felt Susan was tough and that she really cared about my case.
