Top Notch Representation

Susan and her support staff did an outstanding job representing me in a difficult divorce case. Her expertise, experience, high integrity, and guidance during the 14 month process was invaluable and allowed us to reach a fair agreement with my now ex-spouse. I highly recommend her services if you ...are facing the difficult decision of ending a marriage, especially if you have children involved. Thank you again Susan for all you efforts and results!

very satisfied

I changed attorneys because my previous one was pessimistic about winning child custody. Thank God I found Susan Butler. She was recommended by a paralegal in another Peoria office , and she and her paralegals handled my case all the way through a two day trial. Her brilliance in the courtroom ...showed me what a true professional can do who believes in her client. Last year I again asked Susan to handle some retirement paperwork which required an attorney. Although Susan did not personally handle this case, the results were the same: excellent.

SB Law Saves Lives

Susan Butler was a true god send. My ex wife had custody of our children and hopped from guy to guy and all different locations. My child support was spent on her habits. Then one day she said she is going to marry some guy she new twenty some years ago and move over three hundred miles away. She cl...aimed there was nothing I could do about it. She took my kids and left to be with their new dad. I didn't know what to do so I took my case to Susan Butler. Susan listened and took notes in an amazing fashion because she told me everything I told her word for word after I talked. That was impressive because I was freaked out at the time and talking real fast. Then Susan told me what to do and what she was going to do. I didn't have to do much other then come up with character witnesses. Susan first got my kids to me through the court, interviewed witnesses and family, and fight my case in court. We had a tough fight because my ex's lawyer was playing the fact that my ex was a woman and my kids were two girls that need their mom. Susan fought the good fight and proved instability. We won but even if we had lost I would have still been impressed by Susan's efforts. Susan gave a very impressionable sense of care towards me and my girls who were scared through the battle because they had time with me where they saw structure. It was an amazing win because I am now a single father who has his kids living with him. That is almost unheard of. I have had my girls living with me for five years now and it is a dream come true. We celebrate the day they came to live hear with a vacation every year. It was Florida last year for our vacation. Every other day is like a dream. I look back at the struggle and thank God everyday that I saw Susan Butler's phone number and gave her a shot at helping me. I don't know how it all worked out but my only understanding is that there actually are good lawyers with ethics out there.

Susan Butler: A True Advocate

I found Ms. Butler to be empathetic while remaining very professional. She handled my legal issue with expediency and at minimum financial expense. The issue was the last one to be taken care of from my divorce 18 years ago. I had worked with a different attorney for my divorce and wish now that... I had gone to Ms. Butler back then. I believe that she would have made a very painful experience easier with her gracious manner and the legal proceedings would not have been as protracted. She is a true advocate for her clients. I highly recommend her.
