Experience I needed!

Words can’t describe how awesome susan is. For two years she has fought by my side for me to get full custody of my son. She’s incredible and she was always treating me like a second mom would. She has always been there for me whenever I needed her or if I was scared she made me feel better. I will h...ighly recommend her as a lawyer in family court because she will get you results!

Very Helpful

Susan has helped me with my trust, estate planning and many other issues that I have had to deal with after the passing of my husband in January of 2012. I have used her services on a number of times in the past few years and always have full confidence in her. She has always been very professional... and compassionate.

Estate & Trust planning

Mrs. Hamra made the best use of both of our time helping me keep costs under control while achieving the desired outcome. I would definitely recommend her - she was great to work with.

Divorce for a middle-age person

Susan and her staff are top notch and very professional. Being a middle-age man requesting a divorce, Susan helped me understand the legal process as well as provided me great advice that culminated in a judgment of no maintenance payments and an equitable split of the assets. I thought Susan did a... good job of keeping me informed of my legal expenses all the way through the process and gave me options that permitted me to reduce costs. Given her knowledge and experience, I would highly recommend Susan to represent anyone facing legal issues.

Divorce and custody help

Susan helped me with my divorce and child custody. My spouse and his attorney were very difficult to deal with and Susan was patient and sympathetic to my situation. She was very professional and answered all of my questions. Her assistant, Dianne, was also very helpful. I am finally divorced and... very grateful to Susan for her help.

"I endorse this lawyer. Susan and I have known each other and had cases against each other for almost 25 years. Susan always knows the law and she is exceptionally prepared for every meeting with the Judge. She is a superb negotiator on behalf of her clients, being realistic while at the same time being firm in supporting her client’s position.
