Posted by anonymous | May 17, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Family

Child Custody and moving out of state

Very professional. Hired her and she handled my case thoroughly. I felt informed on all possible outcomes, no false promises and I was prepared for Court. Her advice is spot on (follow it!) and she truly protected the best interest of my child. I would recommend her to everyone that has a family law ...issue.

"Susan is the first and most times only divorce attorney I refer people to. Hiring the best attorney in Family Law is critical to a successful outcome at this difficult time. Susan's knowledge of the law and experience is without match in the southwest Missouri area. Your only concern would be to hire her before your spouse does."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
