Susan Christie Ciaravella

In our initial consultation, she parsed the details of my legal situation and outlined my options. I hired her to represent me in court in a domestic violence matter. She demonstrated a thorough understanding of the law, my case, strategy and potential outcomes. She explained how the process would go... and I felt like I had a clear understanding of how the steps could unfold, including best and worst case scenarios. In court, she was well-prepared and made the process swift and smooth. The outcome was in my favor. Moreover, her skill sent a clear message to the other party that I was well-represented and I have had no further problems. I highly recommend her and would hire her again.

Susan Ciaravella exemplifies what attorneys should be -- a wonderful blend of professionalism, expertise, client advocacy, compassion, and personal presence. She communicates well, applies her skills to quickly assesses complex cases, and immediately goes into action on behalf of clients. I was hi...ghly impressed by her ability to accomplish vital tasks within a very small timeframe and show up in court to advocate. Although it was not a court in which she frequently practices, she was able to fluently navigate the landscape and provide excellent legal representation. Susan was able to achieve exactly what I requested and needed and I highly recommended her.

When I came to see Susan for the first time, I came with a lot of expectations and knowledge, and all of it was wrong. I thought I would have this simple and easy process of writing a parenting plan and it would take 1 month max. Susan was quick to tell me to brace myself for the worst because thin...gs rarely go off without a hitch, it was just the honesty I needed to prepare myself for the 6 months we ended up having to take to finish a very emotional process. Through it, Susan helped me not only understand the ways the laws could work for me and against me, but also helped me to save me from myself with my own emotional decisions. In the end, everyone won. My son has the financial support he needs, his father has the rights and visitations he deserves, and I have peace of mind that we can all now grow in our perspective roles without any more undue stress. Susan was prepared, bold and demanding with the opposing counsel when needed, but also showed great empathy for all involved. There were times that I really thought we would end up in litigation fighting for years, but Susan's tact kept us from ever having to walk into a courtroom. If you are facing custody and child support issues and are in need of a family attorney, I highly encourage you to give Susan a call, you will be glad you did.
