Competent, Thorough, and Compassionate Representation

Going through my divorce was one of the most stressful periods of my life. The realization that I was altering my life and that of my family I wanted an attorney who clearly understood Family Law but also recognized the toll this situation had on everyone involved. Susannah’s straightforward yet co...mpassionate approach gave me comfort that we would get through the process as efficiently and amicably as possible. Susannah was thorough and clear when outlining the process and estimated timelines. Everything was handled efficiently and transparently and Susannah and her staff were always ready to address questions or concerns. Thoughtful and considerate of both sides of the table, Susannah was able to explain everything completely and provided me clear options. I am thankful for her expert legal counsel as well as her objective advise. I came to rely on her when my emotions or stress levels running high to be the voice of reason needed. I am thankful that Susannah was my attorney and would recommend her to anyone.

Exceptional

I have worked with Susannah since 2007. She has assisted me with my initial divorce and several subsequent mediations and court appearances with my ex-husband to revise the decree. Susannah has alway remained professional and objective , especially when my emotions do not. I appreciate her knowledg...e and attention to detail in every aspect of family law.

Susannah Stinson

Susannah helped me manage through a challenging and drawn-out divorce. She is extremely knowledgeable and brings a calming presence to a tough situation. Her unique strength is how she can read the dynamics of each situation and strategize to effectively represent your best interests. She maintains... a calm and objective demeanor while simultaneously showing compassion for your situation.

Excellent Lawyer, Highly Professional and Knowledgeable

Susannah Stinson represented me - she was highly professional, knowledgeable and kept me informed. I trusted her and her team through the length of our time together. I would highly recommend Susannah to others, as she is a true expert in her field,

HORRIBLE ATTORNEY

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Susannah. I felt she was not adequately prepared for my case and seemed unaware of crucial asset inventory details, leaving my assets unprotected. When it came time for depositions, her lack of preparation forced me to request postponements. Additional...ly, I was charged excessively for email correspondence, which felt unjustified given the overall lack of progress. In just four months, I incurred $90K in fees for what amounted to NOTHING but basic email exchanges, which is incredibly disheartening. Moreover, our communication often involved her insisting on being right, but after reviewing the court transcript, it became clear she was incorrect. Based on my experience, I would absolutely NOT recommend her services.
