Susannah A. Stinson

I cannot recommend Susannah highly enough. During one of the most difficult periods in my life, she helped reunify my family after a complex and emotionally challenging situation involving a child. From the very beginning, Susannah was articulate, intelligent, and deeply compassionate. She took the t...ime to truly understand every aspect of our situation and approached each step with care and precision. What stood out most was her ability to navigate such a sensitive case with both professionalism and empathy. She handled interactions with the opposing party thoughtfully and strategically, always working toward an outcome that would not only support my family, but ultimately improve the situation for everyone involved. Equally important, Susannah understood how to work collaboratively with other family professionals and be part of a coordinated team. She brought in the right people when needed and ensured everyone was aligned, which made a meaningful difference in both the process and the outcome. Thanks to Susannah’s dedication and expertise, my children are now in a healthy, stable family environment where they are truly thriving. I am beyond grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate family attorney.

I have been working with Susannah for years now through what has often felt like a long and draining custody battle that has taken an emotional, mental, and financial toll on my family. Even during the moments when everything seemed hopeless, Susannah never wavered. She continues to stand by me with... steady guidance, strength, and unwavering commitment. Susannah and her paralegal, Rebecca, have become a constant and reliable anchor during some of the biggest milestones in my family’s life. Their support goes far beyond simply handling legal matters — they genuinely care and have stood beside me through every step of this journey. Susannah is incredibly knowledgeable, diligent, and sharp. She pays close attention to the details while always keeping the bigger picture in focus. I would not hesitate to recommend her, and I already have, to anyone who needs an attorney who will advocate fiercely while also providing compassion and clarity during a very difficult time. I am deeply grateful for everything Susannah and Rebecca continue to do for my family.

Choosing Susannah Stinson as my child custody attorney is one of the best decisions I’ve made as a parent. Susannah and her team (thank you, Becky!) provided the clarity and calm I desperately needed. I felt supported every step of the way and couldn't have asked for a better advocate for my chil...d’s best interests.

Susannah assisted me with a very complex case of custody for my daughter. She was able to step into a volatile situation and methodically present our case with precision and detail that resulted in a favorable outcome for us. Her patience, diligence, and knowledge is unmatched! I'm so thankful for Su...sannah and her team!

When I first hired Susannah, I was under the impression that she was only interested in my pocket book. As the case progressed I realized that she seemed very introverted and not always forthcoming with information that may not be obvious to a newby like I was. It's easy to misunderstand her intentio...ns, as she can come off very straight-laced, non empathetic, strictly business and emotionless. She is very compassionate, but hides it extremely well! Furthermore, my ex husband had been very verbally abusive and had committed parental alienation between my son and I several times and Susannah set him straight. Anytime I had information concerning my ex and his personality disorder, I would forward the information straight to Susannah so that she knew what I was up against. She advised me along the way what direction to go. She advised me how important it was to keep my son in counseling. She also advised me about processes that were less expensive and what was better for proof in court. I ran out of money due to waiting for my ex to provide proof of property that he never had to begin with and Susannah convinced the judge that he should be responsible for the remainder of my attorney fees. Luckily, the judge agreed! Her paralegal, Jodie was also amazing and always kept me on track for deadlines. Jodie was very patient with me as I fumbled around for all the needed information since I'm not so organized. Although I was unable to achieve full custody of my son, it was not because of Susannah, it was because I was ready to be divorced and no longer drag my son through all the stress of it. She respected my wishes and got me over half of my assets. Her best work is in the court room. She is well respected by all of her colleagues and it showed! Wow! I highly recommend her if you need an honest, hard-working, tough, and super smart attorney!
