A dedicated and expert advocate who works tirelessly and offers sound guidance

The first thing I noticed upon meeting Suzanne was her spot-on analysis of the relationship dynamics and the complex financial situation of my case. She understands the psychology of cases and is able to clearly steer through potential hazards as well as analyze complicated finances, with the abilit...y to unearth anything under the radar or undisclosed. Having both the intuitive ability to understand motives and anticipate challenges, along with her tenacity and meticulous work, I find it hard to even imagine working with a better advocate. With her guidance, expertise and straightforward brilliance, Suzanne is invaluable and I will always appreciate her efforts in getting me the best possible outcome in a difficult situation.

Success with Suzanne Griffiths

Some people are masters at their job, Susan is one of them. From the moment I met her and until the moment my divorce was settled, she never steered me wrong. Her brilliance, expertise, and guidance were invaluable to me and my children. Susan's international reputation for guiding her clients throug...h high stakes divorce preceding is justified.

As a result of Suzanne’s (and Lisa’s) hard work, my family and I ended up with the best possible outcome.

From the very first time I consulted with Suzanne, I was extremely impressed with her and her PA, Lisa. They are an incredible team. My situation was made more complicated because my daughter had received major injuries from a car accident. During the process of the divorce, Suzanne had to e...ducate opposing counsel on several issues. Suzanne persevered and we ended up with everything that I wanted and needed and then some. Some lawyers of her stature would have handed off my case to someone different in their firm because I know that she handles divorce/family situations where the assets are much larger than mine. She remained with me and helped me achieve exactly what I wanted and needed. I would never be able to say enough positive statements about Suzanne and Lisa. These incredibly talented, strong, and compassionate women made the quality of not only my life, but my childrens' lives exceptional.

The BEST!!

I hired Suzanne Griffiths to represent me in my 25 year marriage ending in divorce, with kids. My ex-husband is one of the best business negotiators in the world, and in fact worked throughout many continents. I always felt sorry for anyone he negotiated with, because he always won, and unsuspectin...g people didn't realize what they were up against. I knew when we decided to divorce that this was going to be very ugly, as he was always used to winning, and I already knew that he had his own ideas about what was a "fair" settlement, and Suzanne had a fight on her hands at every turn. It got ugly on many occasions, but Suzanne was never deterred or intimidated. In fact, I would say my ex met his match for one of the few times in his life. She had a TON of information that had to be available at her fingertips at a moment's notice (during our 10.5 hr. mediation) and while she kept all the details in her head, the written facts were always able to be found in a moment (her supremely capable paralegal Lisa is extremely organized.) In fact, I would send hundreds of little notes to Suzanne and Lisa about little details and they kept those very organized so I had one less thing on my plate. In fact, that was the best thing about this divorce: The burden was lifted off of my shoulders, and they took everything upon themselves that they could. Of course we had many in-person visits and phone calls, not to mention emails to make sure what course of action I wanted to take, but after that, they took the reigns, making phone calls and getting necessary forms sent out to the correct people, finding out what kind of benefits and other information we had, it was just all moved from my plate to theirs, at a time when I was feeling very overwhelmed. Now our very fair (truly fair) separation agreement is signed, and they are helping me with all the forms for the house transfer, 401k transfer, etc., and I just can't say enough about my attorney. She has been fabulous, she is confident for a wonderful reason, that she is very competent and knows all the laws, and just seemed to drive every phone call with the judge and opposing counsel, she is the Woman in Charge at every turn, against every opposition. I highly recommend Suzanne Griffiths for divorces, she is the best I could ever imagine existing!! I was extremely blessed when I retained Suzanne and Lisa. Also, the amount of money it cost was considerably less than my ex-husband's attorney fees.

Highly Recommend- Outstanding Divorce Attorney

I hired Suzanne approximately a year and a half ago to represent me in what turned out to be a very nasty and contentious divorce. Our divorce was extremely complicated due to many different moving parts regarding our business interests and real estate. What I was expecting was a competent and knowle...dgable attorney. But I got much more. Suzanne exceeded my expectations on every level. She acted as a friend, confidant, and counselor. She acted in a strategic manner at each step of the divorce. In addition, she kept in the loop and I felt confident in her abilities at all times. If you are looking for the best of the best, Suzanne is your lady.

"Suzanne is one of the best high-conflict attorneys out there. I worked with her for 3 years before starting my own practice and can state with certainty that her style has influenced me greatly. For a very high asset case, especially one involving family trusts, Suzanne is your best bet. Her reputation preceeds her especially in Arapahoe and Douglas counties."
