Posted by Ash | September 12, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Not really prepared for Colorado

I hired Susan for my high-conflict divorce in Colorado (Denver). In several instances, she did not know Colorado law, to the detriment of my case. She also did not advise me regarding how Colorado views paying attorneys from joint assets, again, to my detriment. She was not ready to bring the divorc...e to a hearing.

Highly recommended

I consulted with Susan on a marriage issue and found her to be highly knowledgeable, extremely thorough, and very helpful. She never seemed to be in a rush and had the time to answer my questions. I recommend Susan without reservation.

Posted by Gwen | October 16, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Susan is experienced, professional and caring, she did an did an amazing job with my case.

Susan was my Attorney in my Divorce/Child Custody Case. She had my children's best interests, as well my mine, as her top priority; I had my full trust in her. Susan was always well-organized and fast thinking as my case had several ups and downs. She was more than just my Attoney, I know she care...d for my well-being and delivered on the results I needed!

Best lawyer I ever had

Susan handled my divorce case. She was very honest and straight forward in all aspects. Always kept me informed by phone and mail. She sure knew all the laws regarding divorces and she abided by them. I was very pleased the way she handled my case. I would definitely recommend her services to an...yone who needed them.

A Bulldog for your Cause

Susan is a very strong, passionate and dedicated attorney. She navigated through my case with a relentless focus and 24/7 commitment. While I hope her future cases do not involve the same frantic, unrelenting pace that we endured over the past 2 and half years, there is not another attorney I know ...who would have stuck with it as she did. Her persistence, incredible attention to detail, excellent knowledge of the law, strength of character, and confidence enabled an end result for my daughters and me (sole custody) that I did not deem possible 3 years ago. I am eternally grateful and would highly recommend Susan for any family law matter.
