About Susan
Biography
What I enjoy most is helping people solve potential legal problems before conflicts arise, and to build for the future. Having long experience in both transactional and litigation matters, I have a particular skill in trouble shooting problem areas in contracts, leases, wills, trusts, business entity and property owenrship issues. I always give a free telephone consultation, as I believe it is important for both the attorney and the client to make sure they are a good fit.
