Dedicated and Diligent

My case was badly damaged by a prior attorney. Susan reviewed my very complex and comprehensive case and was able to understand the history and dynamics and the damage that was done. She strategized how to go forward, all while focused completely on the best interests of the children. The final outco...me was favorable and Susan’s approach and diligence was key.

Realmente me arrepiento de haber contratado a esta abogada para mi divorcio en 2007. Como algunas de las personas lo expresan, la Lic. Light recibe el dinero muy contenta, pero despues, muestra la otra cara de la moneda. No me mantenia al tanto de mi caso, yo le tenia casi que rogar para que me die...ra informacion. Fue despectiva y arrogante. Y me acuerdo muy bien de su asistente en esa epoca. Que persona con tan poca calidad humana, tan grosera en el telefono y peor en persona! Como hubiera deseado que en 2007 yo pudiera checar los antecedentes del abogado que iba a contratar. Nunca la hubiera contratado!

Susan and her team are the best!!

This is the second time I have hired Susan and she shined as always. I had a pretty complex case, since my child lived out of state, but Susan was always confident we would win. My case involved multiple hearings. At each hearing Susan was magnificent and her skills really shined through in the co...urt room. Also, every time I needed to speak about my case or needed information, Susan or Kristine (her awesome paralegal) were always there to help. After she won my case the other party appealed. Susan absolutely nailed the appeal response and we have now won the appeal as well. Susan's vast legal knowledge, especially about the UCCJEA, is second to none. Finally, one of the things that impressed me the most was Susan and her team were personable and always made me feel more than just a client. With Susan you get what you pay for -a very talented, experienced and knowledgeable attorney!!!!

Finally!

I met and hired susan the first time I met her. She was honest, concerned, motivated and decisive. My divorce was dredging along with a different lawyer who wouldn't answer calls or emails. Susan and her associates had my signed settlement agreement within 8 hours of the retainer!! My 5 months of ...stress and drama are swiftly coming to an end thanks be to Susan Ames-Light; she's an unwavering professional with intense negotiating skills. Her 30+years of practicing law are exactly the judges order...knowledge, lucid argument and unwavering confidence. ThankYou!

The BEST!

Susan and her paralegal Kristine are the dynamic duel team! They both are very sincere and work from their hearts not their wallets! I recommend them to any one who asks me for a lawyer reference. Susan handles so many cases not for the bill to be paid but for justice to take place. If you need a... lawyer and staff that you want to feel like a team and are willing to go the distance, then call this firm. Ive called Susan to represent me for more then 1 different topic.. Im very satisfied with the results!
