Susan A Light

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.

Five years ago, in the midst of a contentious divorce, my former attorney had to close her practice due to personal matters. Before panic set in, I requested an excellent substitute, and she recommended Susan Light, without hesitation. Susan quickly and confidently processed many unfortunate details ...regarding parenting issues, my ex’s psychological issues and my need to protect my few assets. Susan was good at condensing complex problems and proposed options for best case scenarios and potential resolutions, including settling some very ugly problems by meeting with opposing counsel. As busy as she was, she responded to my texts and phone calls, and met with me in her office when necessary. I’m a teacher and mother of four, and she was always considerate of my budget and time constraints.. I’ve hired her several times as issues have arisen in the evolution of my post-divorce life, and I feel confident that she has a comprehensive view of my very personal situation, such that I would trust her 100% for any future legal assistance.

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!!!!

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!
