Great Family Law Attorney and Dream Team

After seeking paternal rights in three counties for two and a half years and two lousy lawyers I finally found Susan Witting. Susan and her great Paralegal Cindy went to work and did a excellent job preparing for court. Susan did an amazing job each time we went to court and kept me informed througho...ut the process. With Susan's help I finally have the shared legal and physical custody I have been seeking. Susan also got the court ordered therapy necessary to help our children heal the wounds caused by separation and divorce. I highly recommend Susan to anyone seeking help with Family Law issues.

"Susan has a well-earned reputation for being the best of the best. You don't become a certified specialist in Family Law or get recognized as a "Super Lawyer" unless you're the cream of the crop. You better retain her or the other side will."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
