I have been an attorney for 33 years and I specialize in family law--which includes divorce, custody, financial support and domestic violence. I make every effort to resolve issues without court involvement to save expense for my client. If litigation is required, I have decades of courtroom experience and work hard to achieve the best outcome. I provide compassionate guidance and fierce legal advocacy for cases where litigation is unavoidable.
I grew up in the Seattle area and have spent the majority of my legal career practicing in the greater Puget Sound area.

She was easily able to navigate me through the legal process of a divorce and child custody, explain my options, and help achieve the desired result.

"Susan is an attorney who makes it easy to hold in high esteem. She doggedly fights for her clients, is honest, professional and smart. Her knowledge of the law and experience is strong and she gets results."
"I have worked with Susan for many years and have always found Susan to be well versed in the law and and a great advocate for her clients. She is a good litigator but also understands the benefits of settlement when appropriate. I endorse this lawyer."
"Susan has built a reputation in the legal community an excellent attorney and an experienced litigator. She is extremely effective in court yet cordial and pleasant to work with in a professional manner. I wholeheartedly endorse Susan."
"I have been opposing counsel with Susan on several matters over the years. Each time she has been a smart and zealous advocate for her client while also knowing when discussion and negotiation will better solve a problem. She has the people skills to not fan flames and make a situation worse - a sometimes rare talent in the legal field. I endorse this lawyer,"
"I endorse this lawyer. I work in the same office suite as Susan and I am impressed by her knowledge and skills. I would call her a "lawyer's lawyer" in that she is a person other lawyers consult when they have a difficult case. Susan is a strong advocate for her clients and an outstanding litigator. I have no hesitation in referring litigated divorces to her."
