Susan Marie Alexander

My case was complicated, and after interviewing several family law attorneys and at the recommendation of a friend of mine, who is also a family law attorney, I hired Susan Alexander to represent me because of the complexity of my case. Long story short: A judge signed off on final divorce docume...nts even though my ex-husband and I weren't done negotiation. His counsel altered signed documents and asked the judge to agree to the terms due to default. The judge signed the documents and the divorce was final without any input from me, with the exception of the parenting plan. I interviewed several family law attorneys and none of them caught what Susan caught. My ex-husband's attorney altered signed documents not once, but twice, and the judge signed off on them. Susan was able to have my divorce case re-opened to allow for renegotiations AND was able to get my ex-husband's attorney sanctioned, which is big deal, from what I hear. It's a "no-no" for an attorney to alter signed documents, and the judge (a different judge) let her know that it was unacceptable practice, The judge questioned the quality of the other cases my ex-husband's attorney has handled due to her lack of integrity in representing my ex. Susan diligently works hard for her clients. She's compassionate and fierce, which is a great combination for someone who you want representing you. Thank you, Susan!

Susan helped me navigate a complex family matter and did so in a simple, clear and timely manner. Susan is a great communicator, both in terms of explaining options and actions as well as being prompt and concise in getting back to you when she says she will. I found it very helpful to have someone ...that would dispassionately outline different possible actions and be clear and articulate about her preferred approach.

I was referred to Susan by someone who was in a domestic violence situation with children like myself. Susan is an EXCELLENT 5 Star lawyer. I was extremely satisfied with her services and not only that - she is a kind, caring and very understanding person. She worked very hard on my difficult case... and was my champion and my mentor in helping me move forward with my life. She's a solid lawyer and well worth it - she deserves at least 5 stars because she is a fantastic domestic violence lawyer helping women like me. Thank you Susan.

Susan helped me traverse the family law system for over 12 years. Thankfully with years and years between needs. She, without exception, was professional, helpful, and not pushy to litigate. (Something I highly value.) Having a long-term established relationship was important to me so th...e initial explanation and case history was there. She is level headed during personally challenging and emotional periods. I most definitely recommend her.

Susan Alexander was an absolute blessing to my life. Susan came highly recommended to me in the beginning of a complicated and emotional custody battle. It only took one phone call to realize that she was the person I wanted in my corner. I came into this situation without much in-depth knowledge of... the family court system, and with an extremely high level of anxiety regarding both my dealings with my ex, and with the outcome of this case. Susan was there for me from the start. She respected my autonomy by allowing me to express myself and my desired outcomes, while prioritizing my priorities. She truly cared about the end result of our case. She helped me to create an effective strategy in managing interactions with my ex, as well as a legal strategy that was effective in the courtroom. My anxiety regarding this situation was almost paralyzing. My ex wanted to take our toddler for a great deal of time and bring him into an environment that I did not feel was safe. I was completely blind-sided by my ex's hiring of an attorney and requesting up to 4 nights a week with our son. Once I explained my complicated situation to Susan, she made me feel as though there was light at the end of the tunnel. Never had I considered lawyers to be compassionate, but that is exactly how I would describe Susan. Compassionate and strong. She was ready to go to battle for me. I must also speak to Susan's experience. Susan has been licensed for over 20 years and that wealth of knowledge is apparent in her dealings with the family court system. She was honest with me regarding what she anticipated the outcome of our hearing to be, and strategized in order to achieve our ultimate goal. She was exactly correct in her predictions and got me exactly what I wanted. Susan did it all, and I truly consider her a blessing to myself and my family. The legal battle with my ex will continue into next year, and I would want no one else to represent me or my child's best interests. When this situation began I was completely devastated, but with Susan I found hope. And thanks to her continued and effective level of excellence, I have found confidence as well.
