Thank you Sue for saving my marriage

I was referred to Sue Tamblyn after my husband refused to seek treatment for a substance abuse problem that was putting his life and our family security in peril. Sue was very compassionate as I explained that the last thing I wanted was to leave my husband who I still loved very deeply but after a ...failed intervention I had no choice. Sue explained the necessity of moving quickly to file for a separation to protect me from the liability of his driving under the influence. I met with Sue within 24 hours of my initial contact and she immediately prepared a separation document and papers to serve my husband . Long story short, the impending deadline of filing that afternoon was enough to shock my husband into seeking help and he is sober today and working his program. Thank you Sue for helping me save my husband and my marriage

Best Possible Outcome

At the time I hired Sue I had been mired in such a dysfunctional marriage that I had never engaged a lawyer of my own. I was completely ignorant of the process, and brought Sue an exceptionally difficult divorce situation, as my ex-husband had complex business dealings with large debts. As one ofte...n does in a divorce, I came to Sue with plenty of emotional baggage, which she kindly and patiently helped me unpack so that I could separate my anxieties and impulses from my best legal interests. Throughout our professional relationship Sue understood instinctively when to be blunt, when to be gentle, when to be forthright, and when to give me time to process new information or revisit old ideas. She explained the legal ramifications of my decisions in clear, concise, understandable terms so that I always felt as though I were making the best decision possible. After all was said and done, I left my marriage without incurring a financial burden and on very good terms with my ex-husband; this outcome might have been quite different had I engaged a lawyer other than Sue.
