Sue was very good at guiding me through my divorce

I had a very positive experience with Mrs. Kamman as my divorce attorney. My case involved custody, a shared underwater home that was complex to get my name removed from (due to the mortgage company), and my wanting to maintain a positive relationship with my Ex. In other words, while it was a frien...dly divorce; it did involve several issues that needed legal expertise. Sue was able to provide that for me. Also Sue did an outstanding job presenting me in court. The McHenry county judges respect her and she has an excellent working relationship with them. She has the divorce court system memorized down to every detail and form. Recently my Ex passed away, and our child is still a teen. Sue was able to help and guide me on who to contact to take on this next complicated journey. She also was able to provide the estate attorney with the divorce documentation needed. It was very helpful and again it was very good experience. even though it occurred after my divorce business was complete and finalized.

Highly recommended....

I hired Susan to handle my not so pleasant divorce. From the very start Susan was as knowledgeable as they come. I was quite nervous as this was my first dealings with divorce and Susan had all the answers I needed to calm my nerves. The opposing attorney tried to play games during the process... and Susan stopped her in her tracks! Susan is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the complicated divorce laws in IL. Susan explained every step of the process and made sure I knew exactly what was going to happen and why it was going to happen. There were no surprises in the billing, as it was clearly stated upon the initial visits what I would be charge and why. Susan's court demeanor is excellent, there were times during my divorce that needed Susan to be stern and forceful which she did, and got the outcome we needed. Susan was always professional and polite with me, there were times when she was tough, but she had to be as things needed to get accomplished and I was dragging my feet... There were times when she was in court all day during trials, and still made the time to call me and make sure things got accomplished. Overall I'm very happy that I went to Susan. My ex wanted ALOT more than I wound up giving her, AND I get to see my kids on a weekly basis that originally wasn't going to happen.
