Very Knowledgeable Attorney

I first heard about Susan from a coworker who had used her services and was pleased, at a time when my attorney was difficult to contact or always seemed to be working on someone else's case. After hearing about my coworkers positive review of Susan, I went and talked to her. She took the time to tal...k to me about what to expect and what the law states regarding divorce. Shortly after moving my file over to her office, Susan picked up all the short-comings my previous attorney had either missed or just not completed. I went from feeling like a mushroom, to being in the loop of information and my former spouse's attorney then became the one dragging his feet and not getting paperwork done. My divorce has dragged on, but not by any doing of Susan. She has pushed and pulled as much as she could, and I am very pleased with the outcome of my settlement. I highly recommend her if you need her. Divorce is an ugly thing and I felt very comfortable having her handle my case.

Experience and Professionalism

Susan cleaned up the mess my first attorney made of my divorce by filing ill-conceived and untimely motions and running up my costs needlessly. She got the motions vacated and got my divorce settlement back on track. She corrected the combative atmosphere that my first attorney had created and esta...blished an atmosphere of professionalism. Susan is very focused and clear thinking and will not lead you down paths that run up your legal costs and not achieve the results intended. Due to her many years in the legal system, she understands explicitly what will and will not work. Listen to her advice and you will be fine.

Decent fights for client but expensive

Very knowledgable lawyer with many years in Tucson Law. She fought for my case in my divorce settlement, I was very happy and greatful for that. She knows the law and will fight for what's right. She is however, expensive, she constantly asked for additional money and doesn't reimburse, I had to pay ...additional trial fees beyond my initial fee of$4500. When the divorce was settled without going to trial I was Not reimbursed the additional $2500 or any part of it, keep that in mind. At times it was difficult dealing with her and her staff as far as communication regarding due dates and documents required. I guess I would reccomend her, because I am overall happy with my outcome. If I had to do it over I think I would call around and speak with SEVERAL attorney's before settling. Good luck, none of it is easy.

Great Experience

I am so pleased with the result from this horrible divorce. We are both happy and are no longer fighting over everything, Susan truly got us a solution that made us both satisfied.

Celina

I was an out of state divorce client. Susan received permission for me to appear telephonically at all my hearings. My matter was settled at the Mandatory Domestic Settlement Conference. I was very pleased with the Settlement Conference to take place almost three months earlier than originally schedu...led. I highly recommend Susan Schuaf.

Professional misconduct

Admonition and Probation issued in AZ, 2015
