FIVE STAR REVIEWS
At a time when I felt my life had been turned upside down, Susan’s calm, thoughtful and pragmatic approach to my situation gave me a sense of peace. She was thorough but efficient and worked hard to find a collaborative solution with the other side. When my case moved outside of her jurisdiction, she seamlessly transitioned the facts and nuances of my case to the new attorney.

Susan stood by my side and helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. I am forever grateful for her guidance and expertise. She was always available to help and answer questions. She is a well-practiced lawyer and knows just what to do. She is very smart and quick to figure out what to do when you might be stunted with emotion. Again, I thank her for helping me through such a difficult time. I couldn't have done it without her help and guidance.
