First of all, I did not want a divorce and when I met Susan and her team I was clear that I wanted to push for reconciliation. She agreed and the entire "tone" of the divorce was amicable. This was very important to me. My wife hired a firm that was nasty from the start and Susan and her team kept our tone amicable which ended up making us look way better in mediation. Although divorce is expensive, I saved hundreds of thousands of dollars-really. Her team waded through the bogus claims of her counsel easily. I highly recommend her and her wonderful team.
In handling my divorce, Susan was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. My wife's attorney missed an issue which would have caused some problematic tax consequences. Susan brought the issue to our attention and it was resolved quickly before things became final. She was also extremely thrifty with her time, no bill padding here. Her services were an incredible value!
