Words can’t describe how awesome susan is. For two years she has fought by my side for me to get full custody of my son. She’s incredible and she was always treating me like a second mom would. She has always been there for me whenever I needed her or if I was scared she made me feel better. I will highly recommend her as a lawyer in family court because she will get you results!

Susan has helped me with my trust, estate planning and many other issues that I have had to deal with after the passing of my husband in January of 2012. I have used her services on a number of times in the past few years and always have full confidence in her. She has always been very professional and compassionate.

Mrs. Hamra made the best use of both of our time helping me keep costs under control while achieving the desired outcome. I would definitely recommend her - she was great to work with.

Susan and her staff are top notch and very professional. Being a middle-age man requesting a divorce, Susan helped me understand the legal process as well as provided me great advice that culminated in a judgment of no maintenance payments and an equitable split of the assets. I thought Susan did a good job of keeping me informed of my legal expenses all the way through the process and gave me options that permitted me to reduce costs. Given her knowledge and experience, I would highly recommend Susan to represent anyone facing legal issues.

Susan helped me with my divorce and child custody. My spouse and his attorney were very difficult to deal with and Susan was patient and sympathetic to my situation. She was very professional and answered all of my questions. Her assistant, Dianne, was also very helpful. I am finally divorced and very grateful to Susan for her help.

I consulted Susan Hamra on some custody issues and the amount of child support I was paying a couple of years after another attorney handled my divorce. Her advice was very helpful. She was also did my Trust and some other documents for me. I have been extremely pleased with her services and her integrity as well as her fees.

Susan was my lawyer at a very trying time during which my house was being foreclosed on. She told me how to protect myself and did a much better job than the "expert" I was dealing with.

My wife and I have been entirely satisfied with Ms. Hamra's legal services. We have used her consistently for over 5 years. She helped us develop and implement wills and living wills, set up our estate, assist with my mother's legal needs, and also helped us incorporate our business. She is clear on what she knows and does not know, what additional research is needed, and brings precision to our discussions and her development of legal documents. We recommend her highly.

I hired Susan to help me collect money from my ex. I did receive some of the money owed me, but it was due to my own work and research. Her involvement was limited. She really did not know what she was doing. I regret hiring her.

After my mother passed we continued using Susan Hamra. We received a bill from her for work which had some errors, which she later corrected and adjusted the fee owed. We promptly paid the correct fee. When we asked for a fee quote for the remaining work which was fairly straightforward (quit-claim deed) etc... She then asked for up front fee deposit, which we nor our mother had ever been asked for in the past. After we asked what the deposit was for she then wrote us a nasty letter saying "no client has ever balked at paying a fee deposit". After being in business for 30 years you would think she would be a bit more knowledgeable about what it takes to file a document and appreciative of business our family has provided over the last 10 years. I would highly recommend anyone from using her ever again.
