Susan Shulenberger was kind, patient, understanding, and professional though my process. She was a wise and knowledgeable guide through the Collaborative Divorce process and helped me decide whether that was the right approach for our family. She drew from her extensive experience to come up with creative solutions to issues as they arose. She was mindful of controlling costs and came up with efficient ways for us to work through our parenting plan and finances. She made time for me when I needed it and advised me of things I needed to be aware of. She was kind and sharp and made sure the outcome was child-centered and workable for everyone; with Susan I felt protected, supported, and like I had a strong advocate during what was an extremely difficult time. This may sound weird, but Susan made divorce meetings much more enjoyable, and made it feel like there was a light at the end of the tunnel.

I am beyond grateful for Susan. Through this whole process she was available, had open communication throughout every step of my divorce, helped educate me and was patient when I didn’t understand something, and was incredibly eptathetic and understanding towards me. I truly feel like she helped me achieve the best possible outcome and for that I am so thankful.

I was so impressed by and grateful for Susan’s availability and responsiveness throughout my time working with her. She is incredibly smart, knowledgeable in her field and tough. Her counsel, support and coaching made all the difference and were absolutely invaluable. I’m so glad I had her in my court.

Susan and I met quite a while ago. And while that hints at the arduous process my divorce became, she was there, helping me understand, guiding me through the legal process, but also bringing experience to bear in relationships and breakups. Its a tough time regardless, particularly when the behavior of your former spouse is hard to interpret. Susan was there. Constant consideration not just of the divorce, but of future ongoing relationships, what it take to get this behind you, but not at the cost of your dignity, fatherhood, or an untenable financial situation. Susan is always thinking a few steps ahead. When nothing seems to make sense in an ambiguous and emotionally driven world, Susan provides clarity, reason, and calm. Oh and she is sharp as hell on settlements and getting a deal that works. Works for both parties, I should say. While my case ended up at trial and that was the last resort anyone wanted to pursue, I knew exactly what was going on, why trial was the solution, and have no regrets every step of the way. Things became more complex than anyone expected or wanted. But I knew why these steps were being taken, and felt comfort and pride in that, which is weird to say given the circumstance. We had a great rapport from the beginning, she was a friend and confidant beyond my attorney. She showed passion, was conscientious of what I was going through, and patient. We ended up in court because we wanted to, given the circumstances dealt. I regret none of it, even if I never anticipated that. The outcome was better than I hoped for. I received more than I asked, and I could not be happier. We went through the process. Susan did things the right way. I never felt ill prepared nor did I worry that what actions opposing counsel might pursue, because we were organized and thoughtful every step. Susan was and is tremendous. She's my trusted legal advisor, but she's also a friend who believed in me. Words can't describe what Susan did for me, my kids, and my family. I'd recommend her to anyone.

Susan has been a remarkable lawyer thus far. My divorce has yet to be finalized, my future ex and I elected to take a non-traditional route that is neither litigious nor as formalized as collaborative. Susan's willingness to help me deal with the difficulties this poses has been outstanding. And she does it in a way that doesn't increase her billable hours: i.e., "I could help you with this, but if you were to use resource xxx it would be cheaper or free." For as "friendly" as my divorce is, it is somewhat complicated. There are no children, but it's a long term marriage. But there are assets, health issues and it is complicated by one of the spouses now living outside of the US. It's a lot to manage, and Susan stays on top of it. I always get quick responses from her via email; she sets my expectations realistically; she is extremely flexible - either being the "tiger" in the meetings for me, when I am unable to be strong, or supporting me as I discover how to be strong and look after myself. And she keeps me apprised of my monthly bill, and what to anticipate as events continue to unfold. Hands down the best attorney choice I could have made.

Susan has been exceptional throughout the entire process of my divorce. She is extremely knowledgeable. Her advice and support has helped me get through these trying times. She is always available to answer questions and give advice. I strongly recommend her to any person who has to go through a divorce.

Sometimes, you need someone in your court who understands you and not just the terrible process you may be going through or the mess you feel your life has become. My experience with Susan over these past months (nearly a year now) has proven to me how incredibly important it is to have an advocate who is there for me while working diligently and proactively on my behalf. Not only is she expertly versed in the law, deeply knowledgeable, grounded in real life, and committed to workable, realistic solutions, but what makes her stand out is how personable and accessible she is. Susan is compassionate, understanding, available, and pays attention to what is happening with me. Sure, she had to talk me off the proverbial ledge every now and then, but she demonstrated great empathy and wisdom along the way. Whe she needs to be, Susan is focused, fierce and assertive in her advocacy and all of those important things that lawyers do to help you achieve the best possible outcome in the midst of something as unbelievablly difficult as a divorce (with a child involved). When someone says that divorce is financially one of the worst things that can happen at mid-life, it is true. But Susan was able to help me achieve an outcome I could live with, and protect me from agreeing to impossible terms. I am deeply grateful that she has been there for me through this difficult time in my life. I cannot imagine anyone better.

Susan helped me through my difficult divorce with grace and professionalism. She skillfully acted with compassion as she proceeded to finalize my divorce with an excellent custody plan and exceptional support , maintenance and distribution of assets. She included details that for years later I referenced, having no idea the issues would come up in terms of co parenting. Her regard for the client as a person going through the most possibly painful experience in their life makes the process bearable, but more importantly leaves the client feeling fairly represented with integrity and strength, a nearly impossible combination to find in an attorney today.

I retained Susan by recommendation of a long time family friend. I was on the receiving end of a divorce with a confused mix of property, pension, 401K , etc. Susan was very responsive and professional, flexible, knowledgeable, and caring. Susan was also global in context; and thus was able to motivate a fair settlement without a protracted combat..I highly recommend Susan at Integrative Law in Seattle.

Susan Shulenberger represented me in a contentious divorce case that lasted almost two years. The disputed issues included alimony, a complex business valuation for property separation and child-raising issues for very young children. My ex-spouse preferred to fight rather than resolve these disputes and even sought to delay the trial when it finally did come to trial. The opposing counsel was hyper-sneaky and prone to emotional outbursts too. Through all this tribulation, Susan kept her cool and gave me level-headed advice. She always knew how the big issues would sort out under Washington law and she knew which small issues to sidestep – win the war not the battle was her motto. Meanwhile, she was always sensitive to both the importance of protecting the children from the stress of the conflict and the wisdom of not running the legal cost beyond the minimum necessary. To provide such multi-faceted legal and emotional counsel requires an extremely sophisticated skill-set honed over years of practice. I benefitted greatly from her work and am extremely grateful to her for the very good outcome I got in the end by following her advice.

She's my trusted legal advisor, but she's also a friend who believed in me. Words can't describe what Susan did for me, my kids, and my family. I'd recommend her to anyone.

Susan has been a remarkable lawyer thus far. My divorce has yet to be finalized, my future ex and I elected to take a non-traditional route that is neither litigious nor as formalized as collaborative. Susan's willingness to help me deal with the difficulties this poses has been outstanding. And she does it in a way that doesn't increase her billable hours: i.e., "I could help you with this, but if you were to use resource xxx it would be cheaper or free." For as "friendly" as my divorce is, it is somewhat complicated. There are no children, but it's a long term marriage. But there are assets, health issues and it is complicated by one of the spouses now living outside of the US. It's a lot to manage, and Susan stays on top of it. I always get quick responses from her via email; she sets my expectations realistically; she is extremely flexible - either being the "tiger" in the meetings for me, when I am unable to be strong, or supporting me as I discover how to be strong and look after myself. And she keeps me apprised of my monthly bill, and what to anticipate as events continue to unfold. Hands down the best attorney choice I could have made.

Susan has been exceptional throughout the entire process of my divorce. She is extremely knowledgeable. Her advice and support has helped me get through these trying times. She is always available to answer questions and give advice. I strongly recommend her to any person who has to go through a divorce.

Sometimes, you need someone in your court who understands you and not just the terrible process you may be going through or the mess you feel your life has become. My experience with Susan over these past months (nearly a year now) has proven to me how incredibly important it is to have an advocate who is there for me while working diligently and proactively on my behalf. Not only is she expertly versed in the law, deeply knowledgeable, grounded in real life, and committed to workable, realistic solutions, but what makes her stand out is how personable and accessible she is. Susan is compassionate, understanding, available, and pays attention to what is happening with me. Sure, she had to talk me off the proverbial ledge every now and then, but she demonstrated great empathy and wisdom along the way. Whe she needs to be, Susan is focused, fierce and assertive in her advocacy and all of those important things that lawyers do to help you achieve the best possible outcome in the midst of something as unbelievablly difficult as a divorce (with a child involved). When someone says that divorce is financially one of the worst things that can happen at mid-life, it is true. But Susan was able to help me achieve an outcome I could live with, and protect me from agreeing to impossible terms. I am deeply grateful that she has been there for me through this difficult time in my life. I cannot imagine anyone better.

Susan helped me through my difficult divorce with grace and professionalism. She skillfully acted with compassion as she proceeded to finalize my divorce with an excellent custody plan and exceptional support , maintenance and distribution of assets. She included details that for years later I referenced, having no idea the issues would come up in terms of co parenting. Her regard for the client as a person going through the most possibly painful experience in their life makes the process bearable, but more importantly leaves the client feeling fairly represented with integrity and strength, a nearly impossible combination to find in an attorney today.

I retained Susan by recommendation of a long time family friend. I was on the receiving end of a divorce with a confused mix of property, pension, 401K , etc. Susan was very responsive and professional, flexible, knowledgeable, and caring. Susan was also global in context; and thus was able to motivate a fair settlement without a protracted combat..I highly recommend Susan at Integrative Law in Seattle.

Susan Shulenberger represented me in a contentious divorce case that lasted almost two years. The disputed issues included alimony, a complex business valuation for property separation and child-raising issues for very young children. My ex-spouse preferred to fight rather than resolve these disputes and even sought to delay the trial when it finally did come to trial. The opposing counsel was hyper-sneaky and prone to emotional outbursts too. Through all this tribulation, Susan kept her cool and gave me level-headed advice. She always knew how the big issues would sort out under Washington law and she knew which small issues to sidestep – win the war not the battle was her motto. Meanwhile, she was always sensitive to both the importance of protecting the children from the stress of the conflict and the wisdom of not running the legal cost beyond the minimum necessary. To provide such multi-faceted legal and emotional counsel requires an extremely sophisticated skill-set honed over years of practice. I benefitted greatly from her work and am extremely grateful to her for the very good outcome I got in the end by following her advice.

Susan Shulenberger was kind, patient, understanding, and professional though my process. She was a wise and knowledgeable guide through the Collaborative Divorce process and helped me decide whether that was the right approach for our family. She drew from her extensive experience to come up with creative solutions to issues as they arose. She was mindful of controlling costs and came up with efficient ways for us to work through our parenting plan and finances. She made time for me when I needed it and advised me of things I needed to be aware of. She was kind and sharp and made sure the outcome was child-centered and workable for everyone; with Susan I felt protected, supported, and like I had a strong advocate during what was an extremely difficult time. This may sound weird, but Susan made divorce meetings much more enjoyable, and made it feel like there was a light at the end of the tunnel.

I am beyond grateful for Susan. Through this whole process she was available, had open communication throughout every step of my divorce, helped educate me and was patient when I didn’t understand something, and was incredibly eptathetic and understanding towards me. I truly feel like she helped me achieve the best possible outcome and for that I am so thankful.

I was so impressed by and grateful for Susan’s availability and responsiveness throughout my time working with her. She is incredibly smart, knowledgeable in her field and tough. Her counsel, support and coaching made all the difference and were absolutely invaluable. I’m so glad I had her in my court.

Susan and I met quite a while ago. And while that hints at the arduous process my divorce became, she was there, helping me understand, guiding me through the legal process, but also bringing experience to bear in relationships and breakups. Its a tough time regardless, particularly when the behavior of your former spouse is hard to interpret. Susan was there. Constant consideration not just of the divorce, but of future ongoing relationships, what it take to get this behind you, but not at the cost of your dignity, fatherhood, or an untenable financial situation. Susan is always thinking a few steps ahead. When nothing seems to make sense in an ambiguous and emotionally driven world, Susan provides clarity, reason, and calm. Oh and she is sharp as hell on settlements and getting a deal that works. Works for both parties, I should say. While my case ended up at trial and that was the last resort anyone wanted to pursue, I knew exactly what was going on, why trial was the solution, and have no regrets every step of the way. Things became more complex than anyone expected or wanted. But I knew why these steps were being taken, and felt comfort and pride in that, which is weird to say given the circumstance. We had a great rapport from the beginning, she was a friend and confidant beyond my attorney. She showed passion, was conscientious of what I was going through, and patient. We ended up in court because we wanted to, given the circumstances dealt. I regret none of it, even if I never anticipated that. The outcome was better than I hoped for. I received more than I asked, and I could not be happier. We went through the process. Susan did things the right way.

Susan helped me through my difficult divorce with grace and professionalism. She skillfully acted with compassion as she proceeded to finalize my divorce with an excellent custody plan and exceptional support , maintenance and distribution of assets. She included details that for years later I referenced, having no idea the issues would come up in terms of co parenting. Her regard for the client as a person going through the most possibly painful experience in their life makes the process bearable, but more importantly leaves the client feeling fairly represented with integrity and strength, a nearly impossible combination to find in an attorney today.

I retained Susan by recommendation of a long time family friend. I was on the receiving end of a divorce with a confused mix of property, pension, 401K , etc. Susan was very responsive and professional, flexible, knowledgeable, and caring. Susan was also global in context; and thus was able to motivate a fair settlement without a protracted combat..I highly recommend Susan at Integrative Law in Seattle.

Susan Shulenberger represented me in a contentious divorce case that lasted almost two years. The disputed issues included alimony, a complex business valuation for property separation and child-raising issues for very young children. My ex-spouse preferred to fight rather than resolve these disputes and even sought to delay the trial when it finally did come to trial. The opposing counsel was hyper-sneaky and prone to emotional outbursts too. Through all this tribulation, Susan kept her cool and gave me level-headed advice. She always knew how the big issues would sort out under Washington law and she knew which small issues to sidestep – win the war not the battle was her motto. Meanwhile, she was always sensitive to both the importance of protecting the children from the stress of the conflict and the wisdom of not running the legal cost beyond the minimum necessary. To provide such multi-faceted legal and emotional counsel requires an extremely sophisticated skill-set honed over years of practice. I benefitted greatly from her work and am extremely grateful to her for the very good outcome I got in the end by following her advice.

Susan Shulenberger was kind, patient, understanding, and professional though my process. She was a wise and knowledgeable guide through the Collaborative Divorce process and helped me decide whether that was the right approach for our family. She drew from her extensive experience to come up with creative solutions to issues as they arose. She was mindful of controlling costs and came up with efficient ways for us to work through our parenting plan and finances. She made time for me when I needed it and advised me of things I needed to be aware of. She was kind and sharp and made sure the outcome was child-centered and workable for everyone; with Susan I felt protected, supported, and like I had a strong advocate during what was an extremely difficult time. This may sound weird, but Susan made divorce meetings much more enjoyable, and made it feel like there was a light at the end of the tunnel.

I am beyond grateful for Susan. Through this whole process she was available, had open communication throughout every step of my divorce, helped educate me and was patient when I didn’t understand something, and was incredibly eptathetic and understanding towards me. I truly feel like she helped me achieve the best possible outcome and for that I am so thankful.

I was so impressed by and grateful for Susan’s availability and responsiveness throughout my time working with her. She is incredibly smart, knowledgeable in her field and tough. Her counsel, support and coaching made all the difference and were absolutely invaluable. I’m so glad I had her in my court.

Susan and I met quite a while ago. And while that hints at the arduous process my divorce became, she was there, helping me understand, guiding me through the legal process, but also bringing experience to bear in relationships and breakups. Its a tough time regardless, particularly when the behavior of your former spouse is hard to interpret. Susan was there. Constant consideration not just of the divorce, but of future ongoing relationships, what it take to get this behind you, but not at the cost of your dignity, fatherhood, or an untenable financial situation. Susan is always thinking a few steps ahead. When nothing seems to make sense in an ambiguous and emotionally driven world, Susan provides clarity, reason, and calm. Oh and she is sharp as hell on settlements and getting a deal that works. Works for both parties, I should say. While my case ended up at trial and that was the last resort anyone wanted to pursue, I knew exactly what was going on, why trial was the solution, and have no regrets every step of the way. Things became more complex than anyone expected or wanted. But I knew why these steps were being taken, and felt comfort and pride in that, which is weird to say given the circumstance. We had a great rapport from the beginning, she was a friend and confidant beyond my attorney. She showed passion, was conscientious of what I was going through, and patient. We ended up in court because we wanted to, given the circumstances dealt. I regret none of it, even if I never anticipated that. The outcome was better than I hoped for. I received more than I asked, and I could not be happier. We went through the process. Susan did things the right way. I never felt ill prepared nor did I worry that what actions opposing counsel might pursue, because we were organized and thoughtful every step. Susan was and is tremendous. She's my trusted legal advisor, but she's also a friend who believed in me. Words can't describe what Susan did for me, my kids, and my family. I'd recommend her to anyone.

Susan has been a remarkable lawyer thus far. My divorce has yet to be finalized, my future ex and I elected to take a non-traditional route that is neither litigious nor as formalized as collaborative. Susan's willingness to help me deal with the difficulties this poses has been outstanding. And she does it in a way that doesn't increase her billable hours: i.e., "I could help you with this, but if you were to use resource xxx it would be cheaper or free." For as "friendly" as my divorce is, it is somewhat complicated. There are no children, but it's a long term marriage. But there are assets, health issues and it is complicated by one of the spouses now living outside of the US. It's a lot to manage, and Susan stays on top of it. I always get quick responses from her via email; she sets my expectations realistically; she is extremely flexible - either being the "tiger" in the meetings for me, when I am unable to be strong, or supporting me as I discover how to be strong and look after myself. And she keeps me apprised of my monthly bill, and what to anticipate as events continue to unfold. Hands down the best attorney choice I could have made.

Susan has been exceptional throughout the entire process of my divorce. She is extremely knowledgeable. Her advice and support has helped me get through these trying times. She is always available to answer questions and give advice. I strongly recommend her to any person who has to go through a divorce.

Sometimes, you need someone in your court who understands you and not just the terrible process you may be going through or the mess you feel your life has become. My experience with Susan over these past months (nearly a year now) has proven to me how incredibly important it is to have an advocate who is there for me while working diligently and proactively on my behalf. Not only is she expertly versed in the law, deeply knowledgeable, grounded in real life, and committed to workable, realistic solutions, but what makes her stand out is how personable and accessible she is. Susan is compassionate, understanding, available, and pays attention to what is happening with me. Sure, she had to talk me off the proverbial ledge every now and then, but she demonstrated great empathy and wisdom along the way. Whe she needs to be, Susan is focused, fierce and assertive in her advocacy and all of those important things that lawyers do to help you achieve the best possible outcome in the midst of something as unbelievablly difficult as a divorce (with a child involved). When someone says that divorce is financially one of the worst things that can happen at mid-life, it is true. But Susan was able to help me achieve an outcome I could live with, and protect me from agreeing to impossible terms. I am deeply grateful that she has been there for me through this difficult time in my life. I cannot imagine anyone better.

I truly feel like she helped me achieve the best possible outcome and for that I am so thankful.

I was so impressed by and grateful for Susan’s availability and responsiveness throughout my time working with her. She is incredibly smart, knowledgeable in her field and tough. Her counsel, support and coaching made all the difference and were absolutely invaluable. I’m so glad I had her in my court.

Susan and I met quite a while ago. And while that hints at the arduous process my divorce became, she was there, helping me understand, guiding me through the legal process, but also bringing experience to bear in relationships and breakups. Its a tough time regardless, particularly when the behavior of your former spouse is hard to interpret. Susan was there. Constant consideration not just of the divorce, but of future ongoing relationships, what it take to get this behind you, but not at the cost of your dignity, fatherhood, or an untenable financial situation. Susan is always thinking a few steps ahead. When nothing seems to make sense in an ambiguous and emotionally driven world, Susan provides clarity, reason, and calm. Oh and she is sharp as hell on settlements and getting a deal that works. Works for both parties, I should say. While my case ended up at trial and that was the last resort anyone wanted to pursue, I knew exactly what was going on, why trial was the solution, and have no regrets every step of the way. Things became more complex than anyone expected or wanted. But I knew why these steps were being taken, and felt comfort and pride in that, which is weird to say given the circumstance. We had a great rapport from the beginning, she was a friend and confidant beyond my attorney. She showed passion, was conscientious of what I was going through, and patient. We ended up in court because we wanted to, given the circumstances dealt. I regret none of it, even if I never anticipated that. The outcome was better than I hoped for. I received more than I asked, and I could not be happier. We went through the process. Susan did things the right way. I never felt ill prepared nor did I worry that what actions opposing counsel might pursue, because we were organized and thoughtful every step. Susan was and is tremendous. She's my trusted legal advisor, but she's also a friend who believed in me. Words can't describe what Susan did for me, my kids, and my family. I'd recommend her to anyone.

Susan has been a remarkable lawyer thus far. My divorce has yet to be finalized, my future ex and I elected to take a non-traditional route that is neither litigious nor as formalized as collaborative. Susan's willingness to help me deal with the difficulties this poses has been outstanding. And she does it in a way that doesn't increase her billable hours: i.e., "I could help you with this, but if you were to use resource xxx it would be cheaper or free." For as "friendly" as my divorce is, it is somewhat complicated. There are no children, but it's a long term marriage. But there are assets, health issues and it is complicated by one of the spouses now living outside of the US. It's a lot to manage, and Susan stays on top of it. I always get quick responses from her via email; she sets my expectations realistically; she is extremely flexible - either being the "tiger" in the meetings for me, when I am unable to be strong, or supporting me as I discover how to be strong and look after myself. And she keeps me apprised of my monthly bill, and what to anticipate as events continue to unfold. Hands down the best attorney choice I could have made.

Susan has been exceptional throughout the entire process of my divorce. She is extremely knowledgeable. Her advice and support has helped me get through these trying times. She is always available to answer questions and give advice. I strongly recommend her to any person who has to go through a divorce.

Sometimes, you need someone in your court who understands you and not just the terrible process you may be going through or the mess you feel your life has become. My experience with Susan over these past months (nearly a year now) has proven to me how incredibly important it is to have an advocate who is there for me while working diligently and proactively on my behalf. Not only is she expertly versed in the law, deeply knowledgeable, grounded in real life, and committed to workable, realistic solutions, but what makes her stand out is how personable and accessible she is. Susan is compassionate, understanding, available, and pays attention to what is happening with me. Sure, she had to talk me off the proverbial ledge every now and then, but she demonstrated great empathy and wisdom along the way. Whe she needs to be, Susan is focused, fierce and assertive in her advocacy and all of those important things that lawyers do to help you achieve the best possible outcome in the midst of something as unbelievablly difficult as a divorce (with a child involved). When someone says that divorce is financially one of the worst things that can happen at mid-life, it is true. But Susan was able to help me achieve an outcome I could live with, and protect me from agreeing to impossible terms. I am deeply grateful that she has been there for me through this difficult time in my life. I cannot imagine anyone better.

Susan helped me through my difficult divorce with grace and professionalism. She skillfully acted with compassion as she proceeded to finalize my divorce with an excellent custody plan and exceptional support , maintenance and distribution of assets. She included details that for years later I referenced, having no idea the issues would come up in terms of co parenting. Her regard for the client as a person going through the most possibly painful experience in their life makes the process bearable, but more importantly leaves the client feeling fairly represented with integrity and strength, a nearly impossible combination to find in an attorney today.

I retained Susan by recommendation of a long time family friend. I was on the receiving end of a divorce with a confused mix of property, pension, 401K , etc. Susan was very responsive and professional, flexible, knowledgeable, and caring. Susan was also global in context; and thus was able to motivate a fair settlement without a protracted combat..I highly recommend Susan at Integrative Law in Seattle.

Susan Shulenberger represented me in a contentious divorce case that lasted almost two years. The disputed issues included alimony, a complex business valuation for property separation and child-raising issues for very young children. My ex-spouse preferred to fight rather than resolve these disputes and even sought to delay the trial when it finally did come to trial. The opposing counsel was hyper-sneaky and prone to emotional outbursts too. Through all this tribulation, Susan kept her cool and gave me level-headed advice. She always knew how the big issues would sort out under Washington law and she knew which small issues to sidestep – win the war not the battle was her motto. Meanwhile, she was always sensitive to both the importance of protecting the children from the stress of the conflict and the wisdom of not running the legal cost beyond the minimum necessary. To provide such multi-faceted legal and emotional counsel requires an extremely sophisticated skill-set honed over years of practice. I benefitted greatly from her work and am extremely grateful to her for the very good outcome I got in the end by following her advice.

Susan Shulenberger was kind, patient, understanding, and professional though my process. She was a wise and knowledgeable guide through the Collaborative Divorce process and helped me decide whether that was the right approach for our family. She drew from her extensive experience to come up with creative solutions to issues as they arose. She was mindful of controlling costs and came up with efficient ways for us to work through our parenting plan and finances. She made time for me when I needed it and advised me of things I needed to be aware of. She was kind and sharp and made sure the outcome was child-centered and workable for everyone; with Susan I felt protected, supported, and like I had a strong advocate during what was an extremely difficult time. This may sound weird, but Susan made divorce meetings much more enjoyable, and made it feel like there was a light at the end of the tunnel.
