Hired Attorney

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.

Hired Attorney

Ms. Butler was very thorough and knowledgable. She clearly allowed me to set the parameters of what I wanted in my divorce but always made me aware of what was in my best interest and in the best interest of my child. I felt very comfortable with her and have every confidence in her ability to represent me.
