Susan Brown represented me recently is a family law case. My case wasn’t difficult but the opposing party was quite difficult. She represented me well but more importantly, she represented my minor child well. She protected his best Interest legally when I wasn’t sure exactly what ”that” looked like. She could talk me off the proverbial ledge but also helped me with clear, non emotional approaches so that I didn’t lose sight of the end goal. I highly recommend having a conversation with her if you are experiencing anything domestic/divorce/child related.

Susan is a great lawyer. She is sophisticated in her control and practice in court proceedings. I highly recommend her for any family law issue. I also know her skill in personal injury law, which was the area she trained in years ago.

When shopping around for a contempt of court case, a mutual Friend suggested Susan Brown. I read the reviews online and was skeptical, but my friend assured me that she would fight for me and do a great job. When I told Susan I didn't have any money left after my divorce she said that she only charges $2,242.00 for contempt of court and that includes her fees and filing fees. Fast forward 6 months and I could tell that she had not listened to my requests at all and failed to address 3 items that I specifically asked her to on top of making my ex husband pay for all of my fees. She did collect money from my ex that day, but instead of reimbursing me $2,242.00, she decided to keep his money and my money. After the contempt of court case I had to ask her 3 times for a bill in the hopes that I would bring attention to the fact that she needed to reimburse me for my deposit now that she has her payment from my ex. Once I received her first and only bill (that I had to beg for) not only did she fudge the numbers to look like she had earned the $2,242.00 AND the $3,500.00 my ex paid her on court day, she had the audacity to add a balance due of $2,024.74. The same bill that I had to ask her 3 times for and not once did she ever mention that the case was going to cost a penny over $2,242.00.

Seriously don’t know what I’d do without this attorney. I call her for for everything. My traffic cases, my business matters, my divorce, LITERALLY everything. I called well over 20+ law firms before choosing Susan and I’m extremely happy with her work and I trust her.

We hired Susan July of 2011 to file a Child Modification and Contempt against Ex. The case dragged on for 2 1/2 years with worse consequences. She did nothing to deter the on going contempt nor filed any new counts against opposing or filing emergency hearings even though she claimed she would in numerous emails. She would also tell us over and over not to worry about the Guardian Ad Litem that "she was her good friend and they dine out all the time". She lies and only cares about where she can meet you for her next payment. We never received a bill or any of her filings. She does not answer emails and when she does it will be a vague one word or two. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A FAMILY LAWYER PLEASE RUN THE OTHER WAY, ESPECIALLY IF KIDS ARE INVOLVED.
