About My Collaborative Divorce Practice

Personal Mission Statement:

I am honored to represent clients through the Collaborative Divorce model, an empowering, effective and child-centered option for resolving the painful issues inherent in divorce. This confidential Collaborative Divorce process allows me to better assist my clients by focusing on their genuine interests and concerns through the dissolution of their marriage and beyond, resulting in an enhanced quality of life for them and their children.


Having committed to a family law legal practice centered solely on conflict resolution, Susan is pleased to offer her clients the option of Collaborative Divorce as an alternative to the traditionally damaging litigation process. Susan is a skilled and creative problem solver, and a seasoned expert in the resolution of family law disputes. She provides compassionate, personalized and effective representation to her Collaborative Divorce clients by learning and understanding their individual needs, and guiding them through a healthy process that focuses on protecting their children, safeguarding business interests, and dividing assets in an equitable manner. She recognizes the emotional challenges associated with the dissolution of a family through divorce and emphasizes the well being of her clients and their children through all aspects of her representation. She is resourceful and innovative in her approach to resolving conflict and in her ability to overcome impediments to the peaceful restructuring of her clients’ lives post-divorce.
