Testimonials
"I indicated to a client who was looking for family law guidance that it was in his best interests to consult with a specialist in matrimonial litigation issues. As with many others in the past, I referred him to you. I explained to him that when my marriage dissolved about a decade ago, you were my ex-spouse's lawyer and ever since, I have always had the utmost respect for how you see and do things in your professional capacity, which is why your name always jumps to my mind whenever someone asks me if I know "a good family lawyer." Incidentally, an unanticipated by-product of my personal experience is that my ex-spouse is now one of my closest friends, which doesn't often happen, and I am so grateful!"
Thomas Percival
"I recently went through a difficult divorce/separation and I am so grateful to have had Susan Berry as my attorney. From the very beginning, she took a personal interest in my case and worked tirelessly to ensure that I recieved the best possible outcome. She was always available to answer any questions I had and took the time to explain everything to me in a way that I could understand. She truly went above and beyond in her efforts to fight for my rights and I couldn't be more grateful. I highly recommend Susan Berry to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated divorce lawyer. Thank you, Susan, for all of your hard work."

"Susan is an outstanding lawyer and amazing person. I cannot thank Susan enough for her exceptional support, integrity, diligence, outstanding knowledge and commitment every step of the way through my divorce. Having Susan as my lawyer, I have always had complete peace of mind I am in the best possible hands and she always goes above and beyond for her clients. Her professionalism and legal knowledge are unsurpassed. I am so grateful to Susan and her team for all their hard work and support over the last 4+ years. Highly recommend!"

"Susan Berry has been my legal representative for over 4 years and I have always found her to be a very honest, caring, intelligent person, never intimidated by often much older (more experienced) lawyers, working hard not only for, but with me. A very intelligent lawyer who truly "gives a damn," always having her client's best interest at heart, ready to answer any of my questions/queries anytime. I would gladly recommend her to any potential client."

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. You don't need a legal strategy in place before reaching out. An initial conversation helps you understand the issues and determine what assistance, if any, may be appropriate for your circumstances.
You may not need full legal representation for every aspect of your situation. Depending on your needs, options such as unbundled legal services or legal coaching may allow you to take care of certain tasks yourself while receiving professional help where it is most useful.
Yes. Family matters often involve several connected concerns rather than a single legal question. We take the circumstances as a whole into account and help identify the legal issues that may need to be addressed.
Your circumstances and priorities remain an important part of the legal process. We discuss the available approaches with you so you can consider the implications of important decisions and stay involved as your matter progresses.
