Susan stood by my side and helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. I am forever grateful for her guidance and expertise. She was always available to help and answer questions. She is a well practiced lawyer and knows just what to do. She is very smart and quick to figure out what to do when you might be stunted with emotion. Again, I thank her for helping me through such a difficult time. I could not have done it without her help and guidance.
