"My clients seem happy with my direct, and inclusive style of interaction, and I achieve good results for them by focusing on what is really important." Susan is also available to mediate divorces or to review settlements for clients who have mediated with other practitioners. She offers community workshops on various aspects of divorce and gives professional training sessions on tax issues in divorce. Susan received her law degree from Northeastern University in 1987.
