“There are attorneys who simply collect a paycheck and then there are attorneys who are determined to win. Susannah and her team are a force to be reckoned with as they provide an attentive, honest and dedicated approach to the cases they handle. Both kept me calm, informed and encouraged me to take the high road when at times it was extremely difficult. In the end, their brilliance, tactical foresight, and professionalism allowed me to come to an agreement with my spouse through mediation when I was convinced that the outcome would be entirely different. I would recommend no other as they exceeded my expectations.”

I strongly recommend her to any parent fighting for justice, parenthood, truth, moral values, and principles.”

CLIENT OF LESLIE J. BOLLIER

“I contacted Leslie Bollier when I had questions about revising custody and child support. I made many mistakes with a different lawyer 8 years ago. Leslie made me very comfortable, safe, and sure with the process. It can be a crazy emotional ride but I would do it all over again for the outcome I have today. Leslie and the team were very professional and efficient. I personally needed the confidence to go through the process and Leslie gave me the confidence and I absolutely know that I would be stuck in my old miserable situation if it wasn’t for her. I am thankful and grateful and will refer everyone I know to her.”

His legal expertise was a great asset when it was most needed, he protected my businesses from ambulance-chasing lawyers.
