What our clients and peers say

Before Susan Purvis was involved in my protracted divorce case I found myself in a perpetual stalemate. Thereafter my case moved forward smoothly with Susan fighting my corner. I would recommend her services to anyone with divorce issues, specifically with regard to contact and financial issues.

[Senior associate Susan Purvis’] meticulous approach, honesty and quite frequent attention to the small details,… combined with a very personable approach, that never seems to give up, would lead me to highly recommend Susan for anyone needing family law services.
