    I was going through a divorce and was looking for a female attorney. Susan Perkins, as well as her assistant Donna were Excellent. The judge ordered the divorce yesterday and I am very pleased that I can put this behind me.

    I was dealing with issues related to my wayward child and DCYF, then later also engaged Susan in a custody issue with my Ex. I chose Susan because I was looking for an attorney who had experience in Family Law, who had plenty of experience as an attorney, and who was not part of a big corporation of lawyers. She has been helpful with both of my cases, and has been very supportive to me as a mother. The DCYF issue is ongoing still because my child is still underage, but I feel well represented. The custody issue was worked out in my favor. Overall, Susan has been very good to work with.
