About Suzanne

It is vital to find an attorney who is a good fit and forge a solid relationship with whom you will be sharing personal details about your life.

Suzanne’s Family Law Practice

I graduated from the University of San Francisco School of Law in May 1991 and was admitted to the bar in December 1991. I  established my practice in Walnut Creek in 1996 and focus solely on family law matters, serving clients throughout Contra Costa and Alameda counties.

As a certified family law specialist, with extensive and proven experience in my field, I handled all aspects of family law including multifaceted divorce, ranging from Pre and Post Marital Agreements, complex property issues including characterization and valuation of business interests, real estate, and other property; child custody and visitation as well as child and spousal support and post-judgment enforcement and modifications of orders.

As a native Californian, I have a passion for outdoor activities such as snow and water skiing, boating and other water sports.   I am actively involved with the Contra Costa County Bar Association serving on the Editorial Board of the Contra Costa Lawyer Magazine and Food from the Bar committee. I served as the past President of the Robert G. McGrath American Inn of Court and the Women’s Section of the Contra Costa County Bar Association. I attended the University of California, Santa Barbara where I earned my BA in Communication Studies, and Law and Society.
