The Law Office of Susan Daniel

Balancing Your Family Law Needs

At our law firm in Santa Rosa, California, we have more than a decade of experience helping people make sound choices as they go through divorce and other family law matters. We have found that by taking the time to get to know our clients, we can understand their goals. Thus, we are ultimately better equipped to resolve divorce and related family law issues such as child custody and child support — be it through mediation, collaborative law or courtroom litigation.

We serve clients in Santa Rosa and throughout Sonoma County. Call 707-304-5242 or toll-free at 1-866-935-8020 to schedule an appointment to discuss your family law needs. You may also contact us online.

A Practical, Cost-Effective Approach

Divorce can be contentious, and while many lawyers like working on contentious divorce cases because they take longer and lead to higher legal bills, we are known for giving our clients honest and reasonable advice. What does this really mean? This is a prime example: It means we never encourage a client to spend $1,000 on legal fees to fight over a $500 piece of property. That choice is not practical, and it does not lead to a good result.

In short, we work hard to help our clients understand both the costs and the benefits of all choices available to them in the divorce and family law process.

Committed to Helping Families

Perhaps the most emotional issue in divorce is child custody. Our highest priority in all family law matters involving children is to address their best interests. Our firm's founder, attorney Susan Daniel, is a single mother of two teenage daughters. She understands and empathizes with a parent's determination to do what is right for their child, in spite of what he or she faces in divorce.

At our law firm, we believe a child's interests are typically best served when both parents are active participants in the child's life after divorce. We represent both mothers and fathers who want to create parenting plans that protect their rights and at the same time serve to nurture their children.

Contact Us for a Consultation

It is only when we sit down together to discuss your unique circumstances that we can give legal advice tailored to your situation. Come in for an hour-long consultation. While we do charge for our consultations, clients end up quite satisfied with the time and money spent, even if they do not ultimately retain us for full-service representation. We will cover all topics relevant to your divorce, including child custody, child support, property division, spousal support (alimony), and attorney fees.

Contact us by e-mail, call 707-304-5242 or toll-free at 1-866-935-8020. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, and we are located one block from the Santa Rosa family law courthouse on Cleveland Avenue.
