For more than 20 years, I have helped clients successfully resolve issues related to divorce and separation. My former career as a certified public accountant and tax specialist enhances my ability to handle family matters involving complex financial issues and small businesses. In fact, I am one of the few attorneys in the Portland area who specializes in helping small business owners. While my main objective is to help clients navigate an amicable and fair resolution of their matters at the least expense, I also have the experience, tools, skills, and tenacity to get my clients a good result through litigation.Experience2012 to present Susan M.
