Conflict Resolution
Susan specializes in assisting individuals and groups resolve their conflicts peacefully, without the necessity of court intervention, and, in the process, assists people in moving forward with their lives.
Collaborative Law
Collaborative Law is not a new idea, but it a realatively new area in the practice of law. Designed to fit with today's changing paradigm of what "winning" means, the collaborative law effort encorporates whatever healing modalities may be necesary for people to resolve their issues and move forward with more productive lives. This methodology allows all the parties to be both thankful and forgiving and is a most holistic approach to conflict resolution.
Family Mediation
Family Mediation is the process of attempting to find settlement between parties undergoing divorce procedures in North Carolina.
Estate Planning for gay and straight families
Susan offers assistance to both gay and straight families in the process of planning for their futures. From preparation of simple wills and powers of attorney, to adoptions and separation agreements, Susan can provide the excellent counsel in planning for unforseen events.
Friendly Law Suits and Resolutions
After 14 years of practice in district court, Susan has put away her litigation hat and no longer works in the district court arena, save those lawsuits that can be resolved in a friendly and honorable manner.
