I am a retired 72-year-old teacher, and I’ve lived long enough to confidently say, “Once in a generation”—that’s the only way to describe Attorney Susan Chestnut. I met Susan when I was trying to help a new friend, who was in a very vulnerable situation. My friend was entirely dependent on her husband, knew no one, and had limited command of the English language. Her husband had served her with divorce papers, leaving her with no assets and desperate for both an immigration and divorce lawyer. Most people think lawyers are only in it for the money, win or lose, they get paid—but not Susan Chestnut. Her dedication to helping people, regardless of their financial situation, is demonstrated by her involvement as a pro bono lawyer. We were incredibly fortunate to meet Susan through a pro bono Zoom meeting organized by Florida Rural Legal Services. From the moment we introduced ourselves, I realized Susan was a special kind of professional. Her posture, presence, and warmth instantly set her apart from the negative stereotypes often associated with lawyers. Right from the start, it was clear that she genuinely wanted to help. Based on the limited information we provided, Susan quickly scrutinized and assessed our situation with impressive insight. She explained complex legal terms and procedures in a way that was clear and easy for us to understand. She brought up legal considerations I hadn’t even thought of and responded swiftly and confidently to all of our questions. She patiently guided us through the necessary paperwork, providing links and detailed explanations along the way. Her depth of knowledge was matched only by her compassion. Susan took her time, never making us feel rushed, and throughout the entire meeting, she offered encouragement and understanding to both of us. She reassured my friend that she would be okay and gave me the confidence I needed to move forward. Susan is truly remarkable. Her strength, tenacity, and confidence are qualities that anyone would want on their side. After such an uplifting and informative consultation, it is clear to me that she would work diligently and vigorously for all of her clients, never giving up until the best possible outcome is achieved. She is more than just a lawyer—she is a force of nature and a true angel. Susan Chestnut is simply the best of the best!

Susan Chestnutt is a force to be reckoned with. Highly intelligent, savy, extremely well versed in her field, exudes confidence and frankly is intimidating - which is EXACTLY what you need when in court and FIGHTING for your child. She doesn't hold back, she doesn't pull punches. She is at the top of her field and that was evident at our first appointment. She not only got what we wanted but got it done much faster than we expected. She was a true blessing. If you need someone who can get the job done - it has to be Susan Chestnutt!!!!

Chestnut Law Firm had handle my case in a out standing manner. She and her loyal staff provideed up front legal services with respect n emotional support. I will select them again n recommend their services to others. Thank you so much

I can’t say enough good things about Susan Chesnutt and her entire team. Special thanks to Kristen for being there for us through the whole process with Susan. When I say they truly care, it’s an understatement. The entire team fought for me like family would. I started out with an attorney from a different law firm who didn’t do his job at all and left me in a bad spot . When I came to the Chesnutt law firm Susan had a big mess to deal with from my old attorney. Let me tell you, Susan is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to family law she cleaned it up fast. Also the opposing counsel had 30 years in the business and Susan ran circles around them. If you are looking for truly the best representation in family law on the Treasure coast it’s definitely The Chesnutt Lawfirm. I have an executed parenting plan in place, I’ve started seeing my son and I’ve started My reunification counseling. I thought this day would never come after a two year battle. Thank you Susan Chesnutt, and your whole law firm.

After reading all of these great reviews my family was looking forward to a consult with Susan! Unfortunately a very unprofessional experience with office staff and a zoom link invite and meeting confirmed only to be cancelled same morning left us with a bad experience and we requested full refund.

My daughter was in a foster home with DCF, and the Chestnutt Law Firm worked to help me reunite her back home to me.! I appreciate them so much and I’m thankful that she’s in my care because my kids are my best interest in my LIFE!!! I would highly recommend them and Susan, Michael and her staff went above and beyond. I would refer this law firm to anyone out there that need help with their kids to get reunited with their parents ..

Our grandchildren are in the foster care in dcf. I have MS and am in a wheelchair. My husband is dependent on insulin. We are unable to take care of a 4 yr old and an autistic 8 yr old. We contacted Susan Chesnutt Law Firm and they helped us to get visitation rights so we could see them. Because of Chesnutt Law Firm we were able to see my grandson score his first goal in soccer, my granddaughter kindergarten graduation, their school plays and birthday parties. We also got to see them every week and talk to them on the phone every week. We are so grateful to Chesnutt Law Firm. Without them we would have missed all of this. They are so kind and understanding. We highly recommend Chesnutt Law Firm. Susan was in the foster system and worked with dcf so she knows the system. She's a remarkable person. The whole staff was there when we needed them and made the whole process easy for us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Extremely grateful for the dedication and professionalism of Chestnutt Law Firm. Went above and beyond to give me the results I was hoping for. 10/10 recommend this amazing attorney and her hard working staff. Thank you again for never giving up and accomplishing this perfect outcome.

Excellent Attorney and Staff

It's just so comfortable. And wonderful people!!!

Divorce is a stressful and scary life event. Attorney Chesnutt, Attorney Shobe, Michael, Arieana, Autumn, Joanna, and Kristen were attentive and supportive. My questions were answered quickly and efficiently. This firm is blessed with caring and competent professionals.
