Mrs. Preketes, your conduct in this case is nothing short of vile. You epitomize everything that’s wrong with the legal system when attorneys abandon integrity for the sake of “winning,” no matter how morally bankrupt or outright dishonest their tactics may be. Your approach—weaponizing blatant lies,twisting facts, and projecting your client’s abusive behavior onto others—reveals the depths of your ethical failure. You have mastered the art of manipulation, but not in any way that deserves respect. Instead, it reeks of desperation, professional negligence, and a complete disregard for truth, justice, and human decency. Your legal filings were not just sloppy—they were intentionally misleading, riddled with knowingly false claims unsupported by a shred of evidence. That alone is grounds for sanctions and ethical review. You didn’t care about that, though. You cared about gaming the system, using your little Genesee County connections to twist the court into a one-sided charade where the truth didn’t matter, and where my voice was silenced. How fitting for someone who represents abusers with glee—people like your client, whose patterns of manipulation and harm you helped perpetuate, all while accusing me of the very behaviors your client embodies. Talk about projection at its finest. Let’s not pretend you were unaware of the harm you were causing. You knew exactly what you were doing when you misrepresented the painful years I spent freeing myself and my child from an abusive situation. You knew the emotional toll this fight would take, and you reveled in it. What kind of person tries to force a mother back into an environment she fought so hard to leave—an environment that caused so much suffering? And then to have the audacity to paint that decision as if it were in the best interests of the child? Give me a break. You didn’t care about my child’s well-being; you cared about winning, no matter how many lies you had to tell or how many rules you had to bend. Explain this to me: How do you file a motion for sole custody with no evidence, based on nothing but lies, and get a hearing when the prior order had already been deemed final? Did the referee’s decision mean nothing? Or was this just another example of you twisting the system to your advantage with the judge playing along? You didn’t stop there, though—you went so far as to shame me for ensuring my child had food to eat and proper healthcare, something his father repeatedly failed to provide. Feeding a child is fraud now, according to you? Taking care of a child’s medical needs is somehow “sitting at home and collecting” in your twisted view of the world? It’s beyond disgusting, and it’s clear you had no interest in understanding the reality of the situation. But here’s the thing, Mrs. Preketes: I know exactly who your client is. You, on the other hand, either have no clue or you don’t care. Either way, it’s despicable. You’ve aligned yourself with someone who will likely continue their pattern of harm, and you’ve enabled it. Whatever you gained from this case, I hope it was worth it because the harm you helped inflict won’t just disappear. It will leave scars, not just on my child and me, but on your conscience—if you even have one. May the impact of what you’ve done haunt you, as it should. Shame on you.

This woman was all talk! She happily takes your retainer then does nothing! She is not reliable or honest and does very little to move the case forward. Staff are not much better, they send out paper work full of typos and seem to lose things on a regular. Do yourself a favor and hire someone else. She did nothing to help my family. Like I said she is a good talker but doesn't have the ability to follow through. Dropped the ball at every turn. So frustrating and disappointing to see her in action. Down right Embarrassing!

She doesn’t take anything into retrospect. A man can own something WAY before a marriage and she feels the ex wife should get all of it. DO NOT hire her if you are a man!

Sue is by far the best attorney! She is very knowledgeable and does not take any BS! I am going thru a very high conflict custody battle with a narcissist. I wish I had known of Sue when I got divorced otherwise I would not be in the situation I currently am, I am forever thankful I found her. Shes like a bulldog lol

After hiring supposedly the best law office in Livingston county for my divorce and going through whole process as a devoted and loving father I just could not believe the outcome and after consulting with a few attorney's from Livingston county, them all saying it’s a fair outcome/deal for this county “this county is really hard on fathers” and having Judge Brennan (which I believe is disbarred and serving prison time now) it was a awful time! My ex had been arrested, I had a ppo put on her, tested positive for stuff and developed mental problems, etc…… I still could not believe it. One year went by and all my ex’s true colors started to show and my sons was suffering in many areas because of custody issues, I hired Susan, she looked at my case and could not believe it! Went back to court and she got everything that was fair and then some and then some more!!!!!! My worst mistake was not hiring her first! I have recommended her multiple times in the family law category and everyone has been extremely pleased with her performance!!

This attorney really helped me out when I was getting divorced and things were not looking to my favor. She guided me, stepped up to the other attorney and got me a fair divorce that otherwise I would have never been able to have due to my disability. She is really a stand up woman that I give many thanks to.

I was divorcing from an abusive marriage. Susan was by my side every step of the way at all hours of the night. She made me strong in a situation where I felt very weak. She’s very straight forward and explained everything every step of the way. Susan gave me my life back and I’ll always be in her debt for that.

Going in I had the impression that I wud have to sell my house which was 14yrs old, give up half of my pension, and pay Child support which none of the above happen. Susan went in and went to bat for me and got joint physical custody of my daughter so my marriage of 24 years was was granted in about 1 year and thanks to Susan preketes the divorce wasn't A complete loss for me.

Immediately, I saw a huge difference using this attorney over one used a few years back. The first attorney was more of a paper pusher, kinda like being represented by Eyore. When I first met with Susan and in subsequent times....she took the time to hear the "story" and was good with her feedback. During pre-court meetings with the other party....the bull-dog came out and it became clear that she was not one to mess with. She was also was wise in suggesting a very good mediation solution. Her assistant is very responsive via email. On "Motion Mondays"...the day can really drag out. I didn't realize that she had so many different cases on 1 day...so I was a bit frustrated waiting through the process. But once I understood the flow of the Genesee County Courts...all was fine. With everythig going on...I worried that I would be forgotten. However, she would seek me out at the right time, get updated by me on anything new, and then act with velocity in working it out with the other party. There are still a number of issues we need to work out, most should get addressed when we reconvene and adjust our long-term plan.
