Reviews

I had the best experience working with Susan for my divorce case and would recommend her over and over. When searching and asking around for the best divorce lawyer in Rhode Island, I kept finding Susan's name and for good reason. I don't usually write reviews but I respect Susan and her expertise so much: very smart, thoughtful, earnest, kind, and responsive. I always felt like she had time for me and was in my corner with persistence. In a challenging situation, I feel grateful that I got to work with her and I felt very understood throughout. I got the exact outcome I wanted with Susan's help. Thank you again!

I was very satisfied with Attorney Perkins. She understood my situation and was very patient, understanding and determined to get the best final outcome. She worked diligently on my case and never gave up or in. Attorney Perkins is highly recommend.

Susan helped me with my divorce. She was excellent at helping me think through critical decisions. I highly recommend her.

Attorney Susan Perkins was instrumental at achieving shared placement for my children at the conclusion of my divorce. This was an emotional and life-changing time for me, but Susan was extremely effective at helping me to understand the process, all the while being reassuring and patient with my questions and concerns. In trial, she was respectful to all parties but was effective in bringing the most poignant points to light, ultimately achieving our goal. She is a superb attorney, having the right combination of intelligence, compassion and expert knowledge of if the law to help me and my family move forward in the most positive direction. Thank you, Susan.

Susan was a beacon of light at a time when everything seemed so dark. It was important to me that I find an LGBTQ+ affirming lawyer to represent me, and her name kept surfacing as one of the best. She is professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and when appropriate - tenacious. Whenever I had a question or concern, she was only a text message away. There were multiple times I was ready to concede just to be “done with it”. Susan quelled my nerves and helped guide me throughout, reassuring me at every step. In the end, she was able to give me exactly what I wanted and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

Susan's friendly and warm nature was a huge comfort during a very stressful situation. Susan was always available whenever I had a question or concern. Even after hours she was only a text or phone call away always ready to help.

I was getting divorced and i wanted to work with a woman who might understand what I’m going. I liked that i could text because it made it easier to communicate. I ended up getting what I needed from the divorce and I’m able to start a new life

Getting divorce was the problem that I had and i did couples research I found this Law Firm! I called, spoke to Atty Susan who made me feel confident and see divorce as a normal and legitimate process. During the process she demonstrated her commitment from the beginning to the end. I fell better now, no more headache, divorced and increasingly confident in American Law! I strongly recommend this Law firm. Aderito Pereira

I can attest that she gets her jollys off when she gets the chance to degrade either a guy she's representing or a woman she doesn't even know. She is a waste of time, doesn't do her job at all. It becomes too much & then she blames you for being petty. If she doesn't agree with you she will interrogate you when she should be defending you. She has literally asked her recent client to kick me out of my own house because she doesn't like the dynamics of it all. She has put him in a no win situation & then has the balls to tell him its temporary. He will now lose ALL his kids because of Susans lack of intrest in her client and not properly investigating a situation. She has no problem being unethical, being a ghost unless she needs something or if shes afraid to look stupid infront of the court. She was hired to get a child back that he had stolen from him a year ago, his 2nd child recenyly gets stolen almost identical to his last one (she didn't care, didn't even know the child was supposed to be with him that week) & her ONE job was to get the 1st one back. She's allowed the other side to run the show & now he will lose all of his kids if I don't leave my house for 6 weeks or if I am seen around his kids, there doesn't even need to be proof of the accusations, she will just railroad you because she doesn't know you or agree with you. The audacity of her to think she has the right to kick me out of my own home or her client loses his kids immediately is shocking. This is not MY divorce yet I'm her blanket statement for solving all her made up issues for her client. DO NOT HIRE her if you are a man, or want to keep your kids. Her client & I are both filing complaints to the Bar association for lack of effort, not having ANYONE but her own best intrest in mind, for ghosting her client when he needed her help, her unethical approach to a solution that she failed to look into, not due to lack of evidence, due to her lack of caring for who she is representing. She put her client in the worst situation & then tells him its easy fix, just kick me out of my home & you can see your kids.....that is impossible to achieve, especially for 6 weeks. But now that it's ordered for me to be away from the kids I have the ex wife & her boyfriend are stalking me, videoing my property, following me to my business, trashing my name & business on Facebook.....and threating me with a gun. But she doesn't represent me so its not her issue. The question is what does she think kicking me out of MY house for 6 weeks is going to do for her client in regards to keeping his kids? It's MY house, without me his kids & her client have no house, with me he's not allowed to see his kids. What is she going to accomplish? When do the kids best intrest come into play? Her ego & her lack of understanding is justified all because she refuses to see the facts presented right to her. She will NOT defend a man even if the mother is flat out crazy. Response to your response: Susan you are right I have not been a client of yours but YES this review is just as fair as your assumptions about me & bias opinion. I don't care if you, the judge or God ordered me to not be around HIS kids or OUT of my house when they are here. That is not your job. I am NOT your client nor do ANY of you have the right to tell me where, when or who I can be around. But if I DONT comply YOUR client gets punished. Is that ethical? You put your client between a rock & a hard spot saying it's only temporary but failed to understand why. You lied to him trying to cover your a** when you said the kids have a problem with me. The Guardian ad liten verified that they DO NOT. Taking no responsability for YOUR lack of intrest in your clients wishes or the kids well being proved how much you DO NOT invest in his case. You just took his money & set him back 3 years. Your job was to get his kid back, you neglected & pushed aside his request for 5 months. Now his first born has no communication & the guardian ad liten, YOU & the court system created that. You failed all of them & used me as an excuse.

Not prepared, at all.

Susan's calm approach to keeping things amicable is inspiring, and she also has an awesome sense of fashion!

The work in the office with Miss Susan was great she was on point with everything she have done. And I will always go back to her for everything and anything I have going on.
