Broward County Divorce Lawyer

Anyone contemplating divorce faces an uncertain future. At the law offices of Susan Brown, I am here to help you face these uncertainties head on and prepare you for a successful life post-divorce or post break up of a relationship that resulted in children

I have been a lawyer in the state of Florida since 1984. I also graduated from University of Miami Law school in 1984. I am originally from New York and moved to Florida during my college years.

I have been designated as a family law expert in Florida since 1998. The title of board-certified specialist in family law is your proof that I am ready to handle the most complex family law challenges. It means I am one of the select few attorneys who have met the rigorous certification requirements established by the Florida Bar Board of Legal Specialization and Education.

My board certification and almost 35 years’ experience as a lawyer can be a tremendous asset as we work together to get the results you need.

While some lawyers limit their client to men or women, I represent both men and woman. Representing both men and woman allows me to view all of my cases from both sides and perspectives.

I handle many types of family law cases from the high net worth cases to less complicated cases.

Every divorce, paternity and other family law case is different. My goal is to help you get through the process of going through the difficult process presented in divorce, paternity modification and other types of family law case.

I don’t use a cookie cutter approach in my practice. I find it important to base the filings and court proceedings on each client’s unique needs.

I work hard for my clients. I am available by phone and email and return calls and respond to emails during the weekend and after hours.

My clients are from all over Broward County, including: Plantation, Fort Lauderdale, Weston, Southwest Ranches, Deerfield Beach, Pembroke Pines, Cooper City, Coral Springs, Parkland, Southwest Ranches and Davie. While I focus my practice in Broward County, I will sometimes accept cases in “south county” in Palm Beach or Miami Dade County.

I have substantial experience in all types of family law cases including drafting and reviewing prenuptial and post marital agreements, dissolution of marriage( divorce) cases, post judgment modification of alimony, child support cases, child custody and parenting plans, paternity cases, restraining orders (civil domestic violence cases)

I have handled multiple divorces cases that involve complicated assets including marital businesses. I also have substantial experience in cases that involve federal. state and local government and private retirement plans. I have also handled many cases that involve valuation and distribution of stock options.

During my years of practice, I have handled multiple cases that involve contested “custody “issues including, relocation and establishment of timesharing and parenting plans. I have handled multiple appeals in family law cases. I have handled many cases that involve difficult and controlling opposing parties. I have also handled multiple cases that involve parents who have substance abuse and mental health problems. I have also handled cases where a parent has absconded with a child that involve the Hague Convention and the Uniform Child Custody Enforcement Act.

I will honestly and candidly asses your case. I will tell you what to expect and what I anticipate that a court will do based on your unique facts. I will try to be straight forward and brutally honest as to the relief you seek. Unlike lawyers I have worked against, I will not tell you what you want to hear. By focusing on providing honest answers, candid advice and being an aggressive advocate, my goal is to help you and your family achieve your goals as cost-efficiently as possible.
