When my divorce began, I consulted with a friend of mine who is a divorce attorney and he unequivocally said that Susannah was the best in town - he was not wrong. Susannah is the total package. She is an exceptionally smart and capable attorney as well as a skilled litigator in the courtroom. Every time we had a hearing, she was well prepared, knew the case throughly, and provided exceptional representation. She explains things well and does a fantastic job of keeping me informed. She worked hand in hand with me to reach the best end state we could in the divorce. She made recommendations but allowed me to provide the ultimate direction. She worked very efficiently to keep the costs manageable. Lastly, Susannah did a good job of managing expectations and providing counseling when it was needed, which is also part of the divorce attorney’s job. Overall, I give her my absolute highest recommendation. Furthermore, I know some of the other clients she has represented and they would all agree.

Susannah is an awesome family law attorney! She really cares about her clients and will fight for what is right. Extremely talented lawyer and just a good person. Her assistant Maggie is great and really keeps everything together so their firm can work hard for their clients.

I employed Susannah Colins for a social investigation. Below is how it went: -Susannah was late for my initial interview with her, our home visit and every witness interview on my side. Not 5 minutes, or 10 minutes, like 20 + every time. That’s how much respect she had for me, the people willing to vouch for me, and the fact that she had been entrusted with such a job for my children. -Before she left my home she told my children they should love their dad, because a step dad would not be their REAL dad, they only have one real dad; and she shared her story of being orphaned through a car accident and how much she would’ve liked to have her dad growing up. Showing that she is unable to separate her feelings and personal experience from her work as an IMPARTIAL judge of character for the well-being of children. -She collected information but did not investigate. My ex made whatever claims he wanted and it was added to the report without investigating. He claimed to over pay child support (two years later he still has paid none), that he was not given the kids’ SS numbers so he could make a savings account for the children directly (in the process of the divorce that information was available to him), that I was mentally unstable and unable to take care of my children because I had been in a mental health facility for a month (this never happened. It is a complete lie), among other lies. Lies that could have easily been disproven, which could have lead to a report informing the judge of his comfort in lying during a legal process. -The relationship between his witnesses and my children was never shared in the report. One of my ex’s witnesses had been around him and our children maybe 5 times for a couple of hours each time, in the entire 10 years we had children. This witness’ minimal exposure to my children and him as a parent was never even mentioned in the report. The second witness my ex had was a family friend that moved out of the state of Florida about 8 years before this investigation took place. This man has never even met our youngest child which was 6 years old at the time of the investigation. This witness’ minimal exposure to my children and him as a parent was not taken into account either. His third witness was my best friend. When I shared with my friend what Susannah wrote up for her interview, my friend told me that a lot of what she said was left out, that she felt bullied during the interview, and that a lot of what she shared Susannah would call hear say and disregard. -I mentioned to her his racially insensitive comments and my concern about this for my children. A few days later my ex emailed me telling me he was not racist. I only shared this with Susannah. -At some point in this investigation I had to consider stopping the divorce process because of financial constraints. I told her about it. Days later my ex emailed me telling me he heard about me considering stopping the divorce process and if I was having a hard time, I should've reached out to him for help. I only shared this with Susannah. -Susannah completely overstepped her realm of expertise as an attorney and investigator by labeling my children as having the mental health condition of parental alienation. She is not a mental health professional. -My ex who represented himself in court (pro se) kept submitting his pleadings to Susannah. Susannah is/has been a board member of the Missing Link of Jacksonville. An organization helping people complete pro se divorce paperwork. Impartiality? -Save yourself the 5 thousand+ it costs to get a social investigation done and collect your evidence for your attorney.

Sandy Millington took on my (2+ year ongoing) case just a couple of months before we were scheduled for trial. Not only is she an excellent attorney, her wit and compassion set her above the rest. I am involved in quite a complex, high-conflict family case and we are currently still awaiting the judge’s ruling. I feel confident in being represented by Ms. Millington, grateful to know that I will continue to be represented by her throughout the duration of my family case and hopeful that we will be able to put an end to the never ending litigation soon! 10/10 would recommend.
