I first met Susan over 10 years ago when she guided me through my divorce, and I honestly don’t know how I would have managed without her. Since then, she has continued to support and advise me whenever I’ve needed help, and I can say with absolute confidence that she is the best lawyer I have ever worked with. Susan is brilliant at what she does. She knows the law inside out and has a gift for explaining things clearly so I always feel reassured and in control. What makes her stand out, though, is the way she combines strength and determination with genuine kindness and empathy. She understands how difficult family matters can be, and she always handles everything with sensitivity while still being a powerful advocate on my side. Having Susan in my corner gives me huge confidence. She takes the pressure off me completely, deals with everything calmly and professionally, and is always available when I need her — even at weekends. I’ve never once felt like I was facing things alone. I cannot recommend Susan highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is intelligent, compassionate, and utterly dedicated to her clients, then Susan is the lawyer you want on your side.

Suzie was amazing, helping with clarity, intelligence, and emotional support from the outset of our communications. In a highly confusing time for me and with much at stake for three young children she reassured me by detailing possible outcomes, and helped me navigate options where I felt lost and vulnerable. She has excellent emotional intelligence, and not only offered logical support, but provided real reassurance on a level a Mother needs when navigating a highly stressful situation with a combative partner. Thank you Suzie.

Of all the professionals I’ve encountered during my divorce, Susan Apthorp stands head and shoulders above the rest. By the time I reached her, the proceedings were in chaos. Hundreds of thousands of pounds had already been spent on both sides. Other law firms had only fuelled the fire—escalating every disagreement into a formal application, litigating every detail, with no regard for the long-term cost to the family or the children. I was in a financially vulnerable position, emotionally drained, and quickly running out of options. Susan changed everything. She brought calm, clarity, and genuine strategy. She immediately understood not just the legal complexities, but the emotional dynamics and what was at stake for the children. She took a holistic approach that no one else had. She didn’t just manage the conflict—she found a way through it. Susan is exceptionally bright, with decades of personal and professional experience behind her. She knows every player in the system—judges, barristers, solicitors—and she knows exactly how to navigate them. She’s fought the biggest battles and won. But more importantly, she knows when not to fight. She knows how to negotiate, how to settle, and how to get the best result without burning everything down. As a mother herself, she brings emotional intelligence and care to everything she does. In my case, she took a total mess and transformed it. I genuinely don’t know where my children and I would be without her.
