Reviews & Testimonials
Hear From Our Clients
In the time that Sullivan Law and Associates represented me, I always felt secure in the fact that they know what they are doing, they are prompt, efficient, and their guidance was spot on.

When attorney Marie Braun decided to take my case after our initial interview and consultation, I was relieved. I did not know what to expect, as this was my first and hopefully only time navigating a divorce process. Attorney Braun's exceptional knowledge, compassion, and patience helped me find a sense of direction and hope, even in the most difficult moments.

Sullivan Law's customer service, professionalism, and attention to detail were key reasons I selected and worked with them for my representation. In addition to my attorney and paralegal, I especially enjoyed their unique client advocate as he supported both the attorney team and myself as the client through the entire experience.

While I did not end up following through with needing their services after being retained, their team was great to work with. Richard is a highly respected and knowledgeable attorney and Ashley did a great job helping communicate throughout the entire process. I appreciated their willingness to answer all of my questions as I was in uncharted waters. Thanks again to the Sullivan Law Team, Stacy included for assisting with processing our transaction.
