Susan M. Weaver Co., LPA offers personalized solutions for a wide range of legal matters. My practice includes family law, contract disputes, personal injury, traffic, and other civil and criminal matters. I offer; free initial consultations; communicate with my clients in plain English; take the time to answer their questions, and promptly return all telephone calls. I represent individuals, families, and small businesses throughout Cuyahoga, Lorain, Medina, and the surrounding counties.

Primarily, I represent men and women who are going through a divorce. I also help people with custody issues in both juvenile court and domestic relations court, and am frequently appointed as the Guardian ad Litem representing children in complicated custody cases.

As a member of The Center for Principled Family Advocacy, I am committed to restoring dignity and reducing the pain for those directly involved in family disputes by focusing my attention on both the legal and emotional needs of my clients. Particularly in divorce cases, I make sure my clients maintain a sense of control throughout the entire process through laying out options, pointing out choices, and making recommendations along the way.

I believe an adversarial divorce does not really serve anyone. I approach each divorce proceeding as a family issue, and strive to enable the family to come through the process whole, even though the partners are separating. It is important to remember that after the divorce is over, the partners still have to communicate with each other. If there are children involved, there are going to be many occasions, such as birthdays, holidays, graduations, and weddings, when the parents will need to interact. My goal is to help the partners learn a more positive method of communicating so than once their divorce has been finalized, they can still work together harmoniously.
