Firm Overview
The law firm of Susan Parnell Wilson was founded in 1991 and is a law firm concentrating in family related cases. Although Susan Wilson is licensed in Illinois and Missouri, the firm primarily practices in the Illinois county of St. Clair. The firm staffs two full-time paralegals and various part-time receptionists/paralegals. The cases handled most frequently include divorce, child custody, support issues, domestic violence, modification of divorce and custody decrees, paternity, and grandparent rights and visitation. Additional areas of practice in which the attorney and paralegals are experienced include misdemeanors, estates, wills and powers of attorney. These additional areas of practice naturally flow from the family-related areas and are often necessary to complete problems which arise during or after completion of the family matters.
Our attorney possesses high academic credentials, maintains strong community ties, is committed to the pursuit of excellence, communicates effectively, and demonstrates the strictest personal and professional ethics as well as the utmost concern for our clients. Attorney Wilson, who has 16 years experience in family law, is primarily a litigator spending the majority of her day in hearings. Appointments with new clients are usually scheduled prior to 9:00 a.m. and between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. in order to accommodate the court schedule. Attorney Wilson is also a licensed and experienced mediator and arbitrator and a certified child representative. She has been mediating family-related issues since 1993. As an arbitrator for St. Clair County Arbitration programs, she arbitrates several cases each year acting as an arbitrator judge in personal injury and property damage cases.
The firm, although all female, has a high concentration of male clients and has had success in gaining custody for fathers on numerous occasions. The firm excels in catering to a wide range of emotionally-charged issues and helping clients cope while going through their crises as well as helping them develop skills to face "life after lawsuit."
The firm brings with it a wide range of past experience in that Susan Parnell Wilson taught high school English/French for 10 years prior to attending law school. Attorney Wilson's paralegals have formal training, as well as several years' experience, in diverse areas including personal injury.
