Sue is a senior paralegal supervisor who has lived in the Tampa Bay area since 1980 and has worked in the legal field since 1980. Sue previously worked as a legal assistant and paralegal at Holland & Knight and Hill Ward Henderson, two large Tampa-based law firms. She has focused on adoption since 1993 and has been Jeanne’s “right hand” since the inception of the firm, with an unsurpassable dedication to her career and the clients we serve. Sue is primarily responsible for termination of parental rights proceedings, contested matters, and training law firm and agency personnel. Sue has been heavily involved in some of the most significant adoption cases in Florida and has participated in over a thousand adoptions. She is married, has an adult son and daughter, and is enjoying her five grandchildren.
Just recently, Sue secured ICPC approval for a Florida to Missouri adoption in thirty minutes. That kind of turnaround isn’t just impressive. It’s nearly unheard of. And it’s exactly why having the right legal team behind your adoption matters so much. In situations where timing, coordination, and precision are critical, her experience makes all the difference. Sue has poured her heart into adoption law since 1993. She’s helped finalize more than two thousand adoptions and has stood at the center of some of the most pivotal adoption cases in Florida. She’s calm under pressure, relentless with paperwork, and a true advocate for the families she serves.
