Biography

Susanne M. Sternberg is an experienced, aggressive Phoenix family law attorney in practice for over a decade. Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, she earned her Juris Doctor from Arizona State University in 1997, where she graduated at the very top of her class. She credits her parents for helping her excel academically and instilling her core values, including an unwavering work ethic and strong sense of integrity. Possessing life experience (she has gone through a divorce herself) as well as legal experience, she uses not only her intelligence but also her intuitiveness and innate abilities to the advantage of her clients.

In her solo practice, Susanne Sternberg's areas of expertise include divorce, child custody, child support, parenting time, and paternity. She also offers individual legal services, such as document review and preparation, in the interest of helping clients keep legal costs down through limited scope representation.

Equally comfortable drafting motions, negotiating settlements, and advocating in the courtroom, Susanne Sternberg focuses first on listening to her clients and determining their objectives, and then tailoring her representation to achieve those goals. She believes it is her responsibility to keep clients informed and involved in all stages of legal proceedings, and makes sure her clients understand the law and how it applies to their case. She has built a thriving family law practice based on referrals from satisfied clients, who often tell her they appreciate that she truly cares about them and their needs.
