Susan E. Herzog Bio Emily S. Jonas Bio

SUSAN E. HERZOG Susan is a compassionate and insightful mediator, who worked as a couple's therapist and a lawyer before becoming a mediator. Her work as a couple's therapist was both gratifying and inspiring. She grew to believe that even if a marriage could not be saved, it did not have to end in a completely destructive manner. Susan's mediation training and legal background reinforced this notion and gave her the tools to help divorcing couples go their separate ways without complete financial and emotional devastation. Aside from her matrimonial law training, Susan is an experienced elder law attorney who served as the head of the Probate Department at Millman Law Firm in White Plains, New York for twenty-five years. She has handled both litigated and uncontested guardianship hearings and located lost heirs. Susan worked as a volunteer for My Sister’s Place in White Plains, representing victims of domestic violence in uncontested divorce cases. She currently serves as a volunteer mediator for CLUSTER, where she mediates custody and visitation cases and small claims court cases for low-income families.
