Heath Law Group, PC

We used Lilah for the second-​parent adoption of our daughter. Lilah was great during the whole process — facilitating all of the steps we had to go through. What could have been a difficult and lengthy process was actually quick, painless and even enjoyable. She was both thoughtful and professional. I would highly recommend Lilah to any gay or straight families out there who need to adopt their children.

I had the displeasure of really needing an attorney for family law. We decided to go to SF and get one. After consulting with the law firm on a free consultation. We decided to use the firm and our attorneys name was Lilah. Our case spanned over 11 months, at first we were skeptical and we thought we made a incorrect decision. We could not of been any more wrong about that. At our last big hearing our attorney dropped a bomb and laid out our side to a
judge that had never overseen the case. She systematically articulated the entire year to this judge (trust me there was a lot that had happened) the rulings overwhelming went in our favor. Lilah is a great attorney. Don’t look at the money. If you need help and you know your right. You can’t go wrong with this law firm.

Lilah Sutphen represented me during my complicated and emotionally challenging child custody case. My situation was essentially unheard of in the realm of typical custody dealings. I was impressed that Lilah’s priority was my child. Her honest and knowledgeable approach, in addition to the emotional support she provided during difficult court hearings and ongoing custody problems were well worth the cost. Lilah’s tenacity, knowledge, and excellent courtroom skills resulted in a very satisfactory legal resolution.
I wanted to find the best attorney in San Francisco for my situation and somehow I did. My prayers were answered. Lilah receives my highest recommendation. She leaves no stone unturned when preparing a case.

Yay for gay marriage, right? Well, not always. Now we have gay divorce. Sad that my marriage ended, but glad that it ended amicably. Wanting to do things right, with all the paperwork and requirements for an official divorce, I hired Lilah Sutphen at Heath Newton to represent me. She was super-​progressional and super-​knowledgeable.
Plus, she listened and crafted a marriage settlement document that met the needs of both me and my spouse, rather than insisting on a standard boilerplate document. (Of course there is a lot of weird standard boilerplate language required in an official California divorce, but the important stuff was customized to meet exactly what we needed.
I don’t wish divorce on anyone, but if you need to go through with it, Lilah and Heath Newton would be a great choice.
