Here at The Chesnutt Law Firm, we strive to help our clients achieve the legal results they seek and provide professional legal assistance in various family law and child welfare cases. One of the main priorities at our family law firm is to ensure that every client receives the personal attention that their case deserves. For us, it’s about ensuring you have someone you can trust to work for your best interests.
Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that a child’s welfare is the most critical consideration in any family law case. Susan understands that a child’s well-being is the cornerstone of a healthy, successful future, and she is fully dedicated to protecting that foundation. She believes every child deserves a safe, stable, and nurturing environment, away from the conflicts that legal disputes often bring. With a focus on advocating for the child’s best interests, Susan ensures their voices are heard, and their needs are prioritized while guiding families toward solutions that promote long-term stability and peace.
Strong client advocacy is essential in family law, as it has high emotional and financial stakes. Effective advocacy ensures that each client’s rights, needs, and concerns are fully represented, safeguarding fair outcomes in divorce, custody, and support cases. Our family law attorneys provide legal guidance and act as compassionate allies, helping clients confidently navigate complex processes. We negotiate effectively, aiming to minimize conflict while prioritizing the best interests of any children involved. By championing our client’s interests, we provide stability and security, positively impacting families during challenging transitions.
A fair and equitable divorce settlement fosters a stable future for both parties post-divorce. Everyone can move forward without undue financial strain or resentment when assets, debts, and responsibilities are divided fairly. Equitable settlements consider each spouse’s needs and contributions, including non-financial contributions, ensuring that both partners and children are better supported during the transition. This balanced approach reduces conflict, encourages cooperation, and sets the stage for healthier relationships in the future. Ultimately, a fair settlement promotes well-being, providing the stability needed to rebuild and thrive independently after divorce.

Tiffany Graves2024-09-18 Susan Chestnutt is a force to be reckoned with. Highly intelligent, savy, extremely well versed in her field, exudes confidence and frankly is intimidating - which is EXACTLY what you need when in court and FIGHTING for your child. She doesn't hold back, she doesn't pull punches. She is at the top of her field and that was evident at our first appointment. She not only got what we wanted but got it done much faster than we expected. She was a true blessing. If you need someone who can get the job done - it has to be Susan Chestnutt!!!! rick cruze2024-09-12 Chestnut Law Firm had handle my case in a out standing manner.

Thank you so much Jordan Kane2024-09-11 I can’t say enough good things about Susan Chesnutt and her entire team. Special thanks to Kristen for being there for us through the whole process with Susan. When I say they truly care, it’s an understatement. The entire team fought for me like family would. I started out with an attorney from a different law firm who didn’t do his job at all and left me in a bad spot . When I came to the Chesnutt law firm Susan had a big mess to deal with from my old attorney. Let me tell you, Susan is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to family law she cleaned it up fast. Also the opposing counsel had 30 years in the business and Susan ran circles around them. If you are looking for truly the best representation in family law on the Treasure coast it’s definitely The Chesnutt Lawfirm. I have an executed parenting plan in place, I’ve started seeing my son and I’ve started My reunification counseling. I thought this day would never come after a two year battle. Thank you Susan Chesnutt, and your whole law firm. Carla Garrett2024-07-01 After reading all of these great reviews my family was looking forward to a consult with Susan! Unfortunately a very unprofessional experience with office staff and a zoom link invite and meeting confirmed only to be cancelled same morning left us with a bad experience and we requested full refund. One Chop Baby2024-06-27 My daughter was in a foster home with DCF, and the Chestnutt Law Firm worked to help me reunite her back home to me.! I appreciate them so much and I’m thankful that she’s in my care because my kids are my best interest in my LIFE!!! I would highly recommend them and Susan, Michael and her staff went above and beyond. I would refer this law firm to anyone out there that need help with their kids to get reunited with their parents .. Susan Hendricks2024-06-19 Our grandchildren are in the foster care in dcf. I have MS and am in a wheelchair. My husband is dependent on insulin. We are unable to take care of a 4 yr old and an autistic 8 yr old. We contacted Susan Chesnutt Law Firm and they helped us to get visitation rights so we could see them. Because of Chesnutt Law Firm we were able to see my grandson score his first goal in soccer, my granddaughter kindergarten graduation, their school plays and birthday parties. We also got to see them every week and talk to them on the phone every week. We are so grateful to Chesnutt Law Firm. Without them we would have missed all of this. They are so kind and understanding. We highly recommend Chesnutt Law Firm. Susan was in the foster system and worked with dcf so she knows the system. She's a remarkable person. The whole staff was there when we needed them and made the whole process easy for us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
