Employee Benefits 30%

I specialize in appealing the denials of long-term and short-term disability under plans sponsored by employers (ERISA). If you were denied benefits under an employer sponsored plan, you should always have an attorney file the administrative appeal.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

A smart lady who is honest and understanding.

When I lost my job I was devastated. Finding Susan to consult with was like finding the calm within the storm. Her support never wavered - she was available and patient with all my questions. Her guidance and knowledgeable advice were instrumental to my situation.

Compassionate

Susan Sachs is not only a knowledgeable, versatile lawyer with years of experience, but she is a compassionate, empathetic person who is ruled by an innate sense of right and wrong. Susan was the first lawyer we saw when my daughter made it clear that she didn't want or need a lawyer. It was Susan's... personalized care that soothed her emotions and let logic rule. She facilitated the legal steps my daughter needed to take and guided her in her endeavors to find a good divorce attorney. We are forever grateful for her extra-special caring mixed with legal expertise that enabled my daughter to face existing problems and prepare for the future.

Competent, compassionate lawyer

I have used Susan Sachs as my 501(c)(3) lawyer for three years and I highly recommend her. I have also referred my friends who needed a personal injury lawyer and saw good results. Susan always returns my calls promptly and if she does not know an answer right then, she has found the answer and got...ten back to me within a day. I have only positive things to say about Susan's skills as a lawyer.

Employee benefits/ workplace harassment

I work for a very large pharmaceutical company. I was forced to go on disability and was subsequently sued by this company for a mistake that they made. Susan was recommended by a friend. She went to bat for me and was relentless and left no stone un-turned. She did an incredible job at a time in my... life when I was very vulnerable. I recommend this lawyer highly. She is tenacious and unafraid- and will fight for you. I am very grateful for her help.

Neighbor Harassment

Susan Sachs came to us highly recommended by another lawyer. Susan not only met with us but she was professional, compassionate, understanding, and very thorough in exploring the options for our case. Susan took the time to explain everything in detail so that we could fully understand what was goi...ng to take place. She really sunk her teeth into our Harassment suit and found additional cases to support the few laws that actually cover what we had been enduring. Susan gave us peace of mind for the first time in three plus years. She is prompt to respond to any questions or concerns we had, and she never failed to come through higher than our expectations. Susan is a most gifted lawyer in the way that our case was handled, and a remarkable person in the way she treated us. If you need someone of this caliper, Susan Sachs is definitely a great asset for your legal needs. My most profound "Thanks", once again.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
