An objective review of Susan Atlas

Susan is unequivocally one of the very best attorneys that one could retain to handle the complexities of estate planning. I have unparalleled levels of confidence in Susan's ability however I am more impressed with the genuine care, concern and the consistent focus on representing the best interest ...of each client.

My favorite attorney

I met with Attorney Atlas last August after my father passed away with a substantial estate and a will that had it gone to probate without her intervention would still be there. Right from the start she went to work always making it clear that we did not want this to be adversarial but for the good o...f either 22 or 23 beneficiaries - I lost count. She got it accomplished working with the estates attorney to draw up complaint for instruction from the court,a side agreement between beneficiaries,a trust and also corporate bylaws. I believe this was through probate March or April of this year. I also had her do my personal estate planning in addition to establishing joint custody for my son of his son. Susan is not only a very skilled attorney but just a real person who makes you feel at ease and I truly believe when she takes you on as a client she truly has your back.

Avvo Rating

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.
