Outstanding, high-level advice provided in an efficient way

I contacted and consulted with Susanne following my departure after 10 years at a large and well-resourced financial service firm. The specific issue related to a reasonably complex non-solicit agreement I had in place and being interpreted differently by different parties. Susanne reviewed the ...document and made specific recommendations to me for how to handle some final but delicate details. Her advice brought all issues to a quick and satisfactory conclusion. I've worked with employment lawyers during my career both as an employer and employee. From a skill and advocacy standpoint, Susanne is top shelf.

Very helpful on my non-compete

Susanne helped explain the details and limits of my non-compete and advised on strategies to make the most of my situation. She also had insight on what I could do ... steps I hadn't thought of that could be very beneficial. Definitely recommend to anyone recently let go with a non-compete agreemen...t.

Phenomenal attorney

Suzanne Hafer is a phenomenal attorney who successfully represented me in a major employment dispute with my employer. From our first meeting to the final settlement, Suzanne consistently showed an amazing combination of legal expertise, tenacity, negotiating skill, toughness, strategic judgement, ef...ficiency, hard work, compassion, and professionalism. She listens carefully, gives great legal advice, is an outstanding advocate and I constantly felt fortunate to have her in my corner. She was excellent at explaining legal concepts and strategy so I could understand the process. Her availability is amazing (even outside typical work hours) and she was great at keeping me up to date as soon as new developments evolved. Her competence, empathy, calmness, patience, support, and sense of humor were a constant source of hope and confidence that enabled me to persist through an otherwise stressful and difficult time. Ultimately Suzanne secured an excellent settlement for me, and I feel incredibly lucky that my attorney referred me to her. I whole heartedly recommend Suzanne to anyone seeking a superlative attorney and advocate.

Great Results/Expert

Susanne Bines Hafer is a very thorough and competent professional who had my best interest in mind when going through an employment/labor issue. Her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support during the negotiation process. She went above and beyond to deliver what was asked and then some.... I recommend Susanne without reservation.
