Waste of money

I represented myself for 2 years better than she ever could. The night before a hearing, I called her and asked if I needed to bring anything and her response was: we have a hearing tomorrow?

So satisfied

I came to Susan about a year ago. I was fighting a serious charge so naturally I was very concerned and worried about everything. My worries were baseless because Susan was there for me through everything. She made me feel confident and supported me every step of the way. She even came to my house fo...r my probation meetings when she didn’t have to. In the end she was able to secure a good deal for me and without her I wouldn’t be the free man that I am today. I am happy that I hired Susan and I would suggest if you need a great lawyer to get the job done you would chose her to represent you !

Divorce - Someone to Trust

Hired for a divorce case. The best lawyer out there, Susan is the very responsive, understanding, and thorough in all aspects of your case. In a very difficult case Susan came through for me and my family, the kids were the focus as they should be. Any concerns or questions are explained as well a...s advice and options. She'd be a bulldog when she needed to be as well as caring and understanding. Very professional and treats you like you are her #1 priority, an amazing person. I would highly recommend Susan to address any situation. I will absolutely hire her for any future needs.

Sorry I hired her...

From the start, Susan Perkins wanted me to and take a plea. I wouldn't. I was not guilty of DUI. My tox report showed that to be so. She "negotiated" a sentence with the DA, meant for high or very high rate of recidivism. And told me to "hurry up" while I was in a cell for the 1st time in my life, ...at 60 years old, a school teacher for 29 years and only a parking ticket to my name! Had she done even ONE of the 8 items I listed in writing for her to do in my defense, I would not have been found guilty. Like, getting the EYE WITNESS to the trial, and so much more... She came to the filthy pig sty, jail, she sent me to one time. She had the audacity to say to me, "I told you to take a plea!!!" Do NOT hire Sue Perkins!! You'll be as sorry as I am right now, almost two years later, still on probation, still on a breathalyzer, finished "alcohol class" and paid thousands in fines. And, i STILL dont have my license back! MA law says one year. She "negotiated 1 1/2 years for me. So, she is horrible at defense, horrible at negotiations, and frankly, a horrible person, too!

Excellent Attorney!!!!

I was in the middle of a messy divorce and had let two attorneys go when I was referred to Susan. She jumped in mid-stream and was phenomenal. She is extremely responsive- always returning phone calls and emails. She is professional, competent and caring. Susan knows how to effectively fight for... her client's rights while identifying areas of compromise toward settlement. I had a great experience and highly recommend her.

  • 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.
