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!

All talk, absolutely no action.

Susan was completely unprofessional, she was rude, did not no anything about my case in front of the judge, spent 90% of her time on her cell phone, charged me a lot of money and I did all the work, and she clearly did not make herself familiar with my case, made a lot of promises she did not keep. S...usan made a very difficult situation 100 times worse. Lucklally being dilagent I was able to (with a fight) get some money back that she continuously made "mistakes" on my billing. Beware!

Kelly, I am so sorry you feel this way, however you are not being truthful nor are you stating what really happened. When I first met with you, you had already gone to court and signed an agreement in front of the judge (and subsequently a quit claim deed) signing over the marital home to your ex. The Court ordered you to be out of the home by 2/1/15. I told you I was not God and most likely couldn't get the court to reverse that order. You said you understood but wanted to try. I made Every effort to keep you in that Home, In which the mortgage hasn't been paid for almost 2 years. I was able to keep you In the home until April 2016, over a year since the court ordered you out. I charged you my standard rate and do admit I made a mistake on your billing by charging you for a phone call twice. I corrected that once you brought it to my attention as well as met with you in the office for an hour without charging you. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors in family court.

A difficult situation

I went to susan with a legal case i needed cousaling on, A little nervous on the possible end result. She listened intevively and asked questions to be clear on things, She told me she would get the police report and talk to the people invovled,which she did within 2 or three days.Susan then sent me... paperwork to let me know when the case was and where. I think she sent the paperwork the same day because i received the paperwork fast. When she could not reach me by phone she emailed me to keep me abreast of the situation. We talked about the payment arrangements and worked out and agreement that would work for both of us. I feel like her price was fair and her service was excellent. She is my new family lawyer. She also didn't sugar coat my situation she was honest but realistic, and thats what i needed to navigate the court system. Superb.
