Principal

I hired Susana after a very bad experience with a previous lawyer. I give Susana the maximum recommendations as a lawyer because: Dedication: From day 1 Susana treated this case as if she was representing herself or representing a family member. I felt I had a real lawyer on my side. It is a pleas...ure to work with someone that enjoys what she does. I recall talking to Susana on case activities some Fridays after 8:00 PM, when most individuals would have been home well before that time, especially on Fridays. Intelligence: Susana was quickly able to analyze more than 5000 pages of documents and understand the facts of a complicated case as well as anybody. Legal Abilities: Susana litigated against partners in the opposing law firm with 25+ years of experience. In a motion to compel the opposing side to provide documents they did not want to provide, the opposing lawyer argued extensively on not providing an extremely important document. Susana won that argument with just one sentence to the judge. She gets to the point quickly without unnecessary mumbo jumbo. Integrity: Susana paid attention to all possible legal guidelines or rules applicable to this case and was always alert on following all of them. I felt that the opposing side did not follow rules and court orders. Susana always insisted that regardless of what the other side did, we were always going to follow all rules. Great lawyer.

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.
