Posted by Natalia | March 22, 2023 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Bad experience

I contacted the office of Ms. Susan Clark on 3/21/23 and received a call back from Ms. Maria Franceschini today 3/22/23. Ms. Franceschini was not interested in hearing much of my case, she was rude and not an ounce of empathy. She literally got off the phone within 4 minutes. When you reach out to an... attorney, you would want to receive at least the initial consultation and evaluation of the case (even if it not free of charge).

Beyond Exceptional

The long story would dilute the title. Ms. Clark will make everyone's life better.

Best defense attorney around

Over the past few years I have retained Susan Schroeder Clark a couple of times for various incidents . Susan has the upmost knowledge of the law and was able to answer any question or concern I had immediately . Her professionalism was unsurpassed from the minute I first walked through her door .Sh...e made me feel very comfortable with her approach to discussing the facts from day one all the way through to the final outcome which I would have never had the same result if I had represented myself. For Susan's knowledge and extensive experience working on both sides of the judicial system her fees are extremely reasonable for all the work that went into representing my families situations. We have had nothing but positive results in a couple of complicated cases. Thankyou once again Susan for all of your hard work and dedication to our situations , we truly feel blessed to have you in our corner.

Great lawyer !

Susan helped me so much, she was very patient with me and spent time with me to make sure I understood all that was going on with my case and my options. Susan was excellent, my case went from a felony to a disorderly persons offense with very low fines and kept a lot off my record! Thank you so much... Susan I would highly recommend Susan to anyone having legal issues she fights for you hard and it was very comforting being by her side Thanks again Susan

Susan Schroeder Clark, simply the BEST!!!

Susan Clark is the best attorney I have had the pleasure to work with in a court of law . As a retired NYPD Detective with 20 years of experience and serving as a Ballistics Expert for well over 14 of those years I have worked directly with hundreds of Attorneys, personally testifying over 925 d...ocumented times. I have spent countless hours with attorneys in and out of courts rooms. Susan Clark is truly outstanding, highly respected by her peers, adversaries and Judges through out New Jersey. Her prep work, court room demeanor, and knowledge of the law is second to no one. If you need representation I strongly recommend Susan Clark of Freehold NJ

  • 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.
