Excellent lawyer

Susan is a very intelligent lawyer who professionally, aggressively and loyally represents her clients. I recommend her highly to anyone who needs a skilled lawyer for employment and labor law, product liability law and litigation.

Susan Swatski - Excellent Attorney

Susan provided legal advice on a workplace exit agreement. She was very responsive, knowledgeable, comforting and provided clear and concise analysis and recommendations based on her review of my situation and legal documents. I would highly recommend Susan to those seeking legal advice.

Legal advice in line with corporate culture

I have consulted Susan several times with employee related issues. She has always offered sound advice and guided me to an appropriate course of action that was in line with our corporate culture and core values. She also worked closely with me to update our employee handbook. As a small family ow...ned company, it was important for us to keep the relaxed tone of our handbook, but we also knew it was lacking in many aspects. Susan was able to update our handbook, keeping our casual approach and still ensure that we were up to date legally. I have also consulted her with personal legal situations and I received the same solid counsel. We are very lucky to have found her.

Susan Swatski - Excellent Litigator & Labor & Employment Attorney

I know Susan Swatski as an excellent litigator and employment counsel to both individuals and fortune 500 companies. She is a zealous advocate on behalf of all her clients in both litigation matters and as a conscientious and meticulous negotiator. I would strongly recommend Susan for any general ...litigation matter and especially on matters relating to her field of specialization, labor and employment law.
