Incredibly helpful and responsive!

Connecting was pretty easy and first meeting was scheduled in a few days. Susan requested and reviewed materials in advance to expedite process. In person interview was terrific and surprisingly supportive as I was encountering this labor issue and had no clue about what to do. She provided solid adv...ice, perspective about typical experiences and outcomes and was instrumental in negotiating an agreement that was comfortable for all concerned. Outstanding!

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.

Contract review

Susan was very thorough and helpful. She went over every detail of the contract with my husband and I, and highlighted the most important parts, making it easy for me to review with the employer. She was very kind and easy to talk to. We would definitely request her services again if we find the need... in the future.

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.

Common Sense Attorney

We have worked with Susan Swatski on two occasions. One was a fraud litigation case where her firm assigned her to the case after the initial attorney was no longer with the firm. She worked very efficiently at being up to speed on the facts of our case and helped our firm reach a favorable result ...in a relatively short period of time. This included filing briefs with the Court which minimized our exposure and improved our negotiating position. She assisted in helping our own expert witness stay on track. She prepared the key players in our firm for deposition. The second occasion was a brief HR issue where she hired to assist my firm in preparing a separation agreement with an employee. She was responsive and very helpful in gaining a positive resolution to that situation as well.
