Susan Dennehy is not a cookie cutter lawyer. She is a rare find. Susan has a proven track record of success in the courtroom and out of the courtroom. She will aggressively negotiate your case and advise you how to reach the best possible settlement. Susan is dedicated to delivering for her cli...ents, expertly navigating difficult and challenging circumstances. She is passionate about protecting and achieving justice. Susan’s priority is to develop the strongest possible case. Susan is committed to an innovative and non-conventional approach to her clients’ disputes. Susan took on my complex situation and was successful in negotiating a fair settlement. The case took an extraordinary amount of time with lots of opposition but she was determined. Susan is authentic, compassionate and listens exceptionally well. Her expert legal guidance made all the difference. I recommend her without reservation.

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.
