Wonderful Experience!

I chose this firm based upon posted reviews on Google and Avvo. I am very happy that I did. I was seeking assistance regarding documentation associated with WBE certification. I worked with Susan G. Parker and Jacqueline Johansen. Both were professional, responsive (in a timely manner) to all of m...y questions, and provided me with the quality documents I required. I already have referred this firm to colleagues.

Susan is knowledgeable and has your back!

Susan helped me with my estate planning initially. She guided me through an arduous process seamlessly. She is extremely knowledgeable. While I was in her office, I notice a business start up book she authored. Since our initial meeting, I have worked with Susan on starting and now running my CBD bus...iness, Ergo Hemp Co. CBD is a new market and the laws regarding the industry are intricate. Susan made everything clear! I know she is looking out for me and that is what is most needed when it comes to having a lawyer on your side. I HIGHLY recommend Susan!

A lawyer who makes you feel comfortable & taken care of

Susan helped my grandfather with his will & estate. We had several meetings with three generations of our family at the table, each time Susan answered all of our questions, provided a view on pros and cons and drafted several options so our family could confidently make a decision. She was prompt in... her communication, avoided jargon and was attentive to detail. Shortly after, I looked to Susan for advice on a new business venture; she was equally as helpful with those matters. I would highly recommend her!

Small Business

Susan has been an unbelievable help to me. I recently began a small business, and in the process, I researched and contacted many attorneys, with little success. When I contacted Susan, she emailed me back almost immediately, we then spoke on the phone, and met later that week. My initial meeting wit...h her was more informative and helpful than I ever expected. She explained things in simple terms for me, was clear and fair about costs, and was very supportive. She helped me to avoid pitfalls in the complicated process of a small business startup. Susan has continued to be a support, a friend, and an integral part of my business. She checks in with me, follows up with any questions and concerns I might have, and takes a proactive approach in the continued development of my project. I really appreciate all she has done, and look forward to a continued relationship with her. I would highly recommend contacting Susan with any and all small business questions or needs. She is professional, but able to explain the process clearly, she is fair in her costs, she is knowledgeable and an excellent navigator of the complications of small business law, and she is warm, feeling much more like a partner in my business, rather than merely my attorney.

Look nowhere else. Susan is wonderful

My experience with Susan was perhaps the best experience I've had with any lawyer to date. She's knowledgeable, accommodating, and listens to what her client needs. I reviewed my documents with her regarding my home business to determine how I was to draft up a contract that would remove a shareholde...r who was leaving my company. Susan worked with me to understand my needs and provided me what I feel was a fair and honest contract for negotiations. Her staff is lovely to deal with, I had a great experience with anyone that I had to work with. Her location is convenient and easy to get to, which made stopping off after work or early morning to drop off paperwork and easy chore. Her prices are great, and I feel that I received quality service for the value. I highly recommend her to anyone. As a small business women owned she's a wonderful representation of professional women. She has integrity and I found her so enjoyable to work with. I will certainly be retaining her for my future corporate business issues in the future. If you are looking for a quality lawyer who you can trust and respect, I wouldn't look anywhere else. She's the woman you want for the job!

Estate planning lawyer | Apr 06

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I recently referred a long-time client to Susan, whom I met many years ago at a social occasion. I did not know of her legal background and expertise at that time. However, I ascertained to my delight that she is a well respected---- estate planning expert- just what I was looking for. As a side matter, I asked her a question about estate taxation, to which she gave me the specific answer that I was looking for. It was only then that she disclosed that she had a Masters' degree in taxation, a very important component of estate administration, and that she had worked for a well-known Wall Street law firm. Needless to say, the client and I are extremely impressed with Susan's work in all of its complicated components. Edwin S. Shapiro (Harvard Law School, 1955)"
