FIGHTING GENDER & PREGNANCY DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE

I am the proud founder of a feminist litigation firm dedicated to fighting gender and pregnancy discrimination in the workplace. I also represent victims in cases involving sexual assault, gender-based violence, and discrimination and abuse in health care settings.

I've been a trial attorney representing individuals against corporations since I graduated in 2006 from NYU Law.

I also co-founded Survivors Law Project alongside my best friend Carrie Goldberg, who is a trailblazing victims' rights attorney. Together, our law firms represent victims of sexual abuse in lawsuits against not ony individual offenders but also the institutions that protect and enable them.

I'm also a mom of two, an alto in the Cecilia Chorus of New York, and a black belt in kung fu. Of all my achivements, I'm most proud of my job as the tooth fairy!

"I have known Susan for two years now, introduced to her by a mutual colleague who also went to NYU Law with her. I know her to be extremely dedicated to her clients, her practice, and solidifying her reputation as one of the best landlord/tenant and employment litigators in the city. She is substantively sound on legal issues, courtroom procedure, and litigation strategy. Indeed, she proved quite helpful in providing advice to me in a lawsuit I filed against my own landlord that ended up settling for a very significant amount. I would recommend Susan to any client in a heartbeat. She’s simply that good."
