Susan Ann Kassel

I've used Susan for custody and child support matters with my son, and all I can say is she GENUINELY CARES. If she feels you are being treated unjustly she goes to bat for you. Its truly like having a family member with a law degree. I will use her whenever I have to deal with these issues as there ...is just no one better.

It's never a pleasant thing to need the services of a divorce attorney. However, if that occasion should arise there is no one else better than Susan. I had a need for her services and I was not disappointed. Susan is a very knowledgeable professional and always respond to my emails and phone calls p...romptly. She was very good at helping me to understand the situation and guided me patiently through the lengthy course of my divorce. I have the utmost respect for Susan. Professionally she is extremely experienced, bright, and a winner. Personally she has first class ethical and moral standards, and is completely straight-forward with you whether you are going to like what you will be hearing or not. With regards to the office, they were incredibly friendly and professional, further contributing to an overall excellent experience given the circumstances. All the above is true, and I'll share some specific details from my case: First off, it was a very complicated case involving custody primarily, and also support. This should have been a very stressful period, and it was, but it was mitigated significantly by Susan's expertise. Her ability to resolve my current issue and also plan ahead relieved me quite a bit and removed a significant portion of the burden. There were numerous occasions where Susan would meet with me on the weekend, sometimes very early in the morning, or take a late night call when something had come up. When we did not connect, she was always very prompt with her response time. She is easy to work with and pleasant to talk to. Susan is someone that I would recommend to anyone in my life whether they, or someone they might know, is in need of the services of a family/matrimonial law attorney. I found it very difficult to choose a lawyer, as there is no 'Consumer Reports' for attorneys, and it's not easily reviewable online. That said, if you are looking for the best attorney in Suffolk County, look no further!

I consulted with and immediately hired Mrs. Kassel after being referred by a friend. Since the business my husband and I built was primarily a cash business, I was reluctant to proceed with my divorce fearing my children and I would suffer financially. I thought there would be no way to prove his a...pproximate $750,000 per year income and it would be probable that I would lose everything. After that first meeting I knew I was sitting with someone who would fight for what I worked hard for over the past few decades. I am so thankful that I retained Mrs. Kassel's services. My divorce is now final and my children and I will both receive the financial support we need to move on with our lives. We were able to keep the home they are growing up in and I was able to retain partial ownership in the business I helped to grow into what it is today. A seemingly hopeless situation has turned out to be what was best for my children and I have Susan Kassel to thank.

I first have to say that I had been represented by two prior attorneys both of whom had simply taken my money and left me nothing to show for it in my custody case. They kept telling me what they were doing for me but I found out they were lying. Susan on the other hand had gotten me temporary cust...ody and support for my children and myself within two months of hiring her. I cannot say enough about her.

I hired Susan to represent me in Family Court where my ex husband was seeking to hold me in contempt of court. She filed a cross petition for sole custody and for increased support. When we went to court she convinced the Referee that my husband was not telling the truth and had unresolved hostili...ty toward me and that he was using our daughter to hurt me. The Referee was so angry with him that my husband's attorney withdrew his petition. Then Susan was able to accomplish something I had been requesting for years: counseling. Well counseling worked. My ex husband has not been causing problems. One more thing, I remembered crying on Christmas eve due to the overwhelming stress. I called Susan and she actually called me back from her house a few minutes later. You could hear her family in the background. What a great person and lawyer.
