Thank you so much Ms. Kassel!

I retained Susan a year ago for a custody of my son. One of the main reason's I decided to retainer her for my case was that she was the only one to give me her personal cell phone number so I could contact her with any questions I had and that was even before I had retained her! I met with several ...other attorneys that tried to rush me out of their office and then that they wouldn't' be able to answer any more questions for me until I retained them. After that I texted Ms. Kassel and informed her I wanted to retain her services. Ms. Kassel's whole office was so nice and helpful to me. I remember texting Ms. Kassel several times through out the process of my custody case and I always got a response from with in 15 minutes. I can't help but wish that more attorney's out there were like her and her staff. They were a lifesaver to me! She never stopped fighting for me and because of that after a 6 months of court dates I was loosing hope, but she was the one that told me to keep going. We finally had a trial and after that I was awarded full custody of my son! I can't thank her enough for all her encouragement and hard work. Thank you so much again Ms. Kassel!

Excellent Attorney

My husband and I hired Susan Kassel to obtain custody of our grandson. She is absolutely wonderful. She answered all of our questions and concerns. Susan is professional and an attorney who cares about people. Susan prepared and filed the documents for us to obtain Custody and completed our case ...in a very short period of time. We now have custody of our grandson. I highly recommend Susan Kassel. She is an excellent attorney!

Fighter for what is fair!

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.

Most Professional Representation in my Contentious Divorce

I hired Attorney Susan Kassel to represent me in what I thought would be an easy divorce. After 7 years being married to a psycho, in an abusive marriage, no children, and a husband who refused to work, or so I thought, I filed for Divorce. My ex claimed that he was disabled due to his diabetes and... could not work, His attorney filed for alimony for his client, believing that he was not working. I was so distraught! But, Attorney Kassel took control of my case and kept me informed and calm. The first thing she did, after filing, was to hire a private detective to follow him. The private detective filmed him working in construction replacing the roof of a house. He also filmed him going in and out of a motel on several days with a woman who turned out to be his cousin's wife. Attorney Kassel knows every angle of the law and is always very prepared and ready to fight for you in court. When she presented all the videos, and the private detective as witness, to court, my ex-husband's attorney was mortified and retracted the request for alimony and gave up contesting the divorce. The judge granted the divorce with no alimony. Not only is she a gifted attorney, but she can read people very well. She saw through the other attorney's plan and blew holes in every argument. In addition, she was able to have the judge issue a restraining order for my ex-husband to stay away from me. Susan will always have your back, and she knows the law and professionally litigates on your behalf. She helped me put the pieces of my life back together again by helping me get my divorce from a borderline psycho, and have the judge order him to stay away. I HIGHLY recommend that you hire Susan, No divorce is friendly, and when it turns ugly you want to be the one to have Susan Kassel representing you in court.

Uncontested Divorce

I was scared about filing for divorce from my husband after only 5 years of marriage. I heard nothing but horror stories from people about how expensive and how they got screwed by their attorney's. I finally got the nerve to make appointments with a couple of attorneys and out of all of them she w...as the only one that made me feel comfortable and didn't try to pressure me into anything. I finally decided to more fowarded with my life and retained her services 2 months later for divorce. She helped me so much through the worst time of my life by just answering my questions, being upfront and honest with me and walking me through the whole process. I can't thank her enough for everything she did for me.
