Lucky to have found Susan Kassel as my Attorney

Amazing attorney. She was incredibly kind, professional, and responsive throughout the entire process. I always felt that my questions were taken seriously and that I was kept informed. Again she took the time to explain things clearly and make sure I understood my options. I would highly recommend t...his attorney to anyone looking for someone knowledgeable to successfully navigate divorce in the courts with a fervor to fight for her clients to get the best outcome. Thank you Susan.

Shes a woman of faith, diligent and concerned and understanding in a difficult time in life for those on both sides

Some years ago Susan represented me in a divorce. All divorces are painful but mine was also very complicated. My business was faultering and my ex-wife wanted nothing to do with me but withheld a divorce thinking my fortunes would soon change. Add in that I wanted custody and that my ex- wife mad...e a serious claim that a State Supreme Court Judge wanted to have a field day with. Susan ordered psychological tests that vindicated me and led to my custody. Along the way she talked me out of blowing my top in family court on more than one occasion and her fees must have been reasonable because I don't remember them. She's smart and capable and I don't remember her dragging things out like I've heard many attorneys do. I remember her cool, and personal demeanor in one of the three most stressful things that can happen in life.

A Lawyer Who Fought for Me Before She Ever Had to

I have struggled to find the right words to describe what Susan Kassel has meant to me, because saying she is a “great lawyer” doesn’t even come close. Before I ever met Susan, I had an appointment scheduled to meet with her regarding my situation. Before that appointment ever happened, my ex put ...me in the hospital. I called Susan’s office to cancel the appointment and explained what had happened. Susan had never met me. I had not retained her. She had not signed a contract with me. She had not received a single dollar from me. And yet, she immediately stepped in. Before she ever had the opportunity to sit across from me, she helped me obtain an Order of Protection and took action to help protect me. She did this simply because she knew someone needed help. That moment told me everything I needed to know about the kind of person and attorney Susan Kassel is. Since then, she has continued to fight for me through an incredibly difficult and exhausting legal battle. She has stood beside me through situations that I never imagined I would have to experience. She has listened when I needed someone to listen, guided me when I didn't know what to do, and fought for me when I was too exhausted to fight for myself. But what makes Susan truly extraordinary is that she never made me feel like a dollar sign. She didn't look at my situation and calculate what she could make from it. She looked at me as a person. A mother. Someone who needed help. Someone whose children needed protection too. There is a difference between having a lawyer and having someone who genuinely fights for you. Susan is the latter. She is intelligent, incredibly knowledgeable, strategic, tough when she needs to be, and compassionate when you need that just as much. She has helped me navigate some of the darkest and most difficult moments of my life, and there were times when I honestly felt that she was helping save me. What she did before she ever met me will stay with me forever. She had absolutely nothing to gain from helping me at that moment, and she helped anyway. If you are looking for an attorney who will treat you like a person instead of a paycheck, who will fight for you and care about the impact your situation has on your children, I cannot recommend Susan Kassel highly enough. When you are going through something terrifying and you need someone in your corner, you want the person who will pick up the fight even before there is a contract or a check. That person is Susan Kassel. I will forever be grateful that I found her.

Great kindness

Susan helped me through a two year divorce that was really messy. She gave me great advice and helped me along with my two boys. I would hire her again and highly recommend her.

Great legal mind

Susan really took an interest in my daughter and I. She listened in length to what was going on, how I felt and what I wanted. And respected me. She was honest, and shared her expertise, I highly recommend Susan
