Susan Marie Karalus

Ok as I read these other reviews i can only assume these people must have been horrible souls. Susan kept my behind from going upstate. Was in constant contact with me and my family. I messed up in probation on a colassel level, Susan kept me out of jail until I absolutely had to go and even then I d...id a couple months county when I should have been going up north for 2+. She not going to baby you but let me tell you she know some people that know some people and in this town you got to know somebody. 5 out of 4 stars. Susan literally helped keep my family together when I hired her. These other reviews seem bitter and false at best.

Susan was hired to handle a criminal matter. During this time she neglected to confer with the client aside from in the courtroom on court dates. How could a proper defense be prepared with no conferences and without ever discussing with the defendant his side of the story? Well needless to say, the ...defendant got the shaft and would've been better off with a public defender. After the completion of the criminal case and after the defendants jail time was served, a modification of a protective order relating to this case was needed. Susan, by procedural standards, would be the one to file for the modification. She accepted one phone call from the client in which he requested the modification, after that she never returned calls or texts and obviously never filed the request for modification. Do NOT waste your time with Susan. If you use her, she will surely waste your time and money. She is unresponsive to say the least and seems pretty unknowledgeable when she speaks, which has been evidenced when she actually "practices". Susan makes me believe I myself could go to law school and be an attorney if people like her are allowed to practice.

For Susan to have worked with my family for a few years now, I could only assume that she was a good attorney to use for my case. After setting things up with her and being told that she would represent me and keep me informed, I found out 2 months later that she hadn't even looked at the paperwork p...ast our first session. I have called and left msgs, and received no response or I got the run around. This women has no concern for you as a person and considering all that may be on her plate a simple 'i can't represent you' would have been just fine and saved me a lot of stress and anxiety. Looking back on the outcome of the cases she has worked on for my family I now question if she was the right person or did we all just get screwed.
