Susan E Huhta

Yes, you need her! When faced with an incredibly unjust workplace situation, it took me a while before I finally acknowledged that I truly needed to seek professional assistance. And even then, I wasn’t 100% sure I wanted to move forward; somehow I was still trying to digest how I got here, wonderin...g what I’d have to invest of my personal time,energy,$ to address/correct these serious issues since my company chose to take no action. Particularly for an ingoing (anxious) novice like me, Sue Huhta was an incredible partner. She helped me to separate emotion from fact and reassured me that justice needed to be pursued. Most importantly, she helped infuse patience and a strategic outlook to the situation vs looking for just the fastest fix (or giving-up entirely)! I really appreciated her authenticity in how we connected - she is empathetic, candid, extremely experienced and kept me optimistic through several times when I really did just want to give-in and move-on with my life. I am SO grateful that she was my partner. I know we did the right thing for the company, its other employees and certainly for my personal situation. So if you are still in the phase of disbelief that you are even having to read these reviews to potentially hire a lawyer....I know how you feel. I would encourage you to just call Sue and start a conversation. I’m sure she’ll give you a feel pretty quickly for whether she’s the best partner for your situation, or not.

I met Susan when I was at a truly low point after a poor employment experience. I hired Susan to represent me in an unfair employment termination case. She was compassionate and nonjudgemental but absolutely relentless in obtaining a fair and equitable resolution to my case. She exuded confidence in ...what she would be able to accomplish, was forthright and honest on the potential outcome scenarios. Thanks to her time and talent, I had a positive outcome. While I hope I never have to use her services again if I did she would be my first phone call.

Susan is a true blessing to the legal profession. She helped me in every aspect of my situation. She provided me with expert counsel, needed advice, and patient coaching from start to finish. Most importantly, she genuinely cared about me as a client and did everything within her ability (going above... and beyond) to ensure my success. Susan is also an expert/fair/polished negotiator and is extremely honest and transparent about her fees. Susan worked with me and my family to make what looked impossible possible. I give Susan my very highest recommendation - in every sense - she is a phenomenal, compassionate, warrior! I will consider Susan a true friend for life for what she did for me and my family. Thank you so much!

I engaged Sue to represent me in an employment dispute and could not have been more pleased and satisfied with her work. She knows this field of law inside and out, but that is true for plenty of employment lawyers. What makes Sue stand out so exceptionally in my view is that she keeps a very clear...-eyed and rational view of the client's entire interest: not just the legal issues at play, but also how the matter will impact the client's well-being and ability to move forward. For example, at just the right moments Sue encouraged me to weigh carefully the benefits of settling my case vs. the risks, time it would take, and the ongoing psychic and emotional burdens of continuing to press on in litigation. Because Sue was working on the basis of an hourly fee and NOT on a contingency fee, settling the matter early as opposed to pressing forward clearly would result in less fees for Sue. Nevertheless, there is absolutely no doubt that this factor never entered into the advice and guidance Sue gave me. It was clear to me right from the start that she always had my interest first--and exclusively--in mind. The other quality I admire about Sue and was so grateful for is that she is a fighter in the positive sense. She will not be bullied by the size of a company or organization nor by opposing counsel. She projects confidence and competence, but also can work constructively with opposing counsel to resolve matters. As mentioned above, Sue worked on my matter on an hourly fee basis. Her hourly fee is in line with her position as a partner in a leading employment firm, which could strike potential clients as high. But my experience was that the total of the fees I paid to Sue and her firm represented approximately 8% of the before-tax settlement amount I received from my former employer in this matter. I thought that was very reasonable and I was extremely satisfied. In sum, I highly recommend Sue Huhta and feel incredibly fortunate that she was recommended to me by a friend and that I engaged her to represent me.
