Susan E Huhta

From initial consultation to settlement Sue Huhta was direct, fair and a realist. Most importantly she effectively and objectively counseled me on my employment matter, what my legal options were and clearly stated her approach to achieve the desired results. Once all the facts were on the table abo...ut my employment situation, lack of promotion and subsequent actions by management she aptly noted the violations to laws and sought remedy. Most importantly Sue was actively in involved beginning to end. There was no hand off. She and her partner were equally knowledgeable and participatory. The outcome was satisfactory and timely. Because of my position in the organization I was aware of potential approaches by my former employer. She kindly and directly informed me "that is nice to know but here is the legal issue. And do I want to address it." What I admired the most Sue took the time to thoroughly understand my issue before committing to represent me. I believe that is one of the reasons she is so successful as an advocate for senior executives seeking remedy in employment and compensation matters.

When I was treated very badly by the law firm I was working at, I contacted Sue as a result of her stellar online reviews and was not disappointed. Sue was very kind and sympathetic during our initial hour long telephone conversation. It was also clear from that conversation that Sue brings a wealt...h of experience to the table and I knew immediately that having Sue by my side would increase the chances of reaching a satisfactory settlement with my employer. I had thought that the case would be resolved fairly quickly, but as it turned out, my employer decided to play hardball. Given that turn of events, I can't think of anyone I would rather have had fighting them on my behalf. After each communication from the other side, Sue thinks strategically about what our next move should be. Sue also thinks creatively - we had some fairly complex issues to navigate that would have intimidated a lesser lawyer; Sue took them in her stride. Once she has decided on her recommended approach, Sue is extremely adept at explaining it. And she doesn't just tell you what you want to hear. She makes sure that she gives her best advice, which I greatly appreciated. Sue has a confident but warm manner and I had total faith in her judgment. That faith paid off when she negotiated a settlement that was far in excess of what I was expecting, particularly given that the firm in question had decided to dig their heels in. Overall, Sue is in absolute pleasure to work with. She is easy to build a rapport with and is clearly at the top of her game professionally. I would add that, as a lawyer myself, I learnt a lot about how to handle clients just by observing the way in which Sue interacted with me. If I ever have an issue again with an employer, Sue would be the first person I would call, and my recommendation to anyone out there who is in the same boat is that you should do so too.

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 retained Susan regarding a wrongful dismissal by a corporation. Susan was enormously strategic, and with her vision into possible outcomes, she developed a well-thought out approach to addressing the pertinent legal questions, Susan was a strong and effective advocate on my behalf. While the ind...ustry in question was not her area of expertise, she conducted additional and appropriate research to gain knowledge to help with the overall strategy. As a client, I always felt that Susan had my best interests top of mind; Susan demonstrated that with her strategic thinking, due diligence and availability to the client to discuss various approaches and answer questions.

Sue is amazing. I would highly recommend her for her subject matter knowledge and expertise. My first consultation with her was a 2.5 hour telephone call where she listened to the entire story. At the end, she told me she only takes on about 10% of the cases presented to her because she has to bel...ieve there is a worthy case. Sue walked me through every step of the process and was immensely strong and supportive the entire time. She provided me with needed strength. She is senior-level and tried to reduce costs wherever necessary by instructing me how to write up documentation of the situation and would edit at the end. Sue was able to get me the best possible outcome for my case, advising me along the way. I have referred many peers to Sue over the past few years because she is so good, and recently hired her to review some new hire documents for a new job opportunity and again, she was fantastic. Above and beyond, Sue has an outrageously great sense of humor and storytelling ability, which helped tremendously during my difficult time at work! Sue came highly recommended to me and is the best at what she does!!!
