Excellent in every respect

My husband and I needed to update our existing estate plan and hadn't been impressed with our previous attorney. Working with Susan and her team was a totally different experience. Rather than being told what we needed, Susan listened to us, asked questions, and helped us explore our options. She and... the whole team were personable, knowledgeable, responsive, professional, and helped keep us on track throughout the process, including helping us take the necessary steps to fund our trust. I have so much more peace of mind after working with this law firm and recommend them without reservation to everyone who needs an estate plan.

Susan Hunt Law is Amazing

Susan Hunt Law was recommended to us for handling of our Wills and associated documents - Power of Attorney and such. We wanted to select an Attorney / Firm that could understand our needs and be both professional and caring at the same time. Sue Hunt and everyone else in the Firm fit these needs f...rom the start. We knew we had come to the right place and were not disappointed. The Susan Hunt Law team held our hands through the process and we are very pleased and confident with the outcome. We highly recommend for Susan Hunt Law for any needs.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
