Review Susan Rosen

Determined, trustworthy, knowledgeable and compassionate

Posted by

Susan Rosen has consistently provided legal services that are superb. I have total confidence in both her knowledge and judgement. She is compassionate, considerate and straight-forward. Her priority is always what is best for me, not what is most advantageous for her. I have consulted Susan on both personal (wills, etc) and business (liability, employment) issues. Her advice has always been delivered in a way that is easy for me to understand, with my decision being the final word. She is very determined and will see any case/project through to the end, always looking for the best resolution for her clients.

Smart, responsive, insightful

Susan Rosen was an excellent attorney for the financial / real estate contractual issue we faced. She did a fine job and we got what we wanted out of the settlement. She was "no nonsense" - to the point and very realistic in what we should expect. I'd use her services again in a hear beat!

I have engaged Ms. Rosen on a number of occasions for both personal and business matters in South Carolina. She is an extremely knowledgeable and competent attorney who provides highly professional and pragmatic counsel and advice. She has proven to be a skilled litigation strategist and valued advisor in business decisions. As a lawyer and a client, I have the highest regard for her and would choose to have her represent me, as the need may arise, in the future.

We worked with Susan on a complex litigation for a number of years, the suit went through the full appeal process. In retrospect there is no attorney that I would prefer to have other than Suasan Rosen. Susan represents a client with their best interest as the main consideration

Susan is an exceptional trial attorney who has represented hundreds of clients in serious medical malpractice and personal injury litigation. She has been selected by her peers to be included in The Best Lawyers in America in both the medical negligence and personal injury categories.

I have had several occasions to work with Susan in recent years. She is one of the most knowledgeable and capable attorneys I have ever had the pleasure to co-counsel with. She is diligent, professional, detail-oriented and accessible. Her knowledge of substantive areas of law as well as procedural matters is unsurpassed. I heartily endorse Susan and would welcome the opportunity to work with her again

Laura Moore, Litigation Attorney on Sep 24, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Susan is one of the most intelligent lawyers I have ever known. She has the ability to master any new area of knowledge to which she applies herself, an essential skill in a litigator. She is known for thorough preparation, she is tough, she has a memory like a steel trap, and she is well respected by all the members of the Charleston and SC Bar Associations.

Amanda Haselden, Medical malpractice Attorney on Sep 24, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Susan is an incredibly intelligent and professional medical malpractice and personal injury lawyer. I always refer cases to her that are outside of my realm of practice, as I am confident that she will take the best possible care of my clients in these situations. She has years of experience and has practiced in these fields throughout South Carolina (and the Southeast), giving her a wealth of knowledge and experience that most other lawyers in her field simply do not have. I highly recommend Susan.

Peter Shelbourne, Medical malpractice Attorney on Sep 24, 2015
