Ms. Sadow's reputation for excellence spreads among her fellow attorneys and among her clients. Having met Ms. Sadow and seen the results of her work time and again, she has likely earned every compliment written about her on this site ten times over.
Eric Trivett, Workers compensation Attorney on May 29, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Susan is a highly competent and effective advocate. Litigating against her is a pleasure, and I endorse her without reservation.
Stephen Garner, Workers compensation Attorney on Mar 31, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have had the opportunity to mediate a number of cases where Susan represented the claimant. She is always very well prepared, has helped her clients understand the process, and has done the necessary groundwork to get her clients top-dollar settlements. She realizes the importance of mediations and puts a lot of work into them. She has an excellent grasp of the complex issues which vex less experienced claimant’s attorneys, such as proper handling of MSAs, Social Security offsets, and subrogation liens. Her excellent advocacy skills in the courtroom are well known, but I have had the privilege of seeing her use the slightly different skill-set necessary to help her clients get the best settlement to be had though the mediation process and exhaust all ancillary sources to maximize the benefits for her clients. She truly is a Super Lawyer

Susan is highly competent, professional and, while zealously representing her clients is always very pleasant to work with.

Susan is a true professional in every sense of the word. She works diligently to get the absolute best result for her clients and is a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone injured on the job who is looking for an attorney to represent them.
