    Review Susan Sadow

    AMAZING ATTORNEY

    Posted by

    My father used Susan Sadow before I needed her. He spoke very highly of her and he was right in doing so! She’s amazing!!! Although my case was small, she always kept me updated, helped me with any questions or concerns, and did her very best to handle my case! Susan and Reba were both always so friendly and prompt! If I need a workers comp attorney in the future, I wouldn’t hesitate in who I would choose and will HIGHLY recommend her to all my friends and family!

    Best lawyer

    I’ve had the privilege of using Mrs. Susan not once, but twice. She is a very knowledgeable and caring lawyer. She is great at her job and her expertise is awesome. Susan cares very deeply about her clients and it reflects well in her representation. I would highly recommend her for your worker’s compensation needs.

    Grateful we found Susan Sadow

    Posted by

    Susan is a superstar! We retained Susan for a workman's compensation matter. Our family member was left with a traumatic brain injury as a result of a commercial motor vehicle accident. The case was complicated and required over three years of litigation and negotiation. First of all, Susan completely "owned" this case from beginning to end. Susan is diligent and a tough negotiator. She was always available to us to answer every question and provide any detail about the case. Communication with Susan was always caring, clear and prompt. When necessary, Susan brought in additional support from medical, financial, translation and guardianship experts. Susan's dedication to our case resulted in a large seven figure settlement and peace of mind for our family.

    Changed my life!

    Posted by

    What can I say about Atty Susan Sadow? I can say that she is an incredible Atty. I retained Atty Sadow years ago (1993) when I had experienced an injury. Atty Sadow went immediately to work on my behalf. She ensured that I not only received compensation, but also medical care. She was always available when I called, never rushed me, and was consistent with updates as they came in. I often think about Atty Sadow when I look at the injury Atty commercials on television, and I see the look on the people's faces when their Atty tells them they won. That was me, and the Atty was Susan Sadow. She literally changed my life. As a single Mother, she understood that my ability to provide for my children was vital, and that appeared to always be as important to her as it was to me. Atty Sadow not only made an impact on me, but she also impacted my son to attend Law School. He is now an Attorney also! I THANK YOU, Atty Sadow. Thank you for who you were then......and of course who you are now.

    Excellent representation

    Posted by

    I was so frustrated with the worker compensation process when I contacted Susan. I was getting the "run around" from the worker's compensation case manager, my calls were going unanswered, and I felt like I was not getting what I deserved. From the first call to the end of my case, with mediation, I have received support, encouragement, guidance, and education on the "system". Whenever I had questions, and I had many, someone got back to me very promptly. Brandy was exceptionally helpful when I had questions about my weekly checks or my reimbursement. During my mediation, Susan spoke very well of my situation as she had listened to all of my struggles and really represented me well. I would HIGHLY recommend Susan to anyone who is involved in a worker's compensation situation!

    Susan Sadow is an excellent lawyer, Who puts her clients need first, she listens, explains in an understandable matter. Shes also provided translation due to me being a Spanish Speaking citizen. My case was a work injury claim. After receiving medical care she mitigated with the insurance company and won the case. I am happy with the outcome and for this reason I recommend her. Thank you Susan Sadow

    Susan Is Hero For Heroes : )

    Posted by

    As a law enforcement officer, I never imagined myself being in a situation where I would need to hire a workers comp attorney. Unfortunately, after suffering a severe work-related injury, I spent weeks battling with the insurance company. Luckily, I was recommended to Susan Sadow. When I met Susan, I was thoroughly impressed. My situation left me discouraged, but in my moment of hopelessness, she gave me hope. Susan is compassionate, vivacious, dedicated, and always available. I knew immediately that I was in good hands. Susan comes with a wealth of knowledge, resources, and a strong work ethic. She ensured that I was satisfied at every step of the way. I also have to thank her amazing team as well, especially Reba for going above and beyond with a smile. I consider myself to be blessed because Susans firm was my first choice, which turned out to be the best choice. I can’t thank everyone enough for an outcome that was more than what I prayed for. Whoever recommends you to Susan Sadow, truly cares about you.

    Teresa Lazard, Workers compensation Attorney on Apr 26, 2017

    I endorse this lawyer. She is an excellent attorney and is very knowledgeable about workers' compensation law.

    Moses Kim, Workers compensation Attorney on Nov 2, 2016
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    I have had the pleasure of working with Susan on several cases. She is a lawyer who holds herself to the highest standards of excellence and is a true, relentless advocate for her clients. I have the upmost respect for her and would not hesitate in fully recommending her to any of my family or my friends. Best of all, she is a great friend and person to be around.

    Seth Hansard, Workers compensation Attorney on May 16, 2016
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    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

    M. Waters, Workers compensation Attorney on Jan 15, 2013
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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

    Nathaniel Hansford, Workers compensation Attorney on Jan 14, 2013
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    I have known and worked with Susan for several years. She is a skilled and experienced attorney who is dedicated to her work and has her clients best interest in mind. Her style is effective and her results speak for themselves. I am more than happy to endorse Susan Sadow.

    Charles DuBose, Workers compensation Attorney on Feb 4, 2009
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    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.
