Professional and Concise!

Wanted to share my first conversation with Susan Sadow regarding my work injury. I have no knowledge of Georgia's workers' compensation process. First, she is concise, knowledgeable, and most of all, HONEST! I filled out the online "free consultation" on her website on a Sunday. I must say their we...bsite is very informative and easy to view. Unlike other sites I viewed while searching for an attorney. I received an email notifying me that my information was received, and they would contact me by phone to discuss details further. That same day, I received a text from Susan Sadow asking when is a good time to call. I replied back "Now"! She called me within minutes. She briefly asked me a few questions and provided me with the information I needed to HELP ME. I feel confident and fortunate to have found an honest, direct, knowledgeable, and most of ALL FIERCE HONEST ATTORNEY! THANK YOU SUSAN!

The best in Atlanta

My experience with Susan Sadow and the whole Sadow & Froy team has been nothing short of exceptional! The entire staff is very responsive, prompt and extremely professional, all while being friendly and considerate. Susan’s professionalism and compassion puts her in a league of her own! She always... available to answer and questions or concerns I had at any time during the process. Susan will be straight forward with what she promises and always over delivers! If you need an attorney that is knowledgeable and will work hard for you she is one of the best attorneys in Atlanta!

The help that I needed

I injured my dominant hand in the line duty as a law enforcement officer. I had a broken and dislocated thumb. After nearly six months, the injury was not healing and was still very swollen and painful. The only orthopedic surgeon on the list of doctors my employer provided was not responding to my c...oncerns and refused to order an MRI. I contacted Susan Sadow who understood my injury, and the struggles I was having getting proper treatment. She got the workers compensation insurance company to approve changing my doctor to a hand specialist, who ordered an MRI. I was correct that my injury was not healing. It required reconstructive surgery. The surgery was successfully performed and I went through many months of rehabilitation and occupational therapy afterward. For more than fourteen months I was out of work losing wages from overtime and missed extra-duty employment. The settlement Susan negotiated on my behalf helped with the lost income and allowed me to train for a new career. Susan was instrumental in getting me the treatment I needed and the financial compensation to start over professionally. I wish I had contacted her sooner.

Ms. LeAndrea Millines

My experience with Susan was nothing short of amazing. Susan was professional and caring . Susan gave advice that was best for me and never did she steer me to make decisions for her financial gain. Even when it seemed she was not going gain in my case she never stopped showing care , for that I am ...greatly appreciated!!! I will recommend Susan to handle any workers comp case.

"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"
