Workers Comp Case

Susan did a great job handling my w/c case. She was very professional but she made us feel comfortable anytime we talked to her .She always returned my call if I had a question or needed something explained.She worked on my case aggressively and I feel she got the best settlement possible that inclu...ded an MSA that was really important for me as Im probably looking at another surgery later on. I would highly recommend her for any w/c case.

Very knowledgeable and has a diverse skill set.

Susan used her years of experience and a variety of approaches to reach an acceptable settlement for my injury. I would recommend her highly because she will keep you informed throughout the legal procedures and she will explain all aspects of the mediation process thoroughly.

Susan Sadow

I had the pleasure of meeting with Susan after she was referred to me by someone I met randomly that I met as she explaining how delightful her process was with her claim because of Susan and her team. I called Susan and within 48 hours I had an appointment to meet her in person. She was so personab...le and genuinely cared about my situation. You would think that she does not have other clients with all the attention dedicated to you and your case. Once I decided to proceed with Susan as my attorney my life changed. My case was workers compensation. My accident occurred 18 months prior to our meeting and between my managers, corporate office, and the insurance agency my life was hell. It took weeks and sometimes months to get appointments approved or to get the care I really needed. Once Susan and her team got involved everything happened in a timely manner and all paperwork was handled without me having to lift a finger. The biggest thing was I able to have the spine surgery that finally brought my everyday back pain to an end. And, not to mention I will be financially secure for the foreseeable future. I did not just get a lawyer I made a friend! Thanks for everything Susan!

What an Awesome Law Firm

The day I was injured at work my life changed as I had known it. I never thought I'd have to hire a lawyer but when the company I worked for and their insurance company failed to work with me then I decided that was my only option. After a lot of research I found Susan Sadow and her wonderful law fir...m. After hiring her as my attorney my life changed for the better. I no longer had to struggle to get doctor's appointments or anything to do with my accident. Susan and her team took over and got the ball rolling for me. I was able to see great physicians and specialist with the greatest of ease. If I EVER needed anything Susan and her team was on it. My benefit checks were being sent one week and then not the next until I hired Susan and then I never missed another check. I had the pleasure of meeting Susan and her team on a few occasions and I can honestly say they are like a group of angels sent from above to protect people like me. From day one after hiring Susan everything went smooth. I saw my physicians and specialists, my surgeries and therapy went smoothly because I had not only a great team of doctors but Susan and her team were there to make sure whatever I needed was provided for me. Today was mediation day for me and when I received the news of my settlement thanks to Susan and her team I was absolutely blown away. I am so blessed that I was led to Susan Sadow and her team because without them I don't know what I would have done. I hope nobody reading this ever has to experience the injuries I did and be totally put off by your employer or the big insurance companies but if you do I can't express enough how much you need to pick up the phone and give Susan and her team a call. It was absolutely the best decision I have ever made. Angels are real.

Best decision I ever made!!

When I hired Susan my case was already in a bit of a mess due to my previous attorney. Susan jumped right in and took the bull by the horns so to speak. Her office is very professional and attentive, if you email or call you will get a return from them quickly. Susan gave me her cell phone number was... always available for those sudden questions you might have. She had a hard case to deal with and it didn't to phase her at all. I believe her years of experience has really sharpened her skills and knowledge to where she knows exactly what to expect and prepare for it. She was able to settle my case and get me where I could move on with my life and put everything behind me. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE HIRING SUSAN SADOW AND HER TEAM.

"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"
