A genuine life saver and compassionate person

I had landed into the abyss. The dark hole of a workers compensation case and was shuffled into the stack of no return phone calls, No service, and after a surgery in extreme pain. Recommended by a friend, I contacted Susan's office and that was by far the best move ever. Susan accepted my case a...nd seemed the entire time more of a friend than a lawyer. Her and Her Knowledgeable staff seemed to bend over backwards for my needs and was there any time I needed. Susan, made available to me the best doctor and the best therapy. and after wards the settlement of the case was pretty sweet as well. I would Highly reccomend Susan Sadow to anyone involved in a workers comp case. To her and her staff you are once again a person with rights, feelings, and Needs not just a a case #. Thanks For everything.

THE BEST THERE IS!!!

In May 2009, I injured my knee in a work-related accident. I was immediately referred to Susan's office by another attorney and I can tell you that retaining her services was the single best decision I have ever made. She and the ladies on her staff, Reba and Brandy, are extremely knowledgeable of th...e entire process. They communicated with me every step of the way and were always available to answer any questions I may have had. It is important to know that from the day of my consultation with Susan, Reba and Brandy, through my 2 surgeries and through countless hours of rehabilitation, Susan and her staff were sincerely concerned with the status and quality of my recovery. While this part of the process goes largely unmentioned by other attorneys, regaining - as much as possible - the quality of life that you experienced before the accident is of the utmost importance to Susan, her staff and the highly qualified doctors, surgeons and rehabilitation specialists that she is associated with. Look, I understand, first-hand, the concerns, the fear and doubt that may consume a person when faced with workers' compensation issues. Let's face it, on a good day life and the choices we make in it can be a little tricky. Second guessing, down the road, only comes into play when we were unsure of the first step. Calling Susan Sadow will be the surest first step you will make in this process. Simply by placing this issue in Susan's hands you will empower her to put her sound expertise to work for you. Allow her to connect you with physicians and specialists that are the absolute best at one thing: getting people better! Because of her professionalism, resilience and determination to achieve the best possible outcome, I have and will continue to recommend her legal services.

Susan was my attorney in a workers' comp. case.She got me a fair settlement,which will give me financial and medical peace of mind for years to come.Her knowledge and insight of the law has given me a new appreciation for the legal profession.I would not hesitate to use her again,or to recommend her ...for legal representation.

Everything that you could wish for & more!

Susan is not only honest & trustworthy, but she's extremely dedicated & truly cares about her clients. She will make sure that she knows about every detail about your case as it happens & she often even returns emails/calls within minutes.She is so involved & smart & it's comforting to have an atty n...ot only care, but keep you so updated w/your case. You can tell that she only has your best interests in mind, unlike so many others who only care about a quick settlement.Her staff is so sweet & knowledgeable too! It's so scary to be involved w/ workers comp, but when Susan's on your side, you know that she will win the fight every time. Don't let her size fool you, that classy chic can intimidate the biggest of men & do it w/such grace. She has worked major miracles w/my case & given me back hope when I had lost almost everthing. Hiring her is the one thing that I have ever done in my life that I've never doubted, so do yourself a favor & do the same. It will put your worries to rest & secure your financial future. Thanks Susan!

"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"
