Best and Most Trusted Workers Comp Atty in Georgia!

I am a Police Officer who was injured on the job while an inmate decided he wanted to fight with me. Although I am 6'2 282 pounds, I still managed to sustain injuries..Ms. Sadow met with me and was straight forward with me on each and every question I asked. Through the process of working with her ...she was always available to answer all phone calls, check on my weekly checks deal with any and all problems with the Dr. office, workers comp people and any issues with medicine. Which left nothing for me to have to worry about during a critical time. As an officer I have to have my shoulder and hand to protect myself and others. My career was on the line. She made sure I had the BEST care in the medical field available to me. She is the most trustworthy, dependable and honest attorney out there. I have met many Attys and that is all I've been around being in Law Enforcement for over 23 years. Thank you Susan, you saved my arm and my career! S. Seymour

Best in the Field!!

I was a single mother who worked for the same government for over 18 years and was hurt on the job. It was devasting to say the least. I had taken a class a few years ago and heard Mrs. Sadow speak at a class and was very impresssed. A friend of mine had used her and it took one call and from there..., she took control and make sure my best interest was taken at heart. It wasn't about the money but my health and my well being and being treated fairly. Not one time, was she never available. She always returned the phone calls and her entire staff was extremeley pleasant and on top of everything. I can't imagine going through this without Susan and her staff! She made this as painless as could be and was supportive emotional and when it came to settlement time, she was fearless, don't let her small size fool you. She knows the answer before you can ask the question. She fights to the bitter end for you. And that's what you need in Workers Comp injury. She is the Best!! Lisa Pendley

The first "Honest and Knowledgeable Attoney I ever met"!

How do you state a truth that should no be, (It's not the norm for the Profession) and make it believeable. This statement is for Ms. Susan Sadow. My Attoney! I,m 68 years young and lucky to have met Susan. A Back Surgery, and a neck Surgery, (With an Implant), from an on the job injury. I of co...urse wanted the best to represent me. I inquired to an expert on WC claims, My Brother-in-law, who investigates frudulant WC claims. His search, he resides in Connecticut, lead him to Susan Sadow, residing and practicing in Atlanta Ga. The fact of distance alone will show her effectivness. Simply, she's the best there is in what she does. Never could she not be reached. Never did she predict untold wealth as the settement. She stated a very substanial amount, missed by just pennies. Not once was any statement she made not the TRUTH. Not only is she the best Attoney I know, She is a Friend. NEED THE BEST? NO FURTHER SEARCH REQUIRED!

Client Review

Susan Sadow represented me for a serious back injury that I had on-the-job last year. She did an outstanding job and was always there to answer any questions that I had. Without Susan, the insurance company would never have offered the high settlement that we received. I particularly felt that her ad...vice regarding my medical treatment was invaluable. I highly recommend her to other injured workers.

Client Review

Ms. Sadow was my attorney when I fell and suffered serious injuries to my knee and shoulder. I had two operations on my shoulder and another surgery on my knee. Ms. Sadow fought for me every step of the way. She helped me find the right doctors for my injuries. I think that my adjuster really respect...ed her ability. I was very satisfied with the settlement that I got. I never could have gotten an offer like I did without her!

"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"
