Susan Is Hero For Heroes : )

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.

Workers Compensation Experience

Mrs. Sadow was a great hire, she was very diligent and sound in her craft of work. She has great soft skills that allows her to connect with her client that she is representing. She takes a interest in really fighting for what is right to help solve your work compensation case. The staff is great and... they do a nice good following up with you during your case. I was very pleased hiding Mrs. Sadow and I recommend if you have a work compensation case and need to be represented the right way, she is the lawyer for you.

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"

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
