FORGET 5 STARS, SUSAN IS A 10 STAR ATTORNEY

Susan is not only an excellent lawyer but a great person as well. The sense of altruism displayed by Susan and her staff was amazing. My first attorney seemed to have little time for me so I decided to make a switch. I spoke with all of the big work comp firms in Atlanta but none of them gave me t...he true feeling that they really cared about my case like Susan did. Prior to mediation Susan told me" We will stay there until the cows come home to get you a fair settlement" Well the cows did not come home but a tornado was nearby and you could hear the warning sirens. Needless to say Susan kept plugging away and ended up settling my case for an amount that my prior attorney came nowhere close to. Susan is by far in my opinion the best work comp attorney not only in the metro Atlanta area but in the state of Georgia. If you truly want results, retain Susan Sadow. RC,

Hurt on the job and finding no help

I was hurt in an on the job accident and the insurance company would not do anything to help me in any way. The adjuster would not take my calls or return any calls i made to them that is when i made the call to Susan and i could not believe what a change she made in just a few days. I was sent to a ...very good Doctor my adjuster was calling me to see if i needed anything all of my checks were on time i could not believe what a difference having someone with her experience representing me could make but it sure did. Susan and her team were so caring and professional and i should add dedicated to making sure that i was kept informed every step of the way and all of my needs were taken care of. She is worth her weight in gold when it comes to getting her clients what they need. When time came for a settlement in my case she was on top of that as well. When someone needs help you need Susan Sadow in your corner i am sure gald i had her in mine.

A lawyer who has your back from start to finish and will do everything she can for you

I hired Mrs. Sadow shortly after I had lost my job at warehouse job due to a knee injury. When I first sustained the injury I did everything in my power to work through it for fear of loosing my job if I took time off work for surgery. My knee constantly gave out on me at work and was told by the do...ctor that I had no choice but to get the knee surgically repaired. As soon as the doctor released me from work my company fired me. I was not given any instructions on how the workers comp process would work, if I would be eligible for rehire, or even how to continue getting medical benefits. Even the Doctor I was dealing with seemed to word things very much to my now ex employers benefit rather than to mine. I felt as though nobody was in my corner or had my back in this whole process. That all changed though the second I hired Mrs. Sadow to represent me. She put me in touch with the best doctor and physical therapy team out there who actually care about you and your progress. They understand the hardship you are going through. She and her team took over every aspect of dealing with the insurance adjuster and made sure that I received everything that I needed in a timely fashion. Once I hired Mrs. Sadow she handled everything. It felt as though I was no longer backed into a corner by my ex employer and their insurance company. With Mrs. Sadow now in my corner I felt as though I had the upper hand and the whole process went very smoothly from that day forward. She and her team provided comfort and assurance in a very difficult time in my life. I am very thankful for her and her team and everything they did for me. If anyone should find themselves going through this type of hardship in life I would highly recommend Mrs. Sadow, I am very thankful for her and her team and the final outcome of my case. I obtained a very nice settlement and finances are no longer a concern as I search for employment elsewhere. Thank you so much for everything you and your team did Mrs. Sadow.

Great lawyer, honest, dependable and trustworthy

After being treated poorly by my former employer and their insurance company after being seriously injured on the job I retained Susan as my attorney. Before I hired her I interviewed a few other attorneys and Susan was the only one to answer me honestly during my interview with her . As soon as I h...ired her the my former employer and their insurance company changed their attitude and the way they were treating me for the better. Susan and her whole staff were professional , caring, and a pleasure to deal with in one of the hardest times in my life. With their direction and guidance I was able to survive financially and emotionally a very difficult time . Susan recently handled my settlement and I must say I am very pleased and received more than I expected to get. I will recommended Susan Sadow to anyone who is in need of a workers comp attorney.

Best Workers Comp Lawyer in the World

Susan Sadow and her wonderful team of ladies (Reba & Brandy) make your bad days and nights seem worth living. Susan takes the bull by the horn from day one and tackles your case as if her life depends on it. I have know Susan for 10 years and had the pleasure of watching her grow into the most compa...ssionate attorney this state has ever had. In August 2008 I injured my back at work and no matter what the doctors did to treat me, it just was not working. I have lived with chronic back pain since then. Day & night i live with pain running from mid back all the way down both legs. Susan helped me fight against workers comp so I could have the surgery I needed. Just as you feel like giving up, Reba or Brandy will answer the phone when you call with some off the wall question. No matter how crazy their day is, they always take the time to listen to you complain and allow you to cry and then some how make you laugh before haning up. . Susan, Reba and Brandy are very professional at what they do. I would stand behind the work these ladies do for each and every client. Thank you for every pain staking moment you all have given me. Lots of love to you. God bless you all for everything you do.

"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"
