Susan was everything and more as a professional as I had heard about her. Working with her was truly a blessing. Working with her staff never felt like I was bothering them or being a troublesome client. An Awesome Experience.

Highly Professional!

Susan Sadow is by far the best worker's compensation lawyer that I have ever met. She takes pride in the quality of her work and strives to deliver excellent service in all that she does. She is witty, strategic, and very efficient. You can always depend on Susan to make decisions that are not rushed... and that are in the best interest of the client. I have hired her twice, and both times, she did not disappoint me. Thank you, Susan, for your immense professionalism!

A wonderful Consulation

I would like to thank Susan for the great advice. I came into her office not knowing the rules and regulations about work comp. Susan was patient and trustworthy. I felt very comfortable while speaking with Susan. She allowed me to ask questions so that we were able to have a plan that would accommod...ate my needs. Thank you, Susan, for the great service you provided on yesterday. I highly recommed you!

Workers compensation lawyer | Mar 31

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"

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
