Susan Sadow ... A Consummate Professional

After suffering a work related injury to my knee and elbow , the realization became crystal clear that trying to decipher the Workers Compensation maze was far beyond my scope. Representation , representation, representation...... I cannot say it enough. Susan most eloquently explained in detail how ...the process would unfold...... step by step. Susan and her team brought my case to a successful conclusion in a timely manner. As soon as I met Susan and her team, my level of stress truly lessened and invaluable to me. Intuitively , I could tell Susan would be direct, honest and empathetic ...... and that is exactly the way it happened. WOW!!! Brandy assisted with so many details with an encouraging positive attitude even when I was really at a low point. I never felt left alone throughout the evolving circumstances. I take solace in knowing there are people such as Susan , Brandy and the whole team that strive every day for excellence in their chosen field tempered with humanity and humility. You have all made a difference in my life to positively move forward. I am truly appreciative and highly recommend Susan and her team!!!!!! A sincere thank you and smiles.

Recommendation for Ms. Sadow

For anyone contemplating Ms. Susan Sadow, Susan Sadow has earned my utmost respect! She worked tirelessly on my behalf. Upon meeting Ms. Sadow, I was astounded by how brutally honest and forthright she was about my claim & her expectations of me. My prior attorney never returned any of my c...alls or emails nor did she take the time out to explain to me step-by-step on the process of my claim from beginning to end. Miss Susan did all of this and more. The staff at Ms. Sadow’s were extremely professional, compassionate yet thorough. Not once did they drop the ball! You could not ask for a better attorney. I highly recommend Ms. Sadow & will continue to refer all Workman Compensation claims to her. Everyone of you deserves the best!

Best Lawyer! Hands Down!

Last year my husband had a terrible fall at work and it was a hard time for us. Once we contacted Susan, we knew she was the answer to our problems. My husband spent his time recovering instead of worrying about legal matters. Every time we called or emailed, we got a response back immediately. Susan... was always sure to answer any questions or concerns. She is definitely very knowledgeable. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer at all! Brandy and Susan are so amazing! I definitely would recommend Susan to anyone who is in need of a worker's compensation lawyer. I am glad she represented my husband!

Great team to work with!

I cannot thank Mrs. Sadow and her team enough for helping me through my stressful time. We dealt with some very difficult individuals during my worker's comp case, but they fought for me every step of the way. I truly believe that I would still be dealing with all the stress if not for the Sadow La...w team. A big thank you to you all!!

So fortunate to have found Susan!

I did not have an attorney for almost a year into my treatment after a serious injury at work. Even though I had surgery for my injury, I knew more was wrong than what had been diagnosed. Thank Heaven, someone recommended Susan Sadow to me. She immediately took control, worked to get me to a ...specialist who could diagnose all the "collateral damage" of the broken bones and treat what had been overlooked! She was instrumental in getting my injured area assessed by highly respected specialists and got my case transferred to one of the top orthopedic surgeons. After all treatments were done, my doctors and I came to the conclusion that I may never return to my per-injury state; I may always require medications to alleviate pain and I may need further treatment in the future. Susan advocated for me to receive compensation to guarantee my needs will be met for the rest of my life. Without Susan on my side and guiding me thru the "WC maze", I know I would have never gotten the treatment I needed and my case probably would have just been closed, leaving me to figure out how to pay for the medication and treatment I will need for the rest of my years. Even though my case is now closed, I know she is just a phone call away in case I need 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"
