Professional, Skilled and Compassionate Attorney

I feel very fortunate to have had Robert Sussman represent me in a criminal matter in Columbia County. Not only was he able to get the charge dismissed, he made me feel like he truly cared about me. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, empathetic attorney.

Retired Sr. Management Executive

Mr. Sussman represented my son on a traffic accident summons. While minor in nature, for a college student it was major stress. Mr. Sussman skillfully took all this stress away and handle a court proceeding with my son with such professional skill. His knowledge of the law coupled with his profession...alism, integrity and human respect and kindness was overwhelming. For a young man who never had to appear in court this was comforting to both him and an appreciative parent, his dad. I could not more highly recommend Me. Sussman.

  • 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.
