Excellent legal representation!

Robert Sussman was referred to me through a friend. I had been served with a very concerning legal document and having a deputy sheriff show up....at my home...with this document...concerned me greatly! I thought, "I need good legal representation". I called a friend I trusted and she recommended Mr.... Sussman. I drove to Mr. Sussman's office....(even though he was on his way out to court)....and he stopped long enough to explain what this document meant and what were the series of steps involved in addressing this in court. I asked him if he would represent me and we had an hour long consultation the next day! He was awesome! He answered all my questions ...and he listened to me! When we went to court he was intimidating! (Mr. Sussman is at least 6'7" and a powerful....not to be underestimated.... presence in the courtroom.) The incorrect paperwork that I had been served with was thrown out and Mr. Sussman resolved all my issuses. I was overwhelmed! Very happy! All I can say is Mr. Sussman won my case! But, he did his homework and talked to witnesses and actually understood my case and my position. I felt as if Mr. Sussman was defending my honor. Should the need arise, I wouldn't hesitate to call Mr. Sussman first. He's fantastic David Benson

Best attorney by far!

Robert was very knowledgeable and understanding and hiring him took a huge load off my shoulders. He was very clean cut and detailed with what he was gonna do for me and was very impressed with how he handled my case and did what he promised. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else but him if you’re in nee...d of a lawyer!

The man that gets it done

Robert is a highly dependable and professional lawyer who under promises and over delivers. He really got to know me as a client in order to determine the best course of action. Robert was there for every step and provided me with frequent updates throughout the process. I could not have been happie...r with the outcome of my case. Highly recommend.

Genuine Advisement

I have hired and consulted with Mr. Sussman on a few occasions and he has always given me genuine advisement that was always in my best interest. Robert represented me for my DUI case and we were able to obtain the best results for my situation. I also consulted with him during my divorce, where his ...advisement help me find a final resolution quickly and in very financially efficient manner. Very professional and very personable, Robert is someone that is very much worth knowing, consulting, and hiring if ever in need of legal representation.
