Professional, honest, and very helpful

Robert helped me earlier this year with a case and I couldn't be happier with the results. The case was far from a cut and dry case and was a pretty emotional/traumatic experience for myself. Robert always made himself available when I had questions or concerns and was very helpful, honest, and eve...n keeled throughout the process. He was reassuring without ever over promising and helped to guide me through the process in a friendly and professional manner. Robert is a lawyer that will truly care about your case and treat you with respect. I am very thankful he had been referred to me and I highly recommend his services if you find yourself needing some.

Posted by Edese | July 16, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Integrated and best lawyer for your case

If you need a lawyer in the divorce area, I will suggest Mr Robert Sussman without a doubt for your case. Mr Sussman accepted to take care of of my divorce case knowing the complexity of my file having been married in France. His French language backgrounds has helped tremendously to communicate with... him. He gave me his honest expertise regarding my case and prepared me for what will happen. His primary concern was to do right by my file and respect my at the same time still protecting my rights following the law. He explained clearly every procedure at each step of my divorce. He reacted as my advocate and my advisor all together. Not only his work but also the support and welcome of his colleague (associates and assistants) makes me feel secure all along my case.

Consummate Professional

Robert worked the custody case for my son. As a father I felt my chances of coming out ahead were slim to nil but he reassured me and put in the necessary time without wasting his own time and my money. He was very clear with everything he was doing and the bills were very detailed. He made the entir...e process much better than it could have been. Robert was very straight forward with me and kept me informed about each motion and how we were responding. He let me know what he needed from me and gave great advice when I sought it. Even if we had not won I couldn't give him a strong enough recommendation.

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.

Posted by anonymous | October 24, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Child Support/Visitation agreement

Mr. Sussman went above and beyond to help with a visitation/child support agreement case. He was always in contact and kept me up to date on where he was with the other parties attorney and fees, court dates, etc... He went out of his way several times to make sure I was getting exactly what i asked ...for out of the case, and made sure to make it happen no matter how difficult or crazy my requests for this case were. He is a phenomamal attorney, and i would recommend him to anyone looking to come out on top of whatever case you may bring to the table.
