Greater lawyer

Robert is an excellent lawyer he kept me informed every step of the way and went above and beyond to help me understand my case. He treated me with respect and was very responsible. Also, very responsive to my questions. I’m happy with the outcome of my case.

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.

The best lawyer

Mr. Sussman did his thing in court and helped reduce my charges and fees. He also kept my mom and I updated the whole time. I was referred to him by 3 other people when searching for a lawyer.

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

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.
