Divorce
Mrs. Pedigo was my attorney in my divorce and I was extremely satisfied with her services. Not only that she’s very diligent and precise in her work, but she was very companionate and understanding of what o was going through. She guided me objectively through my divorce process. Her fees are acceptable for Savannah and I did not feel she overcharged me un-necessarily. She also has a very good relation with other divorce lawyers which makes it easier for her to support and defend one. Highly recommend her!

The kind of care I Care about
After 2 decades of marriage, I finally decided enough was enough. My ex was a heavy drinker and verbally abusive, but I wanted to a have a quick safe exit from the marriage. Susannah understood the need to proceed with caution and also with specific goals in mind. She advised me every step of the way and was not interested in racking up big fees. (He had mis- handled our finances, too-- there was not much to fight over!) She understood and helped keep fees down, but also she knew how to help me get what I deserved. I highly recommend her. Whether an "amicable" divorce or not- she knows how to be tough and SMART!!!

Trustworthy
Susannah was thorough and prompt, making sure she covered all the bases. She was extremely professional, yet easy to relate to personally. I hope I don't need legal services in the future, but if I do, she will be the first attorney I will call.

Best Divorce Lawyer in the City!
Susannah did an outstanding job taking on my divorce case, she knows the laws, she gave me best and worst case scenarios, and let me know the pros and cons of each action that we took during the process. The process could have been more lengthy than it already was, with the other side not wanting to back down. Susannah was able to find ways to negotiate and get the job done with both sides getting a fair deal. Thanks a lot for you help! I would definitely recommend her.

Excellent Choice for Your Divorce Lawyer
Ms. Pedigo represented me in my recent divorce. I found her to be professional, very knowledgeable and extremely competent. At the same time she was also compassionate and patient. She kept me on track and provided excellent advice when I found myself getting confused or too emotional. Last, but not least, I don't believe that she did anything to extend the process or add extra work so as to increase her fees. On the contrary, I found the total cost for her services to be fair and reasonable. In summary, I could not have made a better choice in selecting a divorce attorney and I highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of any of the legal services that she offers.

A God Send . . . "Literally"
After 30+ years of marriage and less than 3 years to go before retiring, I was blindsided by a potential divorce. I'd never heard of Ms. Pedigo, but people who loved and cared about me knew her. She took care of all the legal matters in a timely and accurate manner . . . so I could "just breathe". She did everything exactly as she promised. Ms. Pedigo is a woman of her word.

Divorce is only the beginning.
I have lots of close friends that are attorneys but I couldn’t hire my friends to represent me in my divorce, but one of them did recommend Susannah Pedigo and I’m so glad they did. Contested divorce cases are very complicated; time consuming, emotionally draining, painful, and if you add children into this, frankly it can get quite disturbing! Most parents would do anything for their kids even go bankrupt to get what they feel is fair in a divorce. The reality is “Fair” doesn’t exist! Without my attorney Susannah Pedigo’s diligent representation and guidance I would have fallen so hard on to these swords (there’s lot of them) that I wouldn’t have ever fully recovered. Susannah helped me see the big picture and separate my emotions from the law, and stop me from risking more than I could ever gain. I’m so grateful for her and the way she treated me like a family member going through hell. Susannah worked on my case for over a year we communicated often though emails and on the phone. I never had to wait more than 24 hour to get a response and often within 15 minutes even after hours. Susannah is a fast study and brilliant attorney; dedicated to her client’s, I often felt I was her only client. The truth is divorce isn’t then end, it’s the beginning of a new way of living your life and you need to be ready emotionally, financially and have a great attorney to get you there. Thank you Susannah Pedigo for all your hard work in getting me ready for the next chapter in my life!

Professional, effective, strong
I used Susannah for a divorce. I interviewed three lawyers and she was, by far, the best. She thought of everything, handled every situation professionally and with tact. She was so incredibly fast to get back to me when I had questions. I was once on the phone with someone going over an issue and sent her a quick question in an e-mail. She responded with what I needed before I even hung up. I would recommend her over any divorce lawyer in Savannah.

Susannah Rogers Pedigo - A Highly Competent, Compassionate and Professional Attorney
I retained Attorney Pedigo to represent me in my divorce. My case had all the ear markings to be complicated, extremely contentious and drawn out. She exhibited a professionalism that respected my emotional ups and downs, clearly explained the law to me and suggested the best course of actions to take. Susannah masterfully identified and effectively navigated the nuances of the dissolution of my marriage. Because of her research, preparation and strong representation, my divorce was settled to my satisfaction and within a shorter time frame than I anticipated.

Susannah Rogers Pedigo - Family oriented and very compassionate!
Susannah has brought peace of mind to me during a very difficult situation. It is ongoing but with her knowledge and legal advice I have great confidence that the matter will resolve in my favor. She is very compassionate and family oriented which helps when it comes to children's involvement with divorced parents. I highly recommend Susannah if you are in need of an attorney who listens to your needs and carries out your requests to the best of her knowledge and skills.

IT IS MY PLEASURE TO RECOMMEND THIS ATTORNEY
I retained Ms. Pedigo at a very sad and confusing time in my life. She proved to be professional, knowledgeable, fair but, firm and most importantly protective of me and my interests. Susannah (as I came to call her) lead me through the process with her calm and confident demeanor and my case was resolved in a timely manner. I will always be grateful to her for everything she did for me, during that time, professionally and personally.
