Excellent attorney

I hired Ms. Pedigo as counsel in a divorce case. Throughout my experience with Ms. Pedigo and everyone in her office, I was treated with the utmost respect, given excellent advice and was aggressively represented. I would highly recommend Susannah Pedigo and her practice.

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 i...nto 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!

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. Should you find yourself in need of an attorney, Susannah Pedigo is the one you would want in your corner.

One of the top attorneys in Chatham County and beyond

I lucked out in finding Mrs. Pedigo to represent me in my custody case. Not only is she extremely professional and knowledgeable, she planned ahead, defended my weaknesses, and highlighted my strengths. She is highly organized and always prepared. Had I not had Mrs. Pedigo as my attorney, I don't... believe I would have been able to obtain 50-50 custody of my children. Mrs. Pedigo was extremely patient with me as well, as going through a divorce and a custody battle is an extremely difficult time. She saved me money at many points throughout my case and did not try and run my bill up as fast as possible. I didn't take a financial hit in the settlement and I am not an every other weekend father and have custody of my children half the year solely because of her. I'm quite confident in the fact that whatever side Mrs. Pedigo is representing, the results will be better than expected. I can't say enough good things about her. All you have to do is meet with her once and you'll understand why.
