Great Person
Susan Pniewski is fantastic. I had previously hired another attorney who significantly added to the stress of my case.

This person was not a client but requested free services, after her paid ($50) initial consultation. We were unable to provide free assistance after their initial consultation. I was present in the courthouse for a hearing on the same day as hers and she was upset that I was unable to represent her that day as I waited for our case to be called. An unfortunate experience.

Great!
terrific service all the employees were quick to assist, and the dogs made for a pleasant surprise. She takes awhile to answer but i had my mediation in no time and the case settled only a few months after the incident
