Great Person

Susan Pniewski is fantastic. I had previously hired another attorney who significantly added to the stress of my case. Susan took as much of the load as her own responsibility, which made a HUGE difference. I was actually able to enjoy life while going through litigation. One of my favorite people i...n the world.

Best in Northeast Florida

Susan knows the law, the system, the judges, and the other attorneys that occupy the system in this region. She is extremely intelligent, fair, and compassionate. My case was beyond complicated to the extent that few could comprehend where to begin and end. She has tirelessly navigated through the co...mplications requiring many late evenings of extended work and has provided the best damn representation you can get. I fully recommend her without reservation.

Great Experience

I would highly recommend Suzanne to anyone needing an attorney who will represent you. I seeked her help on my case for child support and child custody. I got more time wit has my kids and child support was reduced significantly. I used to feel like a pay check to the mother. Susing assured me th...at child support would be reduced and she was absolutely correct. Becky was great as well as she was someone I was able to talk to and vent to at times. Her team is amazing, fast, and friendly which gave me absolute comfort. I will use her again if I have to and I will recommend her to anyone I know that needs help from an attorney that delivers results.

Replied last September 11, 2015

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
