Susan Jane Best

One word. Horrible! Hired her for a divorce after 30 years and was made all kinds of promises. Wrote her a check and she simply took my money. She NEVER did anything on my behalf. Had to hire another attorney to see my divorce through. Justice prevailed though as her deeds caught up with her and she ...gave up her law license in lieu of being disbarred.

I hired Ms Best to help me with visitation and custody of my then 3 month old son and a year and half later she withdrew from my case. She and her staff always told me that it was an investment in my child to fight for my rights. What it was an investment in Ms Best pocket. She let the mother of m...y child not follow court orders and when I pressed her on these she got angry with me. She would drag her feet at points of the case and tell me that it was the way the court goes. She allowed the mother's attorney bring things up in hearings that were not for what we were in court for but always told me that is not why we are here for today and we would have to wait for the final hearing to bring up these things. We went to court multiple times for non compliance by the mother and each time she did not stand up for me and gave her more time to comply with the court order. The mother would just give a little more information and to this day she is still not in compliance with her information. She will drag everything out and you will pay her for it. If you are a father DO NOT HIRE!!!!

I am a disabled US Army Combat Veteran that was in need of legal representation from my past divorce case. Mrs. Best's assistant Amy was very knowledgeable and helpful when I first contacted her office about my case. Other lawyers in the Lakeland and Tampa area would not consider taking my case. I... asked the initial question are your Pro Father or Pro Mother for your clients. Amy answered that Mrs. Best represents all clients and does not discriminate. This put my mind at much ease from this point forward. All initial questions I had were answered by Amy and she impressed upon me confidence in my case. I hired Mrs. Best and shortly thereafter a clear and concise plan of action was made. Several motions were filed involving this case and each was handled with due diligence. At the conclusion of my case a very favorable outcome had occurred. If you want an attorney that will stand by your side no matter what obstacle or circumstance then seek legal services from Mrs. Best. I was treated with dignity and respect at all times by Amy and Mrs. Best. They are true professionals and will do their very best to ensure all options are explored to resolve your case. I highly recommend Mrs. Best to represent anyone that is in need of an attorney.

I hired Susan back in 2010 to assist me in collecting unpaid child support from my ex-husband, WHICH was a nightmare for me. She was able to get child support from my ex with ease. So much stress was lifted from my shoulders. Susan and her assistant, Amy were very professional, very compassionate... and understanding. They were stern when they needed to be as well. I would HIGHLY recommend Susan. She really is the BEST!

Ms. Best was hired by my sig. other for his divorce. Ms. Best and her team were very accommodating and understanding of his needs and wants. I came into the picture in the middle of this ordeal and they made sure to respect my sig. others and my wishes. It was a very long drawn out and extremely taxi...ng process through which both Ms. Best and Amy her paralegal were amazing and patient. Ms. Best was able to obtain exactly what my boyfriend had intended and he and I could not be happier to have hired her. We always recommend her to anyone who needs advice in similar situations and will always continue to refer to her. Ms. Best and her team are simply the BEST.
