Susan Jane Best

I hired Ms. Best to represent me on a long drawn out divorce case from hell. Ms. Best and her staff were accommodating and very understanding while I went through this horrific ordeal. I can safely say that I could not have picked a better attorney to help me out and she still does because the mother... of my children never quits. Ms. Best helped me to obtain 50% custody of my two children and I could not be more grateful. There have been many many frantic phone calls to her office at all hours of the night and Amy and Ms. Best were amazing. We appreciate you so much. I most certainly have and will continue to recommend Ms. Best to anyone who may need a Family Law attorney.

I hired Susan Best to handle a simple child support and visitation modification. After 7 months and $2,500.00 (and an additional $1,500.00 she blackmailed me with) she still hasn't finished the job. I have requested in person, by phone and by emails that she file discovery requests on my ex, take her... deposition, file a motion for contempt on her and set it for hearing...NOTHING. That is what she has done. NOTHING. She specifically told me not to tell her how to run her practice! And then she had the nerve to send me a bill saying she has used up all of the money and would withdraw if I didn't pay her MORE MONEY before the final hearing! Then she had her secretary send me an email that said it had to be paid in 2 weeks time or she would withdraw! For what? At the one hearing we had, she was not prepared, she was still filling out overdue paperwork minutes before the judge walked in and not once tried to state my case to the judge before he ruled. Incompetence. Indifference. It is extremely apparent she has a complete lack of understanding of law and procedure and a complete lack of confidence in her legal abilities. She talks big in the office but doesn't say a word when you need her to --in court. She is also a HUGE gossip! She told me things about other clients and then said "I don't why I just told you all that." She even sent me a long, rambling detailed email one time where she discussed at length another case she was handling. She also told me she has other clients who have filed complaints with the Florida Bar (check it out for yourself). She is currently being investigated. Do not waste your time or money on this lawyer.
