Susan Jane Best

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!

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.
