Susan Joan Lax

After deciding to leave a long-term marriage, I interviewed attorneys. My initial consultation with Attorney Susan Lax was extremely informative and she documented written, detailed notes as well as answering all of my questions. Susan put me at ease and was very professional, kind and compassionate towards me. She consulted with me for 1 ½ hours during my initial consultation as this decision to pursue a divorce was very difficult for me. Her background as a registered nurse has definitely contributed to a positive dimension in her practice of law for over 30 years. Susan has been up front, straight forward and fair to both parties in my case. She possesses excellent interpersonal and negotiating skills that she used to help me reach a mutually agreed-upon divorce settlement with Separation Agreement. Because of Susan, I was able to decide things and keep control of my case rather than have the court decide for me. It is evident that she goes above and beyond all legal matters that I have seen and she shows me that her legal representation of me is her number one priority. I highly recommend Attorney Susan J. Lax as an experienced, caring, professional, diligent and zealous attorney who represents clients with their best interests at heart and with respect.

I didn't think I would ever have an advantage over MY x husband. This lady and her team were it. The time and effort they put in to not only my case, but myself and my children was amazing. I went through a couple of lawyers until I found a person who actually looked at the big picture and guided me in the right direction even when it wasn't easy or what I wanted to hear. I can recommend this firm with total confidence, they will work for you. She is fair, logical, and smart...

Over the past 4 years, Attorney Lax has guided us through what has been a innumerable series of challenges in multiple courts. We have struggled through a family divorce-like issue, division of property, faced the untimely death of a parent of 3 requiring probate, guardianship decisions, monetary long term planning , evaluating the need for trusts, as well mentoring us,and providing a considerable amount of personal guidance in dealing with this onslaught of life changing events. Attorney Lax has been sterling and knowledgeable in every situation. She is caring, professional, resourceful, and determined to have the best possible outcome for all concerned. She has a remarkable ability to deal with difficult people and complicated situations. Our family is grateful for her ongoing legal care, and we give her the highest recommendation.

Susan Lax is the first lawyer that I really felt that cared about me and wanted the best for me. she is confident and kept me calm when I was worried. I am very happy that she was my lawyer and would truly uase here services again if ever needed. here staff aslo cared about me. when ever I called or e-mail with question she alway got back to me fast. I found her just a great lawyer and fighter for me to make I was taken care of in my case but also I feel she is a great and careing person. when my case over everythings she would happen did and to my bennifit. Cannot say enough how happy I am with Susan and her staff. the are great

I have worked with Atty. Susan Lax for the past year and can state she has contributed enormously to our corporate structure both in it's formation and operations. She has been honest, available and devoted to our cause. I recommend her without reservation - Todd L. Beyer, DO - President Preferred Access Care

Susan has helped me with every step of the way, with my case. My case isn't over yet, but, I feel very confident with Susan, however my case turns out.

Attorney Susan Lax cares about her clients. She knows her law and is one of the most knowledgable lawyers of the law that I have ever met! I have had the honor to have Attorney Susan Lax represent me. Susan is empathetic and takes care of her clients and every situation that life throws at you! Susan modified my child support and made sure that my children received the maximum amount that they deserved!!

I was married to a very difficult man. We had a child together and I divorced him after our child was born. During the five years my child has been in our lives he has persisted on taking me to court every month. I just hired Susan Lax as my attorney. She is the third attorney that I have had since filing for divorce. She has been able to do more things for me in the last month that my two previous lawyers were unable to do. She has been a godsend to me and my case. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a lawyer!!

This woman is not only an awesome lawyer she has a heart of a saint. I was in a rollover car accident four years ago and broke several bones including my neck and hip and Sue was able to take my case on full swing without question. She gets down to business with no BS in the courtroom. She wont sugarcoat anything and tell you honestly what your case is looking like and what to expect from the case. I HIGHLY recommend Sue to anyone who needs a good, loyal lawyer to fight and win their case! From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I will be in touch soon Jennifer P.S. I said the accident was four years ago I got my settlement two years after due to my injuries keeping things going. My injuries slowed the process down a lot because Sue wanted me to get all the medical attention I needed to get better. Bottom line is if you need a lawyer look no further. I hope you see this Sue, you deserve many more reviews like this!

I hired Ms Lax Several months after I was injured in an auto accident in July 2018. The other driver ran a stop sign and was clearly at fault. I provided all documents as she requested. Every month or two I followed up to find out status of the case. I saw a chiropractor for three or four months and showed improvement but not 100%. After doctor release in November, I continued stay in touch with ms Lax. She continued to respond ‘it’s coming along’ and/ or the other side doesn’t own liability. Long story short, case was never really worked and I got a call one week before the statue of limitations was up(2 yrs. later) saying She’s turning file over to Mr. Furtado as he’s a trial lawyer. She said they have to file suit and they wanted $325 from me to file. I paid her. Me Furtado filed incorrectly(not sure he’s still licensed). He stated the defendant as the claimant The case therefore missed the statute of limitation. They actually paid a low but no choice payout)me out of their pockets as the case dissolved and the other side paid nothing! Had I known she would back burner my case I would never ever had hired her!!! What a fiasco!

I was referred to Susan by a friend who had used her for a small matter. I retained this lawyer for divorce. I'm glad to read that others had good experiences with her. I had NONE and it still cost me so much money. Her employees change constantly. Never a call back. Administrative errors galore. Sloppy. The receptionist who answers the phone actually will chuckle the whole time she's answering the phone. It's great that the employees are having a grand old time--on your dime--while also creating DOUBLE-WORK (double$$) due to their sloppy errors. Unprofessional, sloppy, barely awake. Avoid this firm at all costs.
