Amazing 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 sugar...coat 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!

Family lawyer | Jul 21

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Susan and I were on opposing sides of a highly complex and complicated legal matter. And the parties were in "high conflict" of the disputed issues. Susan was very polite and professional in her handling of the case. She was honest and respectful when discussing and negotiating amicable resolution of the case by uncontested agreement. She worked very hard to support her client's position and wishes but also to help settle the case without contested litigation. If you are looking for a lawyer who will fight for your legal rights but also give you honest and accurate advice about your legal options and realistic consequences of those decisions, give her a call. She was a pleasure to work with/against. Until next time......"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
