A Life-Changing Lawyer with a Heart of Gold
don’t even know how to put into words how truly incredible Susan is not just as a lawyer, but as a person. About a year and a half ago, I called her in the middle of a snowstorm, completely overwhelmed and in tears. I told her I was stuck in a bad marriage, that I didn’t feel safe, and that I had no ...

Outstanding Attorney
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 compassionat...
"Sue and I have known each other for a number of years and have worked together on numerous occasions. Sue is an outstanding attorney and great person who is compassionate and committed to getting the best results for her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking strong representation."
"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......"
