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 ...money, no support system, just a deep need for help. She didn’t hesitate. She told me to come in, even though she had no obligation to sit there and listen to me pour my heart out. She’s a lawyer, not a therapist, and yet that day she became so much more to me. She was a listener, a supporter, a guide—and over time, she’s become the aunt I never had but always needed. From the moment I walked into her office, she took immediate action. She didn’t just talk about legal steps—she pulled out her phone, made calls, helped me find a job, and guided me through getting financial assistance so I could start rebuilding my life. Today, I finalized my divorce. I sat in court beside Susan and cried the happiest tears I’ve cried in a decade. She looked at me and said, “You are an amazing woman. It’s time for you to live the life you deserve. I’m proud of how far you’ve come.” That moment will stay with me forever. Most lawyers just want their check they smile, nod, and move on. But not Susan. She genuinely cares about her clients. She’s one of the hardest-working, most compassionate people I’ve ever met, and I honestly don’t know how I would’ve made it through this divorce without the emotional support she gave me. And it’s not just Susan. The women in her office are equally incredible. Agatha, for example—she’s a force to be reckoned with. She’s that person who gets things done, fiercely and efficiently. She’s that woman—the one you absolutely want in your corner. I know this is a long review, and I’m really pouring my heart out here, but if you’re reading this and feeling lost, scared, or unsure—please, call Susan. You deserve to be happy. You deserve support. And Susan and her team will fight for you even when you don’t feel strong enough to fight for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

Susan and her team are the best attorney team i can imagine. She us so knowledgeable about the law and real life including her nursing background. She was honest and gave me real advice, not just what I wanted to hear. Her guidance enabled me to make good choices and we finished ahead. Nothing can e...ver erase harm done, but Susan and her team allow you to get the help you need to deal with it.

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...e 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.

Winning

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...
