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.

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.

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!

This place was a mess when I walked in. Got charged at the attorney's rate not the legal aid's rate, who wasted over an hour of my time and money telling me about her life. I was in an abusive situation, but it was not used in my case, she did not explain options, and even overlooked so many details ...for my case, including assets that I could have used as leverage. Took my money and then some. My next lawyer really made it clear to me how much I was taken, how little the lawyer did for me, how unprofessional they were.
