Estate Settlement

It was a pleasure to work with Ms. Kozlowski. My being in North Carolina and her being in Indiana proved to be no problem at all. She was always prompt in answering my questions and providing specifics of Indiana law. Ms. Kozlowski helped my brothers and me get the settlement we were looking for.

Knowledgeable, organized, efficient, cost effective, "tell it like it is" approach

I was trying to close my mother's estate. The lawyer I started with was new to the field and not doing well. I amicably parted-ways with them then switched to Susan. Attorney Kozlowski jumped right on the case. She explained the process well. It proceeded just like she described it. Lisa in her offic...e was always quick to respond to my requests. They were organized and efficient. I needed the legal work to happen quickly and they were able to make it happen. It was a great relief to have Susan and Lisa handling this for me. I especially liked Susan's "tell it like it is" approach. I highly recommend Attorney Kozlowski.

Highly Recommend -

Sue Kozlowski took her time to explain the social security disability process and guided me through each step. Always available to answer my questions and concerns. Sue treated me as a person and just not another case - she took time to listen to me. Lisa (her assistant) was prompt with answering m...y emails and assisted in keeping my medical records organized and up to date. I can not thank them enough for the support and patience throughout the long process.

thank you

I hired attorney Kozlowski to handle my divorce a few years ago. She and her team were thorough, timely, sensitive and considerate regarding my case, my needs and those of my child. I recently reached out to attorney Kozlowski with questions additional questions. Again, she was responsive and spec...ific. She and her team have done a great job representing me.

High Professional Standard

I hired Susan last year as my prior attorney was retiring. She stepped right into my complex divorce/international kidnapping case. She is concise and to the point. She takes positions that she knows will hold in court and she attempts to keep her fees low by focusing on the real issue at hand and... not the other minutia that opposing counsel attempts to draw her into. I highly recommend hiring and retaining her as I have and continue to do so.
