Top-Tier and Experienced Real Estate Attorney

Sue is a top-tier real estate attorney and litigator. She is a true professional and her depth of experience is a great asset for any client looking to retain her services. I HIGHLY recommend Sue for your real estate needs.

Neglectful and unprofessional

This lady should be reported to the bar association. She lies about a lot of things too.

Client-Friendly Practitioner who Delivers

Sue is very client friendly and delivers what she promises when she promises it. What more could you want in your attorney?

Realtor Cheryl Slivka

Sue is an outstanding professional who provided excellent assistance for my clients heirs. Sadly, my seller passed away during the sale of her home and had no will. Sue worked very hard and successfully had the court order to continue the sale with the heirs in record time. We closed one week l...ater than the original date of the agreement. Amazing!!

Great service!

I met Sue in one of her seminars and I asked her to help us in regards to corporate law matters. She always provided detail and clear answers to my questions. She is the attorney who would educate you instead of just giving you the service without explaining what's happening. I had hired different la...wyers in the past, and Sue is definitely someone I would recommend to others who needs help.

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.
