Very Good job with My Divorce!

Susan was very helpful with the entire process from start to finish. It was nice to have her there a resource anytime I had a question. She really knew how to handle this as best as possible. Great Job!

final outcome

My case has been finished for a week now. And i am pleased to say that I have gotten exactly what i wanted. Each time Susan and i went into the court room we came out with something we went in to get. She fights hard and cares about the outcome. If you want a great family law attorney, this is the pe...rson to go to! I would use her services again if ever needed and will continue to use her services for all of my legal matters.

Divorce and Criiminal

Susan handled my divorce case and i could not be more pleased . She was extremely knowledgeable and very professional and very responsive . She was always available to me and emailed me right back and returned my calls promptly . I was very pleased with the outcome. She's very persistent and tena...cious but yet remains professional. She also handled A criminal matter for a family member and did a outstanding job with that as well. Please charged we're also very reasonable. I would highly recommend her and I will tell all my friends about her and I will use her again should the need arise.

SUSAN Widenbaum is not just an attorney but a caring human being!!!

I needed help in a life or death situation with my daughter that was seriously ill. Ms. Widenbaum immediately helped. She not only shared in answering every question but extended herself way beyond a lawyer's required work. I would recommend her to anyone. She helped to save our daughter's life.... We can never thank her enough. She is professional in every aspect and yet puts heart behind her work.
