Knowledgeable, professional and compassionate

Susan Scott is unique in a great way. She made us feel like our case truly mattered and not just another “client”. Although she, as most attorneys, have extreme pressure and heavy caseloads, she never fell short of assisting in any way possible and showing true concern and empathy for our situation. ...She is very knowledgeable of child custody/visitation laws and the emotional rollercoaster both the mother and father experience during this process.

Money well spent

I have worked with Susan Scott on and off for 7 years. She knows my case inside and out almost better than I know it myself! She was able to recall small, important details that could prove my case from things that were said by our Judge 6 years ago. Once she has something on her mind, she will sea...rch and dig until she finds it. She has put together such wonderful stuff for me in such a way she is able to get the hard truth out without overdoing it. Sue does not disappoint. She took my case on and was always honest with me, she never gave me false hope, and I could tell she cared about me and my daughter and our situation. Sue is HIGHLY recommended. She is worth EVERY penny. Thank you so much Sue for everything you did for my case and all your knowledge about family court. I tell you, she knows her stuff!

Feeling Satisfied

As is often the case in a divorce, emotions and stress can run rampant. I interviewed several well-known law firms and at the end of the day, it was an easy decision to hire Sue. Her knowledge of how the system works turned out to be spot on. She also had an incredible understanding of how each parti...cular judge would see my case, which proved invaluable. Her confidence lifted mine and at that point, the process became a little less stressful and more business-like. And although she was compassionate, make no mistake that she will take off the gloves and fight for what's right. I have already recommended Sue to others. Divorce is not an easy process, nor is it cheap. But I consider Sue money well spent and I've come out farther ahead than I anticipated. She's the real deal.

Sales Management

I was in a very difficult spot during an already 13 month long divorce battle! Susan came through for me at every level. In the business of the divorce itself her legal strategy was spot on and got me where I wanted to be ( 2 attorneys before unable to the many months preceding). Emotionally I had ...dealt with the worse and found her support a perfect 10 during a highly combative process!! And lastly, her timeliness, where the situations time constraints were truly impossible. Susan somehow got it done and made it happen. I am both a very happy and "free" woman now. Onward and upward in my life on the best possible note having had Susan by side!!

Excellent and on point attorney

I came here to review Attorney Susan Scott to write that she was a wonderful attorney and that I was extremely fortunate to have her of all people by my side. However, I read the last review and was very disappointed to see someone anonymously spoke negatively of Attorney Scott. Attorney Scott has re...presented me on several occasions and has always ensured I got everything that was in my best interest. She made me feel comfortable and calm even when I thought I would certainly never succeed. She really understands her clients' needs and is one of the few lawyers I have experienced that fights for what the client needs, and nothing else. After having been represented by Attorney Scott several times, I do not just consider her as my attorney - I consider her to be my personal advocate. She has an excellent rapport with other attorneys that she has to work with and with judges. She treats you as a friend all while remaining professional. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants an attorney that is there to truly help YOU.
