This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Completely Satisfied !

We were referred to Ms. Ritacca via the Metropolitan Tenants Organization as our search for someone representing the tenant's side of a dispute yielded few obvious choices. We were more than pleased to find Susan to not only be an advocate but a competent, no nonsense and reliable expert in the matte...r. The straightforward presentation of what to expect and when, her timely communication and best yet, her delivery of "the best outcome" was all performed with the highest professionalism. I have worked with many attorneys and can say with confidence Susan Ritacca exceeds in her field.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I highly recommend this attorney. I worked with her on a criminal matter that looked destined for trial. Because of Ms. Ritacca's hard work and motion practice, the State presented an offer too good for the client to refuse. Ms. Ritacca is extremely diligent and hard working. You cannot go wrong with this attorney."

  • 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.
