Dzenana Delic and Susan Hais

If you are facing a divorce you are in good hands with HHG and Dzenana Delic. Susan did the Initial consultation and gave me great advice on the beginning, when my ex tried to take the kids. And how to fight a sole custody attempt. Then Dzenana Delic took over my case and I cannot really express how ...good of a job she did. She told me the truth and what would happen and what I needed to do. It was a long case that was conflict laden to say the least. When it came time to negotiate and settle the case is when I realized how great of a decision I made and how great Dzenana was at her job. We negotiated a great settlement and protected my rights as a single father. If you are facing an ugly divorce and you aren’t sure who to hire I can tell you that if you choose HHG and Dzenana Delic you will be in good hands. Dzenana always answered emails and followed up. I’ll never forget the way I was represented and defended.

Greatest Attorney ever!

Hands down Susan Hais and Caitlin Keene are some of the best Divorce attorneys in St Louis. After going through 3 other attorneys in Jefferson Co and getting the shaft from all of them, my case was a complete joke. I found Susan Hais, she took the case and felt I was clearly not being represented cor...rectly. As you can expect I was about ready to just quit and give up, since being honest and truthful does not seem to get you anywhere these days in court. Susan stepped in and told me what to expect and the real costs worse case, to prove everything to go to trial. I did not want to spend anymore but understood. The first court date with Susan the other Attorney pretty much gave up and settled the case finally, I was amazed how worried and nervous he was, I am not sure what The two amazing Attorneys did to the opposing counsel in the Judges chambers, but it felt good to finally see a day in court going right for a man. During the whole remainder of the case Susan and Caitlin were always understanding of keeping their time time and billed fairly, they really worked for me and got it done. I was impressed and I am happy to highly recommend these two amazing Attorneys to several folks so far and will continue to recommend them to everyone I know who is in need of their services. Thanks again guys!!

The Best Attorney

I came to Susan when I was kicked out of my home by my husband. She explained everything she could do to help me get what I need to be able to live independently and happy. Susan fought hard for me against my husband’s lawyer. I ended up with more than I ever expected!! Susan and her team are the be...st!

Incredible person and attorney

Not only is Susan the most incredible Attorney, but one of the most personable, respectful, and professional women I have ever met. She is brilliant, she cares, and she gets the job done. She sticks to the facts and fights fair for what she believes in. Although my case is not complete, no matter the... outcome- I will forever have a tremendous amount of respect for this unbelievable woman.

Excellent

I contacted Susan after I learned that my previous attorney botched my child custody case and I took the worst deal ever. My daughter is my everything and I do everything in this world to make sure she has the best life. Everything I aim to do is to better my daughters life to the fullest. I trusted... my previous attorney with everything I had and all I got was coins in my pocket because I paid her everything I had. Susan did not hesitate to step in. She was there from the start. We talked on the phone first. She asked me to send over what I signed and she would call me back. That same day she called me and she strategized what we had to do next. This is the type of lawyer you need in your court. I will be hiring Susan. Thank you Susan for calming me and making me think logically.
