Worst experience and cost me money

When going through a struggling tough time in life, you need someone to help you not make things worse. The Law Office of Susan L. Ward was not just inept but made my life more difficult. From not answering my emails, charging me for misunderstanding/communication time to mistakes in billing ($10,00...0)and NOT following my directions they created a hardship for me making my divorce and debt lawsuit even more heartbreaking. With the understanding of "all work gets billed", Law Offices of Susan L. Ward should be representing me I have proof that was not true. I would not recommend ever hiring them. I will be reporting more of my experience, feel free to watch for all of my social media soon or contact me directly.

Weak

I agree with the other 1 star reviewer. The consult went much better than the rest of the case. Her associate is a weak negotiator and lacks the skill and aggressiveness to be effective in arguing your case. Ater settlement, he admitted that I lost horribly in the financial aspects of my case. As... an unmployed single Mom without income, it's difficult to watch your support go from $570 $74 a month while your Ex enjoys his 100k/year job. Her associate is merely there collecting a paycheck. Why does an attorney that's been in practice roughly 20 years have to market so heavily with radio ads. Shouldn't a satisfied client base keep her office really busy?

Professional, Courteous, Honest & Great at what they do.

Susan Ward and her law office came to me as a referral from a friend. Susan and her team are professional in their approach to your case, takes the time to explain the process and honest in the likely outcome of each court action. The firm is unique in that she and her associates are all familiar ...with your case and available to help. She is friendly, personable and empathetic to the challenging personal experience that brought you to court. Whenever facing a potential court action, she and her team will lay out necessary steps and costs so there are few surprises. Some attorneys may "build up" a case to a client and also build up their fees. Susan and her team will only do what is best for you and only charge what is necessary and discussed. Susan represented me on a divorce, but I would recommend her for any attorney services needed.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Susan for 17 years and she is one of the most professional, yet aggressive, attorney's I know. I regularly make referrals to Susan because of her legal acumen and the alacrity she can resolve matters or go to trial and win. I have every confidence in Susan and her team of lawyers. On top of being a great lawyer, Susan is also an empathetic person who is willing to sit down with clients and talk to them about the "big picture" and how difficult divorce can be. In short, I highly recommend Susan L. Ward."
