Susan is the best!

Susan is by far the best attorney I have ever had. She doesn't play any games and is on your side all the way! Her billing is clear and she answers all questions, always responded quickly. She has a alpha presence in the Courtroom, I highly recommend her. I will be using her for any future issues. ...

Knowledgeable and caring

I highly recommend Susan as a divorce attorney. When my divorce process was going nowhere and I had a little over a month before pre-trial, I decided to call Susan to represent me. I was nervous about firing an attorney that had already spent 10 months working on what should have been a very simple... dissolution of marriage. I'm so glad I did fire my previous attorney because Susan got me to point where I was actually getting a fair settlement and we never went to trial. Susan set my mind as ease and explained to me the ins and outs of what was really going on in my case. My prior attorney never really took the time to explain anything to me and was about to let me settle for less than I deserved. Susan has a kind heart and will talk you through any issues or concerns you may be having. Again, I'm so glad I found her.

Outstanding Family Law Lawyer (from a Repeat Client)

Susan was highly recommended to me back in 2015 as "One of the best Family Law Attorneys in St. Louis". Susan has now gotten me out of two failed marriages, and she was exceptional in both cases. I would highly recommend her legal expertise to anyone that needs a true legal tiger on their side and ...to have their back. Susan's not only an outstanding attorney that knows the law (she's fair but firm), but she has become a great friend throughout the process! Thanks again, Susan! You truly are the best! I appreciate you!

Professional, knowledgeable, and honest

Susan took a difficult case and brought it through in a timely manner, Besides her legal knowledge, what impressed me most was that I felt, and she demonstrated, that I could trust her to work in my best interests. Things got settled in a fair manner and we were able to settle in mediation.

An amazing attorney

I hired Susan Jacobsen to represent me in a business matter, and could not be more pleased with the process and the outcome. She is kind and empathetic, a great advocate and an excellent attorney. I was afraid this matter would drag on indefinitely, but Susan was able to negotiate a settlement that... was fair and reasonable for all concerned. She cuts through all the extraneous issues to get to the heart of the matter, which saved a lot of time and hassle. She is fair, reasonable and an excellent negotiator. Her fees and billing structure are very reasonable and she is, without a doubt, the most responsive and diligent attorney I have ever worked with, personally or professionally. I recommend her highly and would not hesitate to reach out to her again should the need arise.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
