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. ...

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.

When I need legal help I don’t want to feel like needing a lawyer to talk to my own lawyer. One lawyer I can recommend.

Susan had my best interest in mind even when I didn't always asked the right question; different to experiences I had with other lawyers. She seems to have a passion to get to the bottom of the subject (case) and was able to describe the steps she is taking to achieve the desired results. She also ex...plains potential roadblocks and alternatives. I was especially impressed with her professional conduct and performance during court appearances. And I was equally pleased with her willingness to go over questions and concerns (including her bill), provide feedback and solution approach.

Excellent Attorney- I would highly recommend

Susan represented me in a civil case and guided me through some business negotiations. She was wonderful. She was able to accomplish what the other attorneys could not. She was very informative and made me feel totally informed every step of the way. Everything Susan said came to pass. She really kno...ws the system and know the law very well. I would highly recommend Susan for any of your needs.
