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.

Great divorce lawyer

I would highly recommend Susan if you are in need of a experienced divorce lawyer. She was extremely friendly and went above and beyond the entire case. There was no time in the whole process that I did not know what was going on because she kept me up to date with everything. I can not stress enough... how she made this whole process as painless as possible!!

Amazing.... Professional, and Knowledgable!

Amazing is the only word to accurately describe Susan and her vast knowledge. Susan helped me through a divorce in 2009 and again with a modification in 2016 with satisfactory and fair results. She is a great communicator and is HONEST in her communications. Susan was my strength when I couldn't b...e my own and looked out for me and my children's best interest. She is direct and caring all at the same time. She was very patient in my difficult modification and always willing to explain and direct me with her wealth of knowledge and experience. A+++++ I would recommend her without hesitation.

I will never call anyone else

I was referred to Susan by another attorney I highly trust. After working with her I have never been so satisfied. Susan went the extra mile over and over for me in my custody case. She was always honest and caring. Susan truly cared for me during my case. She worked non stop to make sure I was happy... with the outcome. She also did not over charge me as some lawyers do. She is fair and honest, humble and kind. I will never use another attorney. When I felt at my worse she brought my spirits up. She is an amazing lawyer who is very passionate about her clients. I will be referring her to anyone I know needing custody help.

Changed my life

I would, and have recommended Susan to people that need a great lawyer. Susan was my third lawyer in a very long and difficult divorce proceedings. She changed everything , in a positive way, for me. Her knowledge of the courts, judges and proceedings was so valuable. She was able to think on her fe...et and truly look out for my best interest. She was organized and compassionate to my needs. Her knowledge of tax laws and financial matters is an incredible bonus. I have learned not all lawyers have this knowledge. She guided me through some very deceiving financial statements and was able to ask the right questions. I can honestly say that Susan changed the outcome of my divorce and the lives of my children with her experience and tenacity. I will always be incredibly grateful. Thank you.
