Outstanding.

Susan Reff was highly recommended to me and I could not be happier with hiring her and entrusting her expertice with my case. I am very pleased with the result and the professional and personable interaction I had with her.

Great Defender!

Susan Reff took my case and ran with it. She was knowledgeable, took a personal interest in my case and settled it better than expected! Great job Susan!

A great law team

Susan and her staff really put our minds at ease. She walked us through a difficult time with aplomb. As our case developed, we felt party to all decisions and she held our hand when dark days were on the horizon. I feel her constant updates and advice really eased my mind. I would not hesitate to re...commend her and her firm to both family and friends.

When I first met with Susan she seemed very understanding and did not push me into something I did not want to do. I left the first meeting felling a little better about a bad situation. When I hired her she was not pushy about what to do are how to do it or the time to get it done. Because I was sti...ll hoping for a different outcome. Susan and her staff was very understanding even when I did not take there advise. They still guided me through a very hard time. Thank You!

Amazing Attorney

I am blown away at how easy it is to communicate with Susan. She really speaks with me, not to me. Susan does a fantastic job of educating her clients on the legal process and the upcoming steps of the case; be it in- or out-of court. I can't think of any attorney better able to handle family law.

Criminal defense lawyer | Apr 27

Relationship: Co-worker

"I am so proud to be working as an Associate Attorney for Susan Reff at Hightower Reff Law in Omaha, NE. While I have know Susan for almost 6 years, I began working with her in September 2015. Since that time, Susan continues to impress me on a daily basis with her constant professionalism towards both clients and her colleagues, her knowledge of criminal law, and her ability to multitask and address numerous legal issues, big and small, throughout the day. Maybe the biggest testament to Susan as an attorney is her clients' satisfaction with her work -- I have yet to come across a client who doesn't walk away after working with Susan feeling like they have a zealous advocate fighting for them. I highly recommend Susan as a criminal defense attorney."
