Do not take a cut rate deal

I hired with a cut rate deal that could not be remembered. I was in a bad position and it seemed that she wanted to help me out. I paid what was asked when it was asked. I could have gotten more and was informed AFTER payment that more was required and she did not even realize that the payment had be...en received until i finally got a hold of her. She then agreed to continue the litigation. She never did... I tried contacting her afterwards and was not responded to. She changed offices and did not inform the courts (They are still not informed... so any forwarded mail is from Dallas County is not being received by her and sent back). Due to these actions, the custody battle i was in was Dismissed for Want of Prosecution. This resulted in my wife being able to stay in another state and seek litigation against me FROM that other state half the country away. She was not even aware this had happened until I asked her how and why several months later because /I/ saw it in public records trying to review my case to do something more... Now it's too late and everything is lost and the money i spent did nothing at all... I would give 0 stars if it were an option. I have all of this documented and sent to the Bar for these actions over e-mails and text. This is the first time i've ever written a bad review over someone / thing because i understand there can be issues and problems that arise and need worked out... It was the utter lack of communication, incompetence to even remember basic information about what she was hired to do and over all complete incompetence to perform her own duties to the court itself that left her unaware of the situation that leads me to this... if anyone else is in a similar circumstance and action is not being taken on your case. Review your case and find out if it's been dismissed on your own or any other action is being taken. Without addresses being updated, the courts have no method of contacting her and this was verified by another attorney and our court.

Winning Lawyer

My husband and I hired Ms. Wright in January 2016 for a 2 in 1 case! We hired her for the termination of my daughters biological father rights and adoption by stepparent my husband. Our case was a bit of a struggle during the starting and middle process of it, we had a little bit of communication str...uggles but never any doubts about our attorney Susan! Of course anyone going through this process knows its not going to be easy and will take time, I sometimes forgot that but only because I didn't want any mishaps on any side of this case! And welllll lets just say, in all honesty I am a person who likes to be in control!! And lets face it in this type of situation not anyone person is in control only the judge!!! In the end everything went as planned, the biological fathers rights were terminated and my husband finally got to adopt his baby girl on 3/1/2017!! A little over a year, yes but that includes everything in between that comes up and that is unexpected in a process like this. I do believe Susan Wright is a wonderful attorney and truly knows her way around the court room. Very open and honest!!! We would definitely recommend her and would use her again with no second guessing if needed for anything regarding family court for our other 2 children! Thank you again Susan for everything..

Mom at peace

Ms. Wright is an excellent family law attorney who handles high conflict/toxic divorces and peaceful ones, as well custody matters. I consider her to be a life saver for me because she provided great advice and very responsive to emails and phone calls. My ex was a pathological liar, manipulative and... controlling and she went to bat for me and now living peaceful happy life. This attorney is a God send for men and women needing divorce attorney, reasonable fees.

A friendly and professional Lawyer

She helped me with my divorce and made the process a smooth one. She was friendly and made me feel comfortable and was reachable via text or email whenever i had any legal questions. Her legal fees was also reasonable.I would definitely recommend her and use her in the future for legal advice.

Thank you Susan Wright!

Susan Wright has gone above and beyond my expectations during my very complicated divorce. At times I don't know what I would have done with out here there to meditate this matter. In all my experiences with attorneys I have never had a clearer understanding of what is going on in the case. As long a...s Susan Wright is practicing law I should never have go through the process of finding an attorney again. We all know how fun that can be.

"I have known Susan for a few years now and in that time I have seen first-hand just how much dedication she has for her client's cases. I've also seen her stay incredibly late and arrive incredibly early to the office, and go above and beyond in the courtroom just to ensure a positive result. She is an outstanding advocate and I highly recommend her for any practice area she handles."
