Great to work with!

Susan Aurelia Rodriguez's Lawyer Endorsements
"Susan Rodriguez is a highly experienced and tenacious employment defense counsel that I would enthusiastically recommend (and have recommended) to employers facing difficult employment issues. She is both diligent and creative and has achieved great results for clients under challenging circumstances. Perhaps most importantly, Susan demonstrates a commitment to putting the client’s interests first. She would make a great choice for an employer seeking a dedicated employment defense lawyer for either preventative (advice and counsel) work, or hard fought litigation."
"I met Susan Rodriguez many years ago when we were opposing counsels on a contentious sexual harassment case with serious allegations, including criminal charges against her client. I was very impressed with Ms. Rodriguez in both her professionalism towards me during the litigation while vigorously defending her client's interests. Ms. Rodriguez is competent, ethical, and very experienced. I refer cases to her with great confidence."
"Susan has an incredible wealth of experience, insight and knowledge in her field, which ensure her employment litigation clients representation that is simply second to none. She balances this background with a very approachable and kind personality - traits that make her a fantastic advocate for her clients. I recommend her without hesitation."
