Susan Jill Wolf

Do you want a divorce attorney who does the bare minimum and actually represents the interests of the person you are divorcing above your own? Then hire this woman. The level of apathy and sheer incompetence that she handled our divorce with is indefensible. First of all, it is of the utmost import...ance to say that the husband in our case, did not even have to hire a lawyer. She did such an atrocious job for us, who were paying her, that she practically served as his attorney more than she did ours. The divorce was conducted for my mother, and when I saw the original terms of the divorce, I contacted her to ask that she at least try to negotiate better terms, as least to motivate him to have to hire a lawyer and initiate a back and forth. Her assistant told us that “negotiating was not her strong suit.” Let me repeat that: That a licensed litigator's skill set did not include NEGOTIATION. Long story short, she didn't even try to negotiate a better outcome for my mother- not even a conversation. Basically printed out divorce papers and filled them out for thousands of dollars in fees- something a novice volunteering at a legal clinic could have done. The husband saved a ton on lawyer's fees. In effect, we paid for her to be his lawyer. We absorbed all the lawyer fees and she even ceded some of my mother's personal property without explaining to her what she was signing away. There is an overabundance of attorneys and what you get when that happens is a serious drop off in quality of service. Susan Wolf may sound like a great name, but Susan the kitty Cat or Susan the Translucent would be far more appropriate.
