Can't lose if you choose Misses Sussman

Nancy is hard working, caring, supportive, and determined to win her case I'll give you that. But, what takes the cake is when my attorney walked into the court room on that glorious afternoon and ripped the opposition a new one, in the politest way possible of course. Truly a sight to see in action.... This is a lawyer I know that I can recommend to anyone.

not a schister!!!! like the rest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nancy is my book is a dynamite attorney. Defense attorney may not like her because she usually bets them in her own angelic way. II cannot thank her enough of getting my child a 1.'5 million settlement without even filing a lawsuit. Truely amazing. She gets along great with her clients I am told and ...get them money and that is all that counts, honest , hardworking and just plain decent.

excellent attorney not afraid to speak her mind

ms sussman is the best , most honest and hard working attorney i ever had. she handles her cases personally and always gets back to her clients. she is not afraid to speak up to the judges when they are being bias or unfair or the opposing attorney as well. her outspokenness does not make her popu...lar with the opposing attorneys who have a tendency to lie and try to cheat but to her own clients she excels with enthusiasm and hard work. i achieved an outstanding settlement with this attorney and i recommend her highly to everyone who wants justice. my malpractice case was settled within a reasonable length of time at a very fair settlement. anyone who does not see the extreme fairness of this attorney is in my opinion crooked themselves. cary wexler
