A+++++++

I couldn't be more pleased with the legal representation provided by Sue. Sue is professional and wonderful to work with. She really cares about her clients and goes to bat for them! I was very fortunate to have her as my legal counsel on my complex Erisa case. I highly recommend Susan Meter! A+++++...+

Susan Meter-attorney with Kantor & Kantor re: Long Term disability case

After a near fatal illness and treatment, my long-term disability insurance company ceased my disability payments. Glenn Kantor of the Kantor and Kantor firm took my case and Susan Meter was my attorney. The whole experience with this firm from beginning to end was wonderful. Susan is a sharp, bril...liant attorney. She explained all the complexities of the process and made me very comfortable. Susan negotiated an excellent settlement and I will always be very grateful for all that she has done for me. I was very satisfied with the working relationship and the results. I recommend this firm and Attorney Susan Meter without reservation.

Attorney

Ms. Susan Meter represented our company in several ERISA-related cases during 2017 and 2018. She demonstrated a deep understanding of the technical legal ssues and was extremely responsive and helpful in guiding us throughout the litigation process.

QDRO

Susan Meter was recommended to us for QDRO work through the divorce. Susan was available to help as needed, involved the divorce lawyers when things got complicated and even though she changed offices during the course of our work with her, we continued to have her represent us. I appreciated most ...the fact that she was responsive to my inquiries and needs during the 7 month duration of the processing.

"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."

Relationship: Other

"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Meter is experienced and to the point on ERISA and employment benefit matters. Through a review of her answers to inquiries concerning employment related issues she exhibits a consistent high level of competency and has the ability to address difficult issues and provide responses that are understood and easily digestible. Her advisements are sound and always stand on all fours. In Southern California if you have employment benefit related problems, especially ERISA, do not hesitate to contact Susan L. Meter. Do not even consider someone without a high level of expertise. In the legal business ERISA issues are most troublesome and difficult. In summary, there are many rules and probably even more exceptions. Do not hesitate to look for Susan for advice in these areas."
