Extra Severance- Excellent Job!

I cannot recommend Attorney Susan Bluer highly enough. I hired Ms. Bluer to handle my severance negotiation, and she exceeded all expectations. From the outset, Ms. Bluer was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my case. She patiently answered my questions, ensuring I understood ...every step of the legal process. Ms. Bleur's negotiation skills are second to none. She secured a severance package that was eight times the initial offer. I am beyond grateful for her dedication and advocacy. If you're facing a legal challenge, do not hesitate to contact Attorney Bluer. She is a true champion for her clients, and I'm so thankful I had her on my side.

Incredible employee advocate and amazing human!

Susan is an unparalleled employee advocate. Beyond her extraordinary legal prowess, she is incredibly responsive, honest to a fault and does so with tremendous integrity. I would recommend her to anyone who has experienced discrimination or mistreatment in the workplace. She will have your back and w...ill do so with grace and kindness.

Susan got me the offer I deserved

My employer wanted me to sign a new employment agreement that was lean on compensation and rich with terms and conditions. Susan asked me for the background and then rewrote their agreement to suit my situation. I took three rounds of revisions but the final agreement is much better for me (and bette...r for everyone involved). She is thoughtful, smart, and tough when the moment calls for standing your ground. I will rehire her without hesitation when the need arises.

Job exit severance

Susan did a fantastic job in negotiating a severance for my job exit. She is quick, concise and to the point, as well as fiscally responsible in her proceedings. Susan advised timing when to resign and type of communication. She established a solid ground with my employer and able to deal respectfull...y but strongly.

0/10 experience

Classic over promise under deliver. Susan put in 0 work just took my money and didn’t help. Said she could guarantee we have a case, proceeded to do nothing about it. I had to do all the work and direct her. Incompetent, unprofessional, and rude would be how I would describe this lawyer. You’ll be be...tter off finding anyone else, literally go to local kindergarten and find the best finger painter they’ll get you the same results and at least make you smile.

Once again this is not a "review" from a real client. Likely a disgruntled poker player I beat in a recent World Series of Poker Tournament (WSOP) on July 1. Biggest "tell" is that I never EVER guarantee a result. Period. End of story.
