This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very Satisfied Client

I used Susan Dodd's services in 2014 for my Bankruptcy. I was impressed from Day 1. She is very professional, very thorough and made me feel at ease on the day of my court date. I have referred several people to her and will keep on referring her.

Intelligent, compassionate, brilliant

Susan Dodds was the last of several Attorneys I consulted with. Being a business owner the prospective of losing the blood, sweat, and tears I invested was frightening and embarrassing. Ms. Dodds was professional, ethical, and brilliant in tailoring a plan for me. She was also compassionate, and mad...e me feel well taken care of, and not ashamed. Her prices were more then fair, in fact I would have paid more. She's wonderful. Highly recommended.

100% Satisfied

I hired Susan Dodds to help file my Ch7 case and I'm glad I did. She was knowledgeable, attentive, nonjudgmental and affordable. Her patience and attentiveness to my case was commendable and first class. One of her strong points is communication--every e-mail or voice-mail was responded to same day, ...usually within the hour. From my first meeting with Susan until the official "Meeting of Creditors" (7 months time-frame) her diligence towards my case was unwavering and not once did I feel I was in the wrong hands. I recommend Susan Dodds to anyone who is looking at the tough decision to file bankruptcy.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
