Posted by anonymous | September 11, 2012
Susan represented me in a criminal matter where the police lied and stated they'd seen me leaning out the window of my BMW purchasing crack from a street dealer after which point I supposedly raced off and they had to chase me, losing sight of my car, however later supposedly they located me at the 7...
"Susan is an exceptional criminal defense lawyer. Her written and oral advocay skills are unparalleled, and she cares deeply about her clients. She has extensive experience as both a trial lawyer and appellate attorney, and appears in both state and federal court. If a friend or family member were in trouble, Susan is the first person I would call."
"Susan is bold, incredibly smart, and thoughtful about her cases. I have seen her work at both the trial and the appellate level. She has the respect of her colleagues, the opposition and the judiciary. The respect is well-deserved and any client represented by her would be in very good hands."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Susan works tirelessly for her indigent clients. Most of them probably don't realize how lucky they are to get a lawyer with her talents for free."
