Outstanding Attorney

Mrs. Mindenbergs is an exceptional lawyer. She is well balanced, great listener and a activist for those that need advice and legal support when going up against large corporations. Don't underestimate her ability to help you properly present your case. She is also caring and supportive and will b...e straight with you about the process so that you enter with your eyes wide open to what it will take to have a successful litigation. I highly recommend her and suggest you look no further if you are looking for a skilled attorney.

Awesome attorney

Susan is a great attorney and she has a heart of gold. She drove from Seattle to Olympia to help me and did great. I would refer her to everyone.

Yes-Superb!

Ms. Mindenbergs was recommended to me several years ago by a friend of mine who had been helped by her on several occasions. I have periodically sought advice from Ms. Mindenbergs and this year (2009) I was fortunate to have her represent me in an employment case. Over the years I have found Ms. Mind...enbergs to be extremely knowledgeable as well as committed to justice. Ms. Mindenbergs is also compassionate and her financial terms are client-friendly. She is a very strong client advocate and very professional in all regards.

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.
