This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Great Lawyer

I was immediately impressed with Susan knowledge of the law and thoroughness of her approach.

Susan is an excellent Family Law Attorney

Susan is extremely Knowledgeable, compassionate, and works very smart. She is honest, and truthfull when giving advice and during representation. She has helped make things easier by being straighforward and direct, even when the answer you get is not the one you want. I recommend Susan to the hig...hest degree when having to face a difficult family law case, she's the kind of lawyer you need by your side when you're trying to protect the most valuable asset in such cases, your child. Thank you Susan for everything you've done and continue to do for our family.

Review on S. Carroll

Susan is very competent, agressive and gets results right away. If you need anything clarified, she immediately notifies you by whatever method you used to resolve any discrepencies. She is a good family lawyer. I very highly recommend her.

Estate planning documents

Susan assisted me, and later my new wife, with our separate and joint estate planning documents. This included complications related to each of our previous partners and child custody/support issues. Susan provided excellent service in a timely manner and clearly explained the purpose and limitatio...ns of each legal instrument.

Family lawyer | Jun 02

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. One can't hire a better family law lawyer than Susan. She's strong at negotiation, client contact, and trial. What more can one need in a lawyer? Since she has kicked my buttocks in trial once, I know how hard she fights for her clients if a case has to go all the way and I will confess, it is tough being on the other end of her trial stilettos!"

Family lawyer | Mar 16

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Susan Carroll represented an opposing party in a case of mine last year. She was always prepared, paid attention to the details and though the parties' emotions ran high, Susan remained focused on the issues and kept the case on track. She was professional in every sense of the word."

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.
