Susannah got our lives back on track!

Susannah is absolutely top notch, and I could not be happier that I had her on my side in dealing with a complicated and emotional insurance case involving several large insurance companies. She set out a very clear strategy and action plan, worked tirelessly building a compelling and comprehensive c...ase, was extremely vigilant about keeping my costs down while still leaving no stone unturned, and brought out just the right details and exactly the right experts to help us to prevail. She tolerated my frustrations, occasional tears and endless questions with grace, kindness, and wisdom. She was able to keep both sides focused and professional, and negotiated a mediation with a very favorable outcome for me and my family. I can honestly say that she got our lives back on track after a devastating fire, for which I am profoundly grateful. I hope to never go through another lawsuit, but if I do, I will immediately turn to Susannah Carr.

Susannah Carr is an excellent and trustworthy advocate

Susannah Carr is one of my "unsung heroes." To a layperson, finding oneself in complex litigation is intimidating and frightening. To then face "push back" from insurers is overwhelming. Susannah was there for me. Her competence, empathy, caring and professionalism gave me the confidence to navig...ate this terrain. She is worthy of trust and can be counted on. Having her on my side empowered me against these powerful foes. What greater recommendation could there be?

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.
