An Excellent Attorney

My husband and I were in need of an attorney in May, 2012. I made an appointment with Susan Brake. The amount of time before we could get an appointment was reasonable. Susan was not only very knowledgeable in the section of law that met our needs, she knew exactly what forms we needed to compl...ete and information we should get to her. Susan kept us up-to-date on any changes to our case, additional documents we were to take care of, and the time limits of such documents. Susan put us at ease the day of our court appearance, and we were well informed of what to expect. Susan met all of our expectations. I would use her again without hesitation.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Susan Brake is an experienced consumer bankruptcy lawyer in Lithia Springs who is well qualified to represent Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 filers. I got to know Susan when she served as an assistant Chapter 13 trustee and she always went out of her way to respond to phone calls and offer helpful suggestions. I have no doubt that her experience in the trustee's office has given her unique perspective about the bankruptcy process in the Northern District of Georgia. Now back in private practice, she is always willing to share her insight with colleagues. I am happy to endorse and recommend her services."

  • 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.
