Susan Haber, an Excellent Attorney

I had the opportunity to witness Susan Haber of the Kavinoky Law Firm, on a matter. She is very professional, very prompt in dealing with matters and very caring. She is effective in strategizing and dealing with matters promptly. I recommend her whole-heartedly to anyone in need of her service....

Reduced sentence! :)

Susan not only did an amazing job but also has an amazing team that's also there to help. From the beginning they made me feel comfortable in a moment of need and thinking my career was going to end. Susan treated my case very well. I was able to get my DUI reduced to reckless driving when blood work... clearly showed I was under the influence. My main concern was not getting a breathalyzer in my car and getting the DUI off my record. She was able to successfully do both. I sometimes have clients in my car and breathalyzer at my job was out of the question. The court ordered me to do safety classes to create awareness where I was able to meet others in my situation. Others complained that their attorney was a no show at their court, and all mentioned I am very lucky to have my DUI reduced and based to their knowledge DMV request for IID is a non negotiable, which Susan was able to convince DMV to not place device in my car. I am thankful I chose Susan and her team to help me in this difficult time in my life.

Susan was great

Susan was great. She negotiated a good deal from the DA and was very prompt to keep me informed of my options. She also made me feel comfortable with my situation and was pleasant to speak with.

Relationship: Co-worker

"If I were in a pickle, I would want Susan Haber as my attorney. Not only has she been practicing criminal law for 17 years, she has been on both sides of the fence, beginning her career working in the DA's office as a prosecutor and then as a criminal defense attorney. She is unwaveringly committed and dedicated to defending her clients and making each individual feel heard and understood. She is passionately dedicated to everything she does and always goes over and beyond to make sure her clients feel confident in their representation. An true inspiration and honor to have Susan as a colleague and mentor."

"I’m so delighted that Susan Haber is part of The KLF family. They demonstrate a commitment to delivering Peace of Mind to all of our clients that is truly awesome. Susan knows that our clients care about getting the best possible result, having the best experience of being represented, and feeling fought for and cared about. My ultimate test when hiring an associate is whether I would want them going to battle on my behalf. There is simply no question that when it comes to Susan, I would jump in a foxhole with them without hesitation."
