An Attorney who Listens

Susan is an attorney who actually listens to you, and it feels like she is really on your team. She helped me with a custody situation, and I was very impressed with her attention to detail. She combed through a large stack of documents I provided to her and consolidated them into a meaningful and ...efficient legal document. Susan also remembered the important points of my case and could quickly relate new information to the existing situation, seeing both the big picture and finer points that should be addressed. She was readily available for discussions and responsive to my needs, professional, and kind. Her discussions with opposing counsel were direct and served my needs well. I’d highly recommend her!

Assertive Representation

Susan represented me in my divorce. My wife was incredibly unreasonable, and I felt that Susan fought hard for what I wanted. She understood my perspective and the law, and she explained what was going on every step of that way. Even though it was not an easy time, Susan made it a little better becau...se I knew that she had my back.

Susan is great!

After a search, multiple consultations and throughly explaining my case to several attorneys I only felt like I was being heard once. Susan thoroughly explained the entire process, my options and made me feel like she was truly on my side 100%. We were able to reach a settlement and I attribute Susan...’s persistence as well as her attention to detail that resulted in a quick resolution that I was happy with. She comes highly recommended from a satisfied client.

Excellent work for a resolution

Susan was placed in charge of my case and was very much on top of things. She reviewed the history and worked closely with the lawyer from the employer (who no doubt was fully aware that this was a problem from whom she had to represent). She used my career accomplishments and insured that I received... a good amount of time for me to be compensated as well as to search for opportunities in my field. I am very pleased with her efforts.

An Attorney who Truly Cares!

Susan is more than just a great attorney. She's caring, warm and personable. She was my "guiding light" during a challenging business dispute. Not only did Susan look out for my best interests in resolving the issue but she was a positive presence throughout the process and saved me from the stress a...nd aggravation. I put my complete trust in her and would do it again in a heartbeat!

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.
