Posted by TiaMS | May 05, 2011 | Wrongful Termination

Susan And I Came Out Victorious!!

Susan was amazing! I was wrongfully terminated and she helped me keep my unemployment benefits. She was very, very knowledgeable about the Virginia law system. I was informed every step of the way! She was easy to talk to and I didn't feel rushed. I felt like she cared and she presented my evide...nce very clearly and to the point. I would recommend Susan to those who have been terminated at no fault of their own and need their unemployment benefits to survive. She will help you fight and come out victorious like WE did!

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.
