Reviews

I used her about 15 years ago and based on the recent reviews things haven’t changed. Do NOT use this woman for ANYTHING. She solves absolutely nothing and just finds ways to draw out cases rathe than end them. She drew my divorce out 18 months then I finally fired her - In front of a judge that Susan didn’t even show up to the hearing for. I was trying to get a divorce and a move away and what she couldn’t accomplish in 18 months I accomplished in ONE hearing (AND won on my own). Don’t waste your money on her unless you like just throwing it in the trash cause that’s all you’re going to get from her.
1 Star is too generous. Run, run, run away as fast as you can. Made an absolute disaster of my Father’s Estate. Talks over everything you say especially if it’s a complaint. Offered to come to his house due to him being severely sick, to sign for a notary signature. Failed to tell us it was a $300 charge. The library is free. My Sister called 3 times to ask questions. Our estate was charged $150 per phone call unknowing to her. When I called to complain about extra charges the secretary Mary said ‘why do you care? you’re not paying for it’. Can you imagine hearing that after your Father saved his whole life for that money and died. Yes, the whole family paid for it. I have no idea how she has been able to stay in business this long. I am filing a complaint with the board. Anyone else with these problems should do the same. No one needs this extra burden after losing a loved one. Dishonest, greedy, incompetent, unemotional, detached, arrogant, I could go on and on. I am so saddened that I have had to deal with this for so long after losing one of the most important people in my life.
I decided not to hire her and she kept most of my money. She had me to make copies of a lot of paperwork that she was supposed to do. Very unorganized and speaks to staff and clients as if they're beneath her. She hadn't done anything on my case...I was gathering the documents but she still kept my money I put down on my case..out of over $2000...I got back a little over $100. She's a crook with no respect for people.
If I could give no stars, I would. We hired her as a family lawyer to get rights with my bonus son. We were doing it for 2 years alone before we hired her. The only thing she got us was extra summer time visits. No decision making, no nothing. She has double charged us for court dates, had us served due to her suing us while I was in labor with my 2nd daughter. She falls asleep on the phone, doesnt reply to emails or phone calls when its regarding her own mess ups. She blatantly lied to us about filing documents then sent us a bill for them anyway. This firm is a complete joke. She charged us $15,000. We have already paid $6k, and somehow our bill today was for $15,330. Please please run fast. Do not hire this firm, specifically susan.
I called and spoke to her about a case. Usually U leave a message and they get back with you. She was very quick to start talking. I asked right from the beginning prices for consultation and was told she would get me that in a min after getting some more info. About ten min in I ask what this was meaning was this just her giving advice or our consultation and I was told “what do You mean this is me getting some info so I understand why your calling.” Mind you this was all with attitude. That day I told her I’d relay info to my bf and call her back if we were interested in her services. She called my boyfriend several times after hours hounding us for a payment before we even decided to go with her. She then decided to tell me if we just stop going out to eat or start buying your young kids cheep toys they wouldn’t know the difference and we would be able to put money down. She Also was telling us to check out banks to get loans so we could pay her. Next day she is blowing up our phones for payments again before we even decided to who we were going with. A week later the bill comes that we owed $150 for 30 min of attitude and advice on how to live cheeper to pay her. A complete joke. I would not trust her or choose her if it came between her or representing myself. Money hungry is all she is. If I could rate her 0 stars I would.
