"Susan saved the day when my husbands identity was stolen, her advice to act quickly with freezing credit and recommending a private investigator prevented us from suffering any further damage. She is tough when needed but is so kind and respectful no matter what your situation may be. Susan is the person you want in your corner."

"I was referred to Susan for my legal services from an employee. She is a fighter and won't give up. I could tell just by talking to her 1 time she was the one I wanted to have on my side in the courtroom. The cops tried to get me woth a dui while I was sleeping in my car at home. She got it dismissed. She is professional and very caring. I would highly recommend her for your legal services. She is the best!!"
