Susan Smith was by far the most competent, professional and effective attorney I worked with. Susan's knowledge of family law and expertise in the court room is by far the best I have witnessed; she is tactical and her communication with me was unparalleled. I understood her logic, she kept me informed throughout the lengthy process and most importantly she gets results. The difference between Susan and the multitude of lawyers I have used before her is that she actually CARES. She was invested in my son and I; she checked in on us long after she was off the case. That is the difference. "

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2013-2022Susan Smith is an exceptionally gifted litigator. Her strategic and skillful writing created sound arguments that helped us prevail in a unique and complicated legal battle. Susan?s keen sense of the law and fierce advocacy for a child's rights ensured that our family remained bonded together through very difficult circumstances. Susan was up against attorneys who worked for some of the most powerful law firms in the city. Susan showed no fear, she was confident, and held her own against the ?big boys?. As a schoolteacher, I was blessed to find Susan Smith. She worked as hard as ten lawyers and was very fair in her fees. Susan was relentless in pursuit of justice and fairness. She is an educated, experienced, professional. She cares about her clients -- especially the children. She has a great deal of compassion. I recommend Susan without reservation.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2013-2022My grandparental visitation case took place in multiple states and lasted almost 10 years. Susan is a fierce advocate. Her knowledge of the law and understanding of nuances and intricacies in the judicial process makes her formidable. Susan?s expertise and skillful filings allowed me to keep in contact with my only grandchild. Susan fought our case in multiple courts, even the State Supreme Court. She presented exceptional arguments through multiple appeals and ultimately ensured our Order was upheld. When my case moved to another state, Susan worked, often at her own cost, to help my new attorney prevail and enforce our Order across states. Susan is a principled person. She has a strong moral compass and considers all options carefully. I was confident that the course of action she recommended was well thought through. Susan always had my best interest at heart. She followed through our legal battles with conviction because she believes in fairness. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
