Susan M. Schauf, PLLC

My first attorney made a mess of my divorce proceedings by filing ill-conceived, unrealistic and untimely motions and running up my costs needlessly. Susan got the motions vacated and got my divorce settlement back on track. She corrected the combative atmosphere that my first attorney had created and established an atmosphere of professionalism. Susan is very focused and clear thinking and will not lead you down paths that run up your legal costs and do not achieve the results intended. Due to her many years in the legal system, she understands explicitly what will and will not work. Listen to her advice and you will be fine. more

Very well prepared. Susan prepared me to win. She will tell how it is. She. Won't sugar coat an answer just to get your money. She brought her very best to me. I was very happy to use her service. more

At a painful time in my life and then I picked out an attorney that was in adequate. She would not help me nor give me advice when asked but she was fast to take my money and pushed to go to court for added expense. She was of no help, please don't go to Susan Schauf for your legal needs. Save your time and money. more

Do NOT hire this attorney.She is unprofessional,incompetent and unresponsive.She sent me an email from my ex's attorney.She wrote the following,"For your information.Please review and advise as soon as possible.Deadline of Feb.17th is set forth below in the email." We had 5 days to respond.I called her office a day later.She was agitated that I called and told me that she had not even looked at the divorce documents yet.She emailed me twice requesting that I provide documents-all of which I previously provided.On Feb 26, Ms.Schauf emailed me stating that she would "address my remaining concerns next week".Over 2 months passed with no contact from Ms. Schauf-either to me or to my ex's attorney, who tried to contact her repeatedly.I contacted her secretary in April via phone.I was told that she was reviewing the documents and would contact me.I waited a few more weeks, then terminated our contract, leaving me with no legal counsel and out $3500 with absolutely nothing to show for it. more
