Susan has been my lawyer not once, but twice. Why the second time? Because she did an absolutely phenomenal job with my first case. In the first accident, I was hit as a pedestrian by a cab driver who blamed the accident on me day one. I had very bad injuries that required surgery. She made sure my surgery was performed by the top notch trauma guy at Scripps who was also fantastic. She has excellent connections with the best doctors around. She worked very hard for several years on my case and was ready to go to trial and crush the other side. The other side paid instead of facing Susan. She always made herself available for me and she still keeps in touch with me. I invited Susan to my wedding when my case was over-that's how much I thought of her. She is a great lawyer, a super nice person, she is upfront and honest about your case-the pros and the cons and she will definitely get you great results if she takes your case. I was more than happy with my results. I would recommend her to everyone. I was lucky to have her in my life because she changed it for the better. The accidents didn't help-but she sure did. Thank you Susan!!!

I was hit while riding my motorcycle. I woke up from a coma 3 months later. The whole ordeal was a nightmare. From the 1st phone call Susan sent experts to the scene of the accident, collected police reports and interviewed witnesses. Susan was able to help with the entire process, sending me to experts in various medical fields to help with all my injuries. She helped consolidate all the necessary paperwork needed from the police report, vehicle insurance, medical insurance, physical therapy everything. She even put together hard copies and digital ones for me when the case was over so I would have a detailed record of the medical history involved in the accident.
There is no other attorney I would trust to handle my case for motorcycle or auto related incidents. Susan worked hard and fought for me for 2 years making sure the insurance companies covered the medical cost and damage to the bike. She knows the business and how to get the outcome we wanted and to build our case.
Bottom Line: I paid 0$ in medical cost. 100% reassurance to me my wife and kids that I was being seen by the best available resources to recover from my injuries. Walked away with a sizable settlement.

A friend of mine who was involved in a catastrophic motorcycle accident gave me Susan Handel's name when I was involved in a bad car accident. The back of my car looked like a bomb hit me. I was in so much pain that it disabled me from performing my work as a waitress. I couldn't do anything without pain. The defendant's insurance company took my recorded statement and I had no clue that they would use my own statement against me. I didn't know that a defense attorney had trained the insurance company on how to take my statement, pretend like they were my friend and cared, ask me improper questions which I had to answer, and then use my own statement against me! My friend urged me to call Susan because he said she was a very good lawyer and would be able to help me. I called Susan and she took over immediately. It was such a big relief to have someone helping me. It was obvious after talking with Susan, that I was in good hands with someone who was very experienced with personal injury law. I was so glad I called!
Susan referred me to medical providers who treated me for my injuries and helped me heal to the point where I can now perform all of my activities without pain. The medical providers were all superior to what I could have found on my own. No approval from my health insurance was needed-no long waits-no denials for medical care that I needed right away. No worries about paying for medical care upfront. Susan has connections to very good medical providers and I discovered how refreshing it was to be able to have great medical care without all the typical stress that we all have to go through with our health insurance or by ourselves.
Susan settled my case for a significant amount of money-enough to call the settlement SIGNIFICANT. I was very very happy with the results.
I would recommend Susan Handel to anyone who gets into any kind of accident. I know she is well known in the motorcycle community for getting great results. But she is fantastic with auto cases too!
Thank you Susan. I am so glad that you were my attorney and I thank you again for all the great things you did for me!!!

I've had the best experience for such a horrible life event. I was unfortunately involved in a motorcycle accident. I knew based off feedback, that Susan was the first to call. She was professional, compassionate, and closed the case a lot soon then i thought. When the defense hears Susan is in the case they run for the hills. She demands justice.
I hope not, but if I am involved in an accident again, I know where I'm going!!!
