She is the best she is someone I would trust with my life. She is such an outstanding attorney she really views you as a person and fights hard no one else I would ever recommend. She gave me my life back I could never repay her for what she has done for me and my family. I have referred her and she has done the same for them as well

I was referred to Susan Pniewski in 2014. I was seeking a divorce from my husband of 23 years. Susan is so caring, knowledgeable and wonderful! The best attorney ever! Susan is so good that my now ex- husband refers people to Susan along with the people I refer. Susan is so good that I now want to go to law school. Susan loves animals and I do too! I love her dogs. Thanks Susan Pniewski for all you do!

I came to Ms. Pniewski's office a little over 8 yrs ago and I couldn't be any happier with the results I have gotten. My case wasn't easy and she was up for the challenge. Believe me when I say it was a rocky road with my ex just to see my daughter. Moving forward anything I have needed in my case Ms. Pniewski is on the spot trying to help me and figure out our next step and move to take action. I would and have recommended her to many people I know whom are in the same boat as I was those long 8 yrs ago. I know when I call she always stops and gives me her undivided attention. I couldn't be where I am today with my daughter without her ( I know I fired my former attorney who wouldn't listen or do anything in my case). I have 5 more yrs until my daughter turns 18 and thank goodness I have the best lawyer intown on speed dial if I have anymore issues.

I've used her on more than one occasion and sent many friends to her. All of us would use her again. No matter what the situation is just be honest with her and she will move mountains to get you the best results possible. She will never give in and take the easy route. Susan is by far the best at what she does.

We are so grateful to have her (and still do) in this families corner. Each time herself and her team put 100% into winning our case. 3 for 3 and going to bat with #4. I would highly recommend anyone to her office!!! You will get more than just an attorney, you will have a good person you can trust and count on. Our family is very thankful to have her. Us

I hired Susan Pniewski and the First Coast Law Office after a previous attorney utterly failed me. Mine was a very difficult case, but Ms. Pniewski was diligent, caring, compassionate, but most importantly effective. It was a hard fought battle, but she won victory for me over and over again. I also used Ms. Pniewski for my estate planning, and I could not be happier with the services she has provided me. In addition, Becky and her staff are the best of the best. Thank you so much. You've made my life better.

Truly amazing people working together to change lives. They have been the biggest influence in helping my daughter's to recover the family they lost and relationship with their father they were kept from for 9 years. Driven individuals that won't just give up on you or sit back and let the court system pass you by. Your voice will be heard and ensure you very fair treatment. She was in court daily and many times filling motions up till 2am to ensure they were all in for court.

Susan Pniewski is fantastic. I had previously hired another attorney who significantly added to the stress of my case. Susan took as much of the load as her own responsibility, which made a HUGE difference. I was actually able to enjoy life while going through litigation. One of my favorite people in the world.

Susan knows the law, the system, the judges, and the other attorneys that occupy the system in this region. She is extremely intelligent, fair, and compassionate. My case was beyond complicated to the extent that few could comprehend where to begin and end. She has tirelessly navigated through the complications requiring many late evenings of extended work and has provided the best damn representation you can get. I fully recommend her without reservation.

I would highly recommend Suzanne to anyone needing an attorney who will represent you. I seeked her help on my case for child support and child custody. I got more time wit has my kids and child support was reduced significantly. I used to feel like a pay check to the mother. Susing assured me that child support would be reduced and she was absolutely correct. Becky was great as well as she was someone I was able to talk to and vent to at times. Her team is amazing, fast, and friendly which gave me absolute comfort. I will use her again if I have to and I will recommend her to anyone I know that needs help from an attorney that delivers results.
