About

In 2012, the common goal of helping people with their personal legal needs brought me together with my law partner Tracy Hightower-Henne to form Hightower Reff Law.  A North Dakota native, I earned my Juris Doctorate degree from Creighton University School of Law in 2001, after graduating in 1997 from Creighton University with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. During my time at Creighton, I was captain of the women's rowing team and a member of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority.  Staying active in the legal community is important to me. I am a member of the Nebraska Women's Bar Association, Chair of the Nebraska State Bar Association's Juvenile Law Section, and is a former member of the Nebraska Bar Leadership Academy. In 2015, I was honored to be published in the Nebraska Lawyer Magazine when I wrote about how the law led me to parenthood; Living at a Crossroads: My Experience as a Juvenile Court Attorney and Foster Parent, Nebraska Lawyer Magazine, September/October 2015.

Susan Reff was highly recommended to me and I could not be happier with hiring her and entrusting her expertice with my case. I am very pleased with the result and the professional and personable interaction I had with her.

Susan Reff took my case and ran with it. She was knowledgeable, took a personal interest in my case and settled it better than expected! Great job Susan!

Susan and her staff really put our minds at ease. She walked us through a difficult time with aplomb. As our case developed, we felt party to all decisions and she held our hand when dark days were on the horizon. I feel her constant updates and advice really eased my mind. I would not hesitate to recommend her and her firm to both family and friends.

When I first met with Susan she seemed very understanding and did not push me into something I did not want to do. I left the first meeting felling a little better about a bad situation. When I hired her she was not pushy about what to do are how to do it or the time to get it done. Because I was still hoping for a different outcome. Susan and her staff was very understanding even when I did not take there advise. They still guided me through a very hard time. Thank You!

I am blown away at how easy it is to communicate with Susan. She really speaks with me, not to me. Susan does a fantastic job of educating her clients on the legal process and the upcoming steps of the case; be it in- or out-of court. I can't think of any attorney better able to handle family law.

Susan really listened to us during a very stressful time. She was able to explain things to us in a way that we felt comfortable and the outcome of our case was better because we had Susan as our lawyer!

Susan is very knowledgeable about family law and criminal defense. I would recommend her to anyone in these stressful situations. She actually listens to your problems and works with you to come up with an effective strategy.

I was referred to Susan from a family member who works for the Douglas County Public Defender Office. She did an outsanding job on 2 charges I had in 2 different counties, both of wich were dissmissed. She was as professional as they come, down to earth, and straight up with me. Prompt and well priced. Hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do, Susan would be the person that I would call.
