About Stephen Susman

I urge anyone considering hiring me to contact my references (former clients and both co-counsel and opposing counsel) who have seen me in trial and to check out my firm's philosophy on handling lawsuits. Both are on our website, www.susmangodfrey.com. With offices in Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle and New York, my practice is truly nationwide. Our preference is for fee arrangements that compensate us for results, not effort.
