Susan Dawson is an excellent business and labor & employment attorney. As a peer, we work in similar areas of law although I practice in New York State, and she practices in Illinois. We often confer on fast-breaking changes to the law, and I always value her insight and her dedication to get to the underlying rationale of new laws and regulations. Susan is diligent and creative in her legal interpretations and analysis, and no doubt this helps her clients. I am grateful to her for being a reputable, reliable practitioner on whom I can rely to support our clients across the country.

I have had the privilege to work with Susan Dawson on several collaborations and her real world approach to protections for her Clients on business law matters is something every Client should seek when they have legal counsel. Not only does Susan see the whole picture, but she is thoughtful about the solutions and how they will affect the business as a whole.

I used Nichole Waltz’s services during high conflict divorce. Here are the highlights after 20 month of my experience:
1. Nichole Waltz will help you to lose your wining case in most difficult and slow passion.
2. If you expecting high conflict divorce – don’t hire this firm. They don’t know what to do in critical situations, they will not protect you, and they will not advise you. You will be left alone to deal with great amount of fear, stress and emotions including court proceedings.
3. If one of your marital assets is privet business – don’t hire Nichole Waltz and her firm. She has no idea how to deal with it and she will not do anything to help you. She doesn’t know how to get financial records for privet businesses. She doesn’t know how to read financial statements and other documents related to the privet businesses. Their financial investigator is not effective either. Check, document and report all your financial documents by yourself, otherwise they will never make to the court.
4. Don’t let her use different lawyers in your case!! It will cost you more for no reason. You will be charged for the time when they exchanging the information regarding your case between each other. Make sure that she will invite court reporter for your trials. Make sure that Mrs. Waltz will attend on every trial by herself. On my first trial she went on vacation and sent her inexperienced young associate to represent me which ended up in a loss of court hearing and additional 2 years of court proceedings.
5. Nichole Waltz will lie to you, she will lie to Judge. She will disregard any of your needs, wishes and will do anything to benefit financially in most efficient way from your trouble without blink of her eyes. She will keep you unaware of details of your case and you will be charged for the time when she will provide the updates. Make sure that your financial affidavit will have all professional/attorney fees entered properly and box where additional help mentioned will remain unchecked. With advice from Mrs. Waltz these details were missing and box was checked in my papers: 60K attorney fees that she received from me and financial help from third party that I never received were in my court papers at all times for 20 month of her performance. These little details helped other party to “win” for some time.
6. Make sure that checks from trials will be on YOUR name. Mrs. Waltz likes to keep them in her trust account and then use them like there is no tomorrow. You probably going to receive only left overs if any. She will refuse to give them to you. When I got to this point with her I found a new lawyer and left. After a short period of time my situation completely changed - I won my entire case and finally became free from abusive husband and court nonsense.
My experience was almost identical to google review on this firm from Frank Matuszek 2016. If you thinking to hire Nichole Waltz to help you with your divorce, think twice.
