"If you're seeking legal guidance that blends fierce advocacy with heartfelt care, Bates-Buchanan & Savitsky Law Group, P.A. is the team you want in your corner. Dawn Marie Bates-Buchanan and Susannah C. Savitsky--widely known as The Lady Lawyers of Florida--bring a rare combination of professionalism, emotional intelligence, and strategic clarity to every case. From estate planning and trust management to real estate and consumer law, they don't just handle paperwork--they protect legacies. Well-established in the Venice area and extending their reach into Sarasota and Bradenton, they meet clients where they are, both geographically and emotionally. What truly sets them apart is their deep compassion--not just for people, but for pets too. Their commitment to animal welfare shines through in their innovative pet trust services, ensuring that beloved dogs and furry companions are cared for even after an owner's passing. It's a reflection of their values: thoughtful planning, heartfelt protection, and a genuine love for family in all its forms. Their collaborative approach makes even the most complex legal processes feel manageable. They listen, honor family dynamics, and craft solutions that are both practical and personal. They're big enough to fight for you, small enough to care--and that's not just a tagline, it's how they operate. Highly recommend for anyone seeking legal support with soul."

"I asked for help after Hurricane Ian because my landlord illegally locked me out after I lost everything. I was promised help, and I was left with unanswered emails and delayed excuses. I was left homeless and penniless and filled with false hope and false promises."

"Stay away from Susannah Savitsky. ZERO stars. She is incompetent, unprofessional, unethical and only cares about the money. Very phooney."
