"I am a spine surgeon and therefore see many patients with spine injuries. I have worked with Susan Wirt countless times over the past 20 years or so. Ms. Wirt is an incredible case manager/care planner. She is organized and professional. Additionally, she has the rare ability to interact equally effectively and pleasantly with patients, office staff, physicians and insurance adjusters. I am always reassured when I see Ms. Wirt is involved with a case. I know that the patient's care will be directed in a rational and efficient manner. I would recommend her without reservations."

- James Leipzig, M.D. Reconstructive Spinal Surgery
"The best life care planner I have used is Susan Wirt. She is the best because she is very objective, and thus, very credible and does not come across as a hired gun for the defense or for the plaintiff. Her credentials are sterling, she is highly intelligent, and she makes an excellent witness."

- J. Speight, Attorney at Law, Lucas & Kite, PLC
"I was involved in a terrible motor vehicle accident a few years back which broke my spine and left me paralyzed from the chest down. The insurance companies involved did not understand the extent of my injuries, nor did they believe I was warranted any compensation for my injuries. My lawyer recommended Susan Wirt to provide me with a life care plan listing all of the projected future expenses in which I would incur from my injury. Her attention to detail in my case assisted me greatly in providing me the compensation I deserved. Not only have I used her life care plan for the lawsuit, but I have used it in providing my health-care insurance the information they needed me to as well. Her professionalism and friendship have proved invaluable and I cannot recommend Wirt & Associates services enough! Thank you so much!"

- Ryan Shelton, T-4 Paraplegic, ASIA C
"I have worked with Susan for over fifteen years and have found her to be a tremendously valuable asset when I am evaluating and presenting medical issues, both in the personal injury arena and even in certain criminal matters where medical issues have risen as part of the defense at trial or for sentencing. Her knowledge, evaluation skills and resources are invaluable, as is her relationship with and knowledge of the medical community. Susan prepares fair and objective life care plans for those cases where they are appropriate, she knows how to evaluate a case for necessary physician referral or other healthcare treatment and she identifies weaknesses and strengths in each case with appropriate insight and detail. She is a very confident and knowledgeable witness when testifying, whether in trial or deposition, and she presents well to both judges and juries She has been of a great resource during several cases which were in mediation where her superb knowledge of vast medical records and history was crucial during stages of that process regarding our being able to respond to specific medical issues raised by the defense with the judge/mediator. I highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for an excellent legal nurse consultant, case manager and/or life care planner."

- Harry F. Bosen, Jr., Attorney at Law
"When you are involved in an accident as I was with multiple injuries, it is easy to become overwhelmed with all that needs to be taken care of during and after rehab. I needed an advocate- a Case Manager- and she came through. She sincerely had my best interests at heart and gave me excellent and generous accommodations. There can be discrepancies in health care and she attempted to keep all the professions on the same page for me. Susan has a gift to make people laugh and I laughed when I most needed it. My husband -also involved in my direct care- has respect for Susan, describing her as “no nonsense”, professional, compassionate, and thorough. Even my employer had positive comments on her behalf. I nicknamed Susan, "Wonder Woman" because she did "wonders" for me."

- D. Lloyd, Multiple Trauma/Traumatic brain injury survivor
"With Susan's years of practical experience in case management, she has earned the respect of medical providers which enables her to meet with them as peers and obtain the necessary information to make proper decisions in medical management."

- R. Ratliff, Field Claims Manager, Cincinnati Insurance Co. (ret.)
"Susan worked as Case Manager for my husband after his traumatic brain injury in October 1999. She was a saving grace for me. Her expertise and knowledge helped me through some very rough times. Just being there for me helped me through many of these times. She was always there with ideas and guidance and just a listening ear if that was all I needed. I commend her for all she does."
