Very unprofessional

Would not recommend her. Crazy personal stories! Didn’t have a license to practice law when she took me as a client ( oui charge). Introduced herself as “a mess in a dress” I would agree. Did not perform her duties as a lawyer. I’m out the money that I paid her and the time lost. Now seeking a... new lawyer. Stay away!!!

Excellent and was nearly destroyed by small town politics in york Maine where I believe she resides

I was on vacation in york Maine and was out with my family when I was stopped and arrested for OUI DRUGS. I received Suzanne's name from a friend in Massachusetts who stated "suzanne saved my life because she really cares about justice." She is a brilliant caring knowledgeable attorney and person sh...e handled my matter prepared for trial and it was dismissed. I am a 61 year old school teacher. We talked a bit after my case and I leaned what happened to cause such horrible things to be written about her online and her past suspension from law in Maine. She went through a horribly abisivr divorce after her father died and a couple of bad police officers and her ex had her arrested jailed for over three months for a breath test of .00 in one matter. She does not even drink but she did say she had some drinks during that six months and should have never given her enemies that power. I know this is long but she has been treated so unfairly even after her reinstatement. Somebody told me on our court date she was terrible. A state of Maine probationer. Something very wrong was done to this attorney and i had to speak up.

She is a basket case

I hired this attorney and would not recommend her to anyone, in the 5 court dates i had she showed up to 2 of them, and did nothing for me i have since hired another lawyer to handle my case and i am out the money that i gave her. Hope there isnt anyone else out there who lost there money to this per...son cause she sucks. Sorry to say this.

attorney review

She was very adept at the law and explained it to me so I could understand it. Very easy to talk to and down to earth. Returned my calls promptly. Good disposition in my case.

Reprimand issued in ME, 2019

Suspension issued in ME, 2013

updated on 11/05/2015

This means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.
