Gail Elizabeth Suhr

I had a support order from Allegheny County for seventeen years. The order was to terminate in December 2018. As this date started to approach I contacted Allegheny County DRS on what I should do to prepare for this. They told me that I would be contacted via email and paper work would sent to me. ...Nothing of the sort was happening and this was a common theme with my past experiences with the DRS and Family Services. A week before the order was to end I received a message from Allegheny County that I had to file for a modification. I did as instructed. A few days later I had court order and I could do this over the phone due to each party lived outside the county. This raised my suspicions and I quickly Lawyer-ed up. I contacted Ms Suhr's office and had a meeting the next day. I brought all the information I had to her a told her about how I have been out right lied and deceived by the court for years. Ms Suhr was very patient and took the time for me to explain my Kafkaesque history with dealing with the DRS. She took on my case and quickly had a plan of action that made me very pleased. The day of the phone hearing came and it was a three ring circus from the start. The court official didn't have any of my information or an idea of what was going. The other party couldn't be reached. We got switched to several different people and in the end the termination became a continuation of the existing order. Before the phone was hung up Gail and her staff had a counter plan and put it in action before I left her office. Sixty days later we had to appear in court. This is when I realized I hired the right people. The associate of her's who spoke on behalf shot down every bit of BS that came our way . Her performance was almost Shakespearean compared to the weak preparation the court put forth. Even the judge had a small and sharp criticism of this sham. Not only did Ms Suhr's staff get the order terminated but also got me a refund of the last three payments returned to me. At that moment years of pain and anger left me. This ghost had been exorcised from my world. In short if Ms Suhr and company were the crew of the Titanic would that ship still be a float.
