Gail Elizabeth Suhr

The communication is terrible, everytime you call the office and speak with the assistant the phone magically hangs up on you. They tell you to email because it’s the fastest way of communication but it’s very rare that they answer the email in a timely manor or answer the questions you asked. She wi...ll drop you for absolutely anything, in my personal experience she dropped me for asking 2 questions. In this circumstance, I emailed her asking two questions because I was unsure how to fill out some paperwork and she emailed me back with a motion to drop me as a client. She claims that her reputation is very important to her, yet from the minute I retained her services she’s been nothing but a money hungry, uneducated, rude individual. Lastly, do not expect anything to be done right the first time, and expect them to charge you over and over again for the same thing that should have only had to do once. Do not hire Gail Suhr unless you like wasting your time and money.

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.

After consulting with many attorneys in the surrounding area, and finding no comfort, or confidence in any, I was referred to Gail. She immediately put my fears to rest. She is courageous, confident, and understanding. Most of all, she has fought for me. The last two years, I have been granted a lon...g term PFA, which honestly, has probably not only saved my life, but sanity as well. We have endured a nasty custody battle, and divorce. When I thought there was no hope, Gail brought me back to light. She is very responsive via e-mail, which is what I prefer. However, if there is a pressing issue, or question, and I need to call the office, I am answered almost immediately. If you are looking for an attorney who is willing to fight for you, no matter how difficult the case may be, Gail is the one for you.

From the first moment I stepped in her office to discuss our custody case I knew everything would be fine. She is very knowledgeable and whenever I would contact her regarding any issues, I always got a response and what the options would be. I felt very confident with Attorney Suhr by our side. ...We had a very happy outcome and I would highly recommend Attorney Suhr.
