Divorce Case

I was given Suzanne's name from a friend who highly recommended her to me through the military. I reached out to Suzanne and she was a tremendous help. She handled all my divorce affairs with ease. Suzanne was always on top of what needed to be done and always kept me abreast of what steps that we...re being taken to resolve the issue(s) we had encountered during my divorce. Suzanne was always professional, provided guidance on many occasions and committed to helping me as her client. I would highly recommend Suzanne as your attorney.

Doesn't listen, rude

Met with Suzanne on a family legal issue. First, her assistant asked for payment upfront before Suzanne would meet with me. I paid. I tried to explain to Suzanne the issue and she said, "I'm not your therapist". I was astonished! Granted, it's a family issue and therefore requires explanation, but th...at level of rudeness is not only unprofessional, but in my opinion unethical as well. Asking her about another legal aspect she told me, "You should know that". Again, I was completely shocked. At that point I decided to stand up to what I consider her abuse and said, "well, that's why I'm coming to you. You're the legal expert here, right?" Long story short, Suzanne informs me she doesn't litigate anymore, in case the issue had to be taken to court. So I paid her $250 to basically be insulted. I had told her assistant on the first call that the case would probably go to court. They should have said upfront she doesn't litigate.
