Suzanne is terrific! She is exactly what you are looking for in a family lawyer: hightly knowledgable and experienced AND compassionate and understanding when dealing with sensitive family issues. Suzanne helped us set up our trusts and create a Special Needs Trust for my disabled family member. S...he made a visit to our home to walk our family through all the complicated steps of our arrangements. We give her our highest possible recomendation.

Suzanne is amazing. She has/was always been very helpful in patiently explaining the complex issues related to our Estate Planning process. She guided us swiftly and cheerfully through setting up a Living Trust and Will and gave us great peace of mind in doing so. Our situation had a variety of uniqu...e characteristics, that and all seemed to be a matter of course for her. What answers she didn't know off the top of her head, she returned back to us as soon as it was practical to do so; with thorough and well thought out answers. At times we were unable to convene with her but she kept us on track and well informed of where we stood, despite some long lapses in our availability to meet with her. I would highly recommend her in any of her areas of expertise and continue to refer other clients to her. We plan on returning to her for future counsel in other matters. She is the perfect balance of an accessible, affable Lawyer combined with exceedingly professional expertise.

I have known Suzanne for the past one and a half years. My husband died in a motorcycle accident in June 2011. As can be expected, it was the most devastating thing that hit our family. He was healthy and 48 years ago. And in a second, he was gone! I had no clue what to do. Luckily, Suzanne rush...ed (literally) to my rescue in my dazed state. She went through all my husband's paperwork; we found out that he had not written a proper will and estate management. The first thing she did was to set about doing that. She sent the papers and forms to all pertinent people and set my accounts straight with the people my husband was dealing with. As I was the only other parent for the children (who were 14, 15, and 16 years of age), she encouraged me to write my will in case anything happened to me. I did that immediately. She helped with the wording and gave her advice about pertinent things to do, especially for the kids. In addition, my 16 year old son was suffering from a very bad form of bone cancer and we knew he would not live too long. She made a Trust for him; when he turned 18 years of age, she made him write a will, too, to make sure that everything of his was properly taken care of. Suzanne is just a beautiful person, inside and out. She is very professional, knows her stuff better than most lawyers, gets things done in a timely manner, is very good with follow-up. She has nerves of steel when dealing with people who may not always be polite or who tend to be aggressive. She is an intellectual who has helped me deal with a wide variety of issues--from making the wills, making trusts, helping with the finances. You name it, she is there. On top of that, she has a super heart. She does everything with real love and you can see the care she exudes. I am so grateful to have Suzanne as my lawyer and as my friend. Her help is invaluable.

We worked with Suzanne to develop an advanced directive and will. It was a pleasure working with her -- she was helpful, very well-informed, thoughtful, and understanding of our needs. She was able to lead us through the process with clear instructions and had obviously done her homework before we ...arrived so that the process was efficient, with minimal back and forth. She has developed a very specific approach to writing advanced directives that reduces ambiguity and provides tremendous reassurance that our wishes will be fulfilled. She dispelled some misconceptions we had about wills and trusts in a respectful, courteous and patient manner, without ever making us feel awkward or uncomfortable. We absolutely trust her judgment and her recommendations which are provided with a commendable balance of professionalism and warmth.
