Made the entire legal process stress free

Suzanne called me back immediately after I submitted an inquiry online for a court case. I was stressed about the entire process but she made it so easy. Everything was handled I literally just had to pay her and show up to the court house. She worked behind the scenes to get my case dismissed and it... did. Thank you Suzanne for saving me from what could have been a career-changing mistake!

Shoplifting

The case was a huge mistake and she was amazing. I was in big trouble but she made it very clear what the potential results of the case could be. She also gave me clear instructions on what I would need to do and really helped me out. I was impressed with her ability to clearly convey the process and... potential outcomes and also her confidence. That’s what sold me in the beginning. She was incredibly confident in her ability to help me get the best outcome. In the end, my case was dismissed but she was amazing. I have a family friend who is a lawyer and always use him but his price was a littler higher and tried something new this time. I will 100% be using Mrs. Houle’s services in the future should the need arise and would recommend them to everyone.

Tireless Persistence and Success

Suzanne is tireless and incredibly effective while demonstrating superb professionalism. I has lost my cool and been unable to get through to MVA, but she had the insight and knowledge to get things accomplished. My issue? I was given a court order requirement that I could not comply with. I didn't h...ave a MD driver's license but had trouble in MD, so the state attorney ordered a driver improvement course with MVA standards. It was impossible because of not having the MD license. MVA and the driver improvement providers didn't know what to do with me. The result? After an additional hearing and previously posting more items to the judge, Suzanne got the judge to remove the nonsensical order. I am so indebted to her and am so thankful for her enduring persistence. Never willing to give up but finding the best solution, she goes WAY BEYOND any other attorney I have ever met.

Wonderful advocate

Suzanne was a wonderful defense attorney. She was timely and kept her word. She did a wonderful job understanding the case and advocating for me. She also helped me feel confident and supported during this process. It was so refreshing to find an attorney that I could trust.

Outstanding legal representation

Suzanne Houle represented my daughter in a criminal matter. From the beginning she gave us the very best representation. She handled a very dire emergency swiftly with favorable results. The end result of the case was also favorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. She maintained comm...unication with us throughout the case, always answering promptly any questions or concerns. She has been an angel in our lives. I cannot thank her enough for her hard work and dedication. She is without a doubt the best attorney and I am so glad that she represented my daughter. Thank you Suzanne Houle. You are an amazing attorney and a blessing.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
