Estate Settlement

Susan was an amazing "guiding light" throughout the complex estate settlement and home sale after my mother's passing. She responded to an on-line inquiry to her firm and continued to handle all facets of this process most efficiently. I would recommend her to anyone seeking legal advice and counsel ...in her area(s) of expertise; a pleasure to work with as well.

An Attorney Who Cares...

Susan helped settle our mother's estate. It was a difficult time and she guided us through the process with amazing compassion and clarity. She handled all the details and explained the process of probate, notice to creditors, etc. She really helped with the burden of our mothers passing. If you'...re looking for help with a loved one's estate, call Ms. Hill.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
