In today's times there are a lot of grandfamilies that are having a difficult time supporting their grandchildren especially if on a limited income.I was having issues getting the benefits I feel my grandson deserved. With me having temporary guardianship of my grandson at this time, Suzanne helped me get in touch with the proper people and support so I could qualify for the same benefits as a foster parent through the kinship care program.
Suzanne was a god send during a difficult transition in my life when I needed her legal help. She not only made it as painless as possible but went over and above to make sure my family was okay. I can’t recommens her enough!!!

Fantastic BK Attorney
We had no idea how or what to do in the bankruptcy process. Suzanne and her team walked us through every step of the process (handling the vast majority of it for us), and was extremely patient with all of my questions. Once we finalized the contract for her services, everything was filed very quickly. Would not hesitate to reccomend her and her team. They really made a very difficult and embarassing process easy.

Highly recommended
We received a debt collection letter for $24,000 nearly 7 years after our condo sold in foreclosure. We were sure we didn't owe the mortgage holder anything and turned to Mrs. Klok for help. She handled our case quickly, professionally and to our complete satisfaction. We were impressed by her correspondence with the debt collection agency and felt she understood our situation and respected us as clients.

No Doubt We Will Be Using Suzanne Again!
Suzanne & The Klok Law Firm are helpful, responsive, available, and fair.
We have used Suzanne & Rhett at the Klok Law Firm for advise and guidance in both Real Estate and Business (Contract Litigation) matters.
On several occasions Suzanne and her staff were instrumental in handling our Real Estate closing transactions of various types and amounts.
No doubt we will be seeing them again in the near future.

Thumbs up for a GREAT Attorney
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Suzanne and the Klok Law Firm. Everyone in the office was very welcoming and concerned about me as a person and not just another "client" or "number". If I need legal advise in the future, I certainly will use them again as my attorney.

Suzanne Klok
Suzanne has always been responsive to my requests, and also helped clients of mine on occassion. While my requests are relatively simple, such as real estate closings, my clients have had other needs such as litigation for breach of contract, employment issues, and the like

Highly Recommended!
Ms. Klok represented us in a very stressful situation that took 2 years to come to a conclusion. She was responsive, professional, informative, and straightforward with costs. The words 'life saver' come to mind! I highly recommend Ms. Klok, in fact, there are not enough accolades to describe my experience of being represented kindness, while the 'other guy' faced fierceness!

Incredibly responsive
Suzanne has helped me with 5 closings. Im no "daisy" to work with but she has been incredibly available to me within minutes EVERY time. I would question using anyone else. Very affordable too (my main criteria!)

Completely Incompetent
Suzanne briefly represented my (still) wife and completely messed things up. She did not file the financial declaration, did not file a Motion to Relieve Counsel, and did not respond to or forward information from the scheduler about setting a court date. Because of her failure to do these basic things, my divorce continues to drag on.

Horrendous
I set up an appointment for a phone consultation. I had to wait a week for that consultation. I received a text at the appointment time. I called them and they said I would get a call back from the attorney. I called a second time and was told the attorney was getting my case file and would call me back. Never called. I called a third time and they hung up on me. The only person I would recommend this attorney to is my wife that I am separated from at this time.
