Outstanding experience
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sue at Hankins Legal. I had the misfortune of finding myself needing legal representation for a wrongful death suit on behalf of my mother. Sue hit the ground running with my case. I discovered very quickly that I had found a detail-oriented and critical thinker who went above and beyond what I expected. Her compassion and empathy was evidence that I wasn’t just another name on her client list. She was quick to respond to calls and e-mails and always kept me up to date where we were in each phase of the case. I highly recommend Hankins Legal because I saw firsthand the tremendous amount of work that was expended on my behalf. And she won my case!

Excellent and responsive professional.
Working with Susan Hankins was a pleasure. Developing a will and accompanying documents is not necessarily a pleasant experience but an important one. Ms. Hankins is very professional and responsive to any question and her expertise was very much appreciated. Our communication was timely and the overall process seamless.

Great small business lawyer
Setting up an LLC was daunting but Susan made it easy for me, giving me confidence and peace of mind from the start. She patiently walked me through the steps for getting a business license, a Tax ID, and the other requirements for making my LLC compliant. I am glad to have her on my team! I only have to worry about what I know, my business.

A good experience during a tough time
I called Sue looking for guidance with divorce. She was straight-forward and gave me the information I needed to get a handle on my situation. Professional, direct, and quick. A very good experience.

Great Contract Work
I have a small consulting business, and Susan helped me develop a contract with a major customer. She listened carefully to the issues I brought to her, and produced a clear and concise contract from the jumble that had been proposed. My customer even praised Susan’s work, and agreed to the contract without further modification. I could not be happier with the value she provided!

Highly recommend Susan Hankins!
After my mother in law passed, we were unaware that the will must be probated. I contacted Susan on Friday morning and by Monday morning I had the necessary paperwork to begin the probate process. The will was probated quickly, and we were able to close on my mother-in-law's house in a timely manner. She was also able to provide us quickly with an EIN which was necessary when selling the house. She answered all my numerous questions. Susan was extremely helpful and patient with me and my family during this time!

Sue is relatable and intelligent. I came to her for advice on a divorce, and she gave me the information I needed to move forward and plan. She looked out for my best interests and was not judgmental.

Highly recommended
After agonizing for a couple of years about end of life decisions and provision for my heirs, I finally contacted Ms. Hankins. I am disabled and she made everything simple and easy for me. She had a depth of knowledge, professionalism and expertise that were comforting and instilled my confidence in her. She is highly recommended by me.

Competent Advisor
Sue Hankins has provided me and my family excellent advice on several occasions regarding estate matters and probate. She has drafted wills and guided us through the probate process on two occasions. I also felt comfortable referring Sue to other family members when they needed legal advice. Sue is very service oriented and I would highly recommend her as a trusted resource for solid professional advice.

Highly recommended!
Sue helped us do our first will, power of attorney and health directives. She was very knowledgeable, showed expertise in regards to our needs, was super responsive, and very reasonably priced for services. She answered all our questions and made us understand surprisingly complex legal concepts. We were very impressed overall. We plan to ask for her help in all our future legal needs and are confident she would deliver in that regard.

A valuable partner or advisor
I have been fortunate to work with Sue for the last several years. Each and every time we have worked together Sue has always been patient, thorough, detail oriented and most importantly knowledgeable. She is a person who gets the job done and makes you feel confident while she’s doing it. With all that being said, I would highly recommend Sue for anybody that is looking for a valuable partner or advisor.
