About Suzanne

Biography

Assisting people with life changes is what I enjoy doing and excel at.

Statistically, married couples in the United States have a 50% divorce rate.

Comprehensive estate planning is recommended to avoid the probate process.

Family law covers any legal issue involving children and families.

The best resolution to any divorce is one that the parties can agree on.

Modification Case

Suzanne and Kelly are both wonderful. They far succeeded my expectations. Both Kelly and Suzanne are extremely knowledgeable. They made things so easy and comfortable. Suzanne was amazing in court and represented me and fought for me as if this was about her own life. I will never choose any other la...wyer. Suzanne and Kelly are like family now. Thank you both for everything!

Compassionate Attorney

When I met with Suzanne it was obviously a heartbreaking time for me and she 100% took the time to listen intently, provide compassionate responses and really made me feel as if she was on my side. I would highly recommend Suzanne.

Great lawyer

Suzanne is a great lawyer to have on your side should you need legal advice and/or help. I found her many years ago and have used her service for years now. She's is also a compassionate person who cares about her clients.

Wonderful lawyer

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Suzanne. She called me immediately when I was in a panic or just needed advice. She is a lawyer who truly cares and listens to every detail and gives you advice without being judge mental. I could go on and on about how amazing Suzanne is as a person a...nd a lawyer! You won’t regret using her, that I promise.

Fair and Honest

I worked with Suzanne during a very complicated and nasty divorce case. She was extremely understanding and patient throughout the entire process. The case extended out for almost 2 years get all the loose ends tied up. Despite so rough patches and difficulty days Suzanne kept her composure and was e...ncouraging. Thank you for all your hard work, time and effort. I would high recommend Suzanne for any family type legal case.

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.
