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.

an honest attorney

Suzanne is a straight forward, no-nonsense type of person...she shoots you straight and does not pull any punches. She just lays the options out there for you and explains each so you can make the best decision for you. Extremely knowledgeable about the law...would hire her again in a heartbeat shoul...d I ever need too!!

The Best!

I was referred to Suzanne by a close friend who had hired her. My friend was extremely happy with Suzanne and her staff. I immediately felt confident with Suzanne upon my first meeting with her and hired her right away. Suzanne and her team are professional, friendly and always available for their ...clients. I highly recommend Suzanne and the Henrickson Law Group to anyone and everyone in need of an expert domestic case attorney.

An attorney for the long haul

I hired Suzanne to handle my divorce eight years ago. Since then she has remained by my side through several modifications. She never fails to provide honest advice and fights as hard for me today as she did eight years. The most important thing I have gained through almost a decade of ups and downs ...is the peace of mind that no matter what my ex throws at me, I can count on Suzanne.

A consummate professional!

I was referred the counsel of Suzanne Henrickson by Sarah McCormick attorney at law when I needed a good attorney for my Contested Child Support review back in 2016. She was thorough, well prepared and hands down dealt with representing my children in the most effective way in court. I immediately fe...lt that she had my back and understood completely what we were dealing with. In the end, the judge ruled in favor of the state recommendation for child support guidelines in our case and took a no nonsense approach with my ex husband and his attorney. She knows her stuff! She is tough and smart and you want those qualities in an attorney. I also felt that her retainer was fair and that she was not in it for what some attorneys charge. I’d consider her again in a heartbeat for any family law cases!

She’s awesome!

Every question that I had, Suzanne jumped on it and was able to get back to me in a very timely manner as well as helping me through the entire divorce process. Not just as a lawyer but as someone to talk to as well.

  • 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.
