Suzanne Hailey Presley

We had the recent good fortune to meet Suzanne when my Aunt died, as she had worked up her will with Suzanne. We were having a difficult time dealing with everything for all of the usual reasons, but every time we met with Suzanne we left feeling informed and secure that we were in good hands. Suza...nne was professional, very knowledgable, and helped us to understand the process ahead of us. She was careful to inform us of, and explain any options that we had available to us, including the possible consequences of different choices. Suzanne was extremely patient with our many, many questions, and careful process of working things through, and we felt that we could speak very directly with her, and receive the same in response. Her compassion and good sense of humor, much appreciated in the situation, was an extra bonus, and I felt like I was dealing with a friend when working with her. Given that we were out of state, we had to do a lot of communication by email, and I have never before had someone respond so quickly to my questions. Suzanne went above and beyond helping us with everything that we needed, and was a pleasure to work with. We keep trying to talk her into moving to our state so we could have a lawyer that we both trust and like, but she has, unfortunately for us, declined the invitation. We highly recommend Suzanne to anyone needing legal help.

This was my first experience with a lawyer in a personal sense. (I've dealt with a number of lawyers in the business sense). The encounter came about following the death of my sister and I didn't know where to begin or how. Ms. Presley was both understanding and knowledgeable while being patient, kin...d and understanding at the same time. The problem was further exacerbated by having to do a significant fraction of the work from a distance of 2,000 miles. ( I wish that she practiced in California as well). She would be my number 1 pick for personal affairs in the legal sense.

Suzanne was the first lawyer that my wife and I met at the law firm we chose to draw up our Living Trust. She was very friendly, but we quickly realized that she was also very knowledgeable. She did a great job of making it all comprehensible. That was about five years ago, and since then I have bee...n back to the firm several times for business-related issues and financial planning, sometimes seeing Suzanne, other times seeing the firm's Partners. She represents them well. It is obvious that she is highly regarded and respected by her colleagues.
