Professional and Compassionate

Suzanne has helped me through one of the most difficult and challenging times in my life. She represented me through a difficult paternity case and she expressed genuine concerns and was very emphatic towards my situation. She advised me on how to navigate through all the confusing legal matters. It ...was so overwhelming but she assured me that we'll get through it. Suzanne is a very busy person and I wasn't always able to reach her at times but she always returned my calls, emails, and text messages on the same day including weekends. She's a good listener and will fight for what's best for you and your child. I look forward to working with her again if I should need legal services in the future.

Excellent Attorney!

I have found Suzanne Williams to be an excellent choice for an attorney. She is knowledgable, caring, and trustworthy. She has promptly returned every phone call I have made and answered all of my questions professionally and with wisdom that comes with her years of experience. I highly recommend ...her.

Simply the best!!

When I was in a very bad place in my life, I needed the right attorney to help me put my life back in order when my husband told me that he wanted a divorce. We had three kids together and I didn't know anything about divorce, alimony, custody, etc. The best decision I made was to hire Suzanne. Sh...e actually listened to my needs and made sure that I was well taken care of. She returned all of my phone calls promptly, even after hours. She went to bat for me against my husband's attorney and it felt great to have her as my advocate. I recommend her to anybody going through what I went through, a nasty divorce. She is the best and I owe her for the rest of my life!!

Above and beyond!!

First of all, I explained that I just could not afford the fee; she offered $50 off per hour! I was greatful (and accepted) as Suzanne explained in detail exactly what my retainer was for and how fast it would be eaten up and why and then gave me an accurate estimate of what my particular case was go...ing to cost. Secondly, Suzanne being in such demand ( I looked up her success rate) explained that she gives ALL her clients equal attention; that if I did not hear back from her immediately, the only reason was that she physically could not! Suzanne returned my calls and emails as late as 10 pm and weekends!! What other family attorney works nights and weekends for someone, especially someone with a discounted hourly rate!? I felt like I was her main priority!! Yes Suzanne is EXTREMELY busy and hardly ever answered the phone when I called(wich was often). But I always recieved an immediate email telling me when she would and could call and she did! In court, Suzanne was professional but a PIT BULL!! I have heard rumors that people she has gone up against in court and beaten, have actually recomended her! She is that good!!

I have been practicing for almost 17 years and have never had someone complain to me about not being professional. I am, and have always been, forthright with all my clients to prepare them for all possible outcomes regarding the many issues often involved in complicated family law cases, whether it is favorable to their case or not. Every client deserves to know the truth about their case, whether good or bad. However, some clients, such as this one can not deal with hearing the truth. I ALWAYS return calls, emails and texts within 12 hours of the call, including nights and weekends. Unfortunately, family law cases have many complicated issues and we always strive to get the best results on each of those issues. However, there are things that clients do that can negatively affect the results of their own case. The client who posted this negative review is an example of one of those.
