Thank you!

Divorce is never easy...however I am very thankful for Ms. Suzanne and her team who helped me through the process! Throughout my divorce they were professional and compassionate. Any issues that arose were handled in a timely manner. My calls & emails were always returned. That meant a lot. I would... highly recommend Ms. Suzanne to anyone. May God continue to bless you, Matt, and Ms. Sandy.

Divorce and Spousal Support

I've had Suzanne Sabol to represent me twice. In both cases she was right there with me all the way. Both cases were very emotional and she went thru all my ups and downs. I would and have referred her to other people and I wouldn't hesitate to have her there by my side again. Thank you Suzanne. ...Deborah

Former divorce client 1-2 years ago

I agree with the other negative comments regarding Suzanne's failure to communicate (but charges for every phone call, email and minute spent on her.) She rarely reads your emails, which is why she doesn't address them. When you meet to discuss the topics which are imperative to you, she says, "oh ...yeah! I'll take care of that and get back with you. You trust me, don't you?" Then the cycle starts again. Suzanne is quick to tell you she won't charge for some "favor", but don't believe that for a nano second! Be SURE to double check her billing! As far as fighting for what you're wanting, Suzanne isn't the attorney needed for that! She fights for what works best for her and then says "oh it's ok, really. It's not that bad." Divorce is hard enough, but having an attorney who exploits your trust, the little money you have, and negatively affects your life makes the process even more traumatizing and damaging. DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY! She'll speak with maple syrup oozing from her lips, but she's got dollar signs in her eyes and absolutely zero concern for your well being.

Trash..

Single dad hires to get custody of my 2 girls from a drug addicted mother. Won that battle for 8 grand.. 2 years later hired again because mother wanted visitation rights. Mother was in a rehab center. She wanted full visitation rights. Chapter 22. I tried to fight against that.. Susan would say we w...on't go there it's to much time.. Then when we walk into court it was a different story.. She would say. Your on top of the pyramid don't do anything to hurt that.. She would side with mother.. Long story short.. Mother would say what her plans were and Susan knew she would be moving into a different rehab location. Case was finally settled because I ran out of money 9 thousand later. Is what she dragged it out to. And I didn't even get child support... After case was over I called her because we were running into safety issues with kids and mother... Her response was well didn't she move into that rehab place.. I said yes you knew of this during court.. Her response was well I can't represent you anymore,i do probono work for that facility.. Shocked...... No wonder mother got things pushed for her..i should have been informed of this when mother informed in court... Instead Susan stole my money.. I should have been able to get another lawyer.. So if you have a case anything like this. Stay far far away.. Now have hired another lawyer..

Huge Mistake hiring Suzanne Sabol

I could not agree with the other reviews more. Ms. Sabol seemed very knowledgeable and pleasant, empathetic as well, so I hired her to pursue a child custody change. If she had told me I had no chance of winning, i would not have pursued this, and 2 1/2 years later I know better. She would not r...espond to my questions without getting $1000-$2000 payments. And i always had a negative balance! She was interested in money only. She could not handle the case when it got testy. At one point she sent a note saying she needed $3000 because the case was "spinning out of control". Her office act like professional bill collectors, constantly badgering for more money. I had to fire her about 1.5 years in and hire another attorney who handled and finished the case. she talked me into a GAL who was horrible, interested in only dragging the case out. She was a huge mistake.
