Committed and Compassionate

Suzanne has represented me for over 6 years through my divorce and post divorce issues. She took on a very complex case and worked tirelessly to make sure that the facts were told and presented professionally. She guided me through the entire lengthy process. Though we faced challenges, Suzanne did n...ot falter in her persistence to advocate on my behalf. I am very grateful to have her as my lawyer. If you want results, I highly recommend Suzanne!

Highly recommend

I have been fortunate to have Suzanne as my attorney for several years. I have reached out to her several times regarding divorce and post divorce concerns. She has always responded to me the same day or the next business day. I feel that I can trust her to provide me with sound advice. Suzanne i...s easy to talk to and shows compassion for what my family and I are going through. She takes a personal interest in getting to know me and to understand my situation. Her knowledge about family law is outstanding. Suzanne has been so helpful, and I appreciate all she has done to get me through some tough times. I would highly recommend Suzanne for anyone needing legal assistance.

Went above and beyond!

Suzanne helped my husband and I through a very difficult contested adoption, lasting over two years. She went above and beyond to keep our child's best interests front and center. She had amazing contacts and referrals to other professionals that greatly helped our case. She stayed in contact with... us throughout the entire two years, including scheduling face to face meetings to go over updates and just generally check in on our well-being. Without her sheer determination and dedication to our case, we probably would not have won. Her preparation for the trial and the way she presented our case was truly inspiring. You never know how much work your attorney does behind closed doors until you see them in action- Suzanne will NOT disappoint! Suzanne's work has given us peace of mind that our child will continue to have the best life possible and we can not thank her enough.

Knowledgeable, hard working & fierce!

I hired Suzanne about 5 years ago for a custody battle. It has been a long and terrible process but she has been amazing through it all! Great communication! Emails and phone calls are always returned. She never gives me false hope, always tells me it could go either way and yet she has brought me vi...ctory every single time we have gone to court. My son is now 6 years old and I honestly don’t know if he would be alive today without Suzanne’s knowledge, hard work and fierce dedication. She won supervised visitation for my son and his father. When we had a judge who was very bias for the other party and gave us an illegal ruling, Suzanne participated in an appeal that we also won. She won the court’s approval for my son to go to an amazing school and for us to finally relocate. I feel so lucky that I found her! She is a busy lady but has always made me feel that we are important and a priority to her, especially my son. She told me when I first hired her that his best interest is what she would fight for, not mine. I thought it seemed funny at the time. Listening to the other party’s attorney over the years as she argued that children are resilient and therefore my son is fine to be with his father unsupervised. I couldn’t help but remember what Suzanne said to me when I first hired her. I wish all attorneys were like Suzanne. She’ll work hard for you and you won’t be disappointed. I can’t say enough good things about her. This woman is amazing. Look no further, this is who you want to fight for you.

Excellent Family Lawyer, Highly Recommend

Suzanne Wagner is an amazing, highly knowledgeable, and highly experienced lawyer. I am grateful for having her in my corner during the toughest divorce process. My case was complex that involved issues in the US and abroad, so the process of divorce was challenging. But I was supported and guided ev...ery step of the way by Suzanne, she responded to all my questions and concerns timely and patiently, she took consideration for any condition I had. She always stood up for my position and represented me with strength and professionalism. She managed to settle my case out of court and helped me get the desired results. I appreciated her wise counsel and support in my divorce process. She changed my life and gave me the courage to move on and rebuild my life. I hereby recommend Suzanne without reservation.
