Mind like a steel trap

Ms Fanning worked diligently,expediently, and professionally preparing briefs, writing rebuttals, writing interrogatories and depositions questions that were on point. I would recommend her to anyone needing probate work. She was easy to work with and very bright.

Extremely knowledgeable

Couldn't have asked for better counsel. I especially liked that she explained the whole legal process as this was the first legal case I have been involved with. Very knowledgeable in the areas of a Trust being contested. She is a great litigator. Comes to court prepared. Gave us options to... save us money. Gives personal attention to her cases. Knows the personalities in the legal community in the area, which is very important to know the lawyer you are fighting against and the judge who is presiding. Doesn't waste time or billable hours. Knows what it takes to win a case. Seems hard to say these days about lawyers but I feel she is an honest lawyer with ethics.

Competent & Kind

Suzy helped my husband and me with some sensitive problems with the settling of my father's estate. Suzy was warm and understanding about the difficulty of the situation. Not only did she address all of the issues with great competence, but she was also a pleasure to work with!

Great first meeting!

After the passing of my father, I was overwhelmed with the amount of paper work that he had left behind. After following the winding trail of a friend, of another friend's recommendation (who was no longer in practice), I came upon the number of Suzanne. Even though she was on vacation, she was sti...ll working in her office. She met with my sister and myself the very evening we called. Suzanne looked over the paperwork and gave us several options of how to proceed. She was very kind and knowledgable, making us both feel at ease. She laid out all of the paperwork we would need based on our father's financial situation at the time of his death. While this first meeting was just a consultation, we both left feeling more informed and having a clearer direction of how to proceed. As we dove deeper into the estate, we found that we will indeed need a lawyer to help us, so Suzanne will be our first choice!

I was so lucky to find Suzanne

I needed a lawyer to help with the guardianship process for my two autistic children since they are turning 18 and my job currently keeps me out of state. I emailed and called several law firms that worked in this area of the law. Most reply's were impersonal, take out a second mortgage on your house... and we will talk. Then there was Suzanne. She was kind, patient and very knowledgeable about the court we would be dealing with. She answered all of my phone and email questions like this case was important. She dealt with all the paperwork expertly and in court secured full guardianship for me when the court was pressing for only partial. And amazingly, Suzanne did it all for a fee that was so reasonable for my family that I could not thank her enough. If you need a lawyer in this area of the law I would highly recommend contacting her.
