Best attorney in the Macomb, IL area

Simply put, Susan is a phenomenal attorney! She truly cares about her clients, giving them honest advice. She is very upfront and easy to communicate with. This is my second time hiring her and she is always my go to attorney in Macomb. She is the best!

Fantastic Lawyer!

Susan was an absolutely phenomenal choice for my legal council! She was diligent and thorough every step of the way. I am very grateful to have found such a genuine and knowledgeable lawyer to help me through my case. I highly recommend Ms. Stambaugh to anyone, and everyone, needing legal assistance ...in the area. Thanks again Susan!

Wonderful

I couldn't say enough good things about Susan. I am from out of town and had a run in with the police while attending Western Illinois. I needed to find a lawyer who could expunge my record. She made the whole process painless. She walk me through the whole process, and let me know what to expect. I ...literally didn't have to do anything besides sign. She made sure to keep in contact with me and let me know what was going on. She was not like some other lawyers that when you pay them you don't hear nothing from them. Another thing I couldn't forget was how kind and caring Susan was on the phone. I would highly recommend Susan to any friends and family!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Susan has been practicing in this area since before I arrived. She is quite familiar with court staff, state attorneys and judges. Based on personal knowledge, Susan is diligent in returning client calls and cares about the results she gets for her clients. She charges less than the law firms in the area and is honest and upfront with her clients about their legal situation and what the client can expect. She has lots of experience representing students and is attentive to their (often unique) needs."

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 15

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"While working as a prosecutor in McDonough County, I worked with Attorney Susan Stambaugh as a defense attorney. There were several occasions when Susan would complete additional investigation on behalf of her clients. Susan would recreate a crime scene in a police report, meet with witnesses, obtain witness statements, and then ultimately provide all of that additional evidence to the prosecution. Susan would ensure that she always had documentation to back up her position and argument. Susan advocates for her clients relentlessly. Susan would provide mitigating evidence regarding her clients background and experiences. I have listened to Susan speak with clients before and she is very upfront about what her representation includes and her expectations for that relationship."
