her fees are reasonable and she understands when you are having to travel to Macomb for court so she makes sure things are handled wisely
"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."
"Ms. Stambaugh is an energetic, results oriented attorney who highly values her relationships with clients and who strives to achieve desirable outcomes for them. I was privileged to act as co-counsel with her. Her diligence and independence make her an ideal criminal defense lawyer."
"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."
