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 ...

Susan is a top of the line attorney, who fights for you at every turn. She is easy to talk to and helps you understand the scope of your case.

I have hired Susan on two occasions and had more than excellent results on both. She was very imformative on consequence, law, and actions I must take to better my situation. Pertaining to my first case I had all my charges lowered and was granted court supervision. Unfortunately, I found myself in a...
"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."
