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!

Macomb's finest

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. She lets you know all possible outcomes and tells you exactly what she is going to do to make the best one happen. I had false accusations against me, and she... was able to get them dismissed quickly and expunged. She helped me make sure I had a job at the end. I am thankful for Susan, she cares and wants the best for you and your future.

Excellent Expierence

Finding Susan Stambaugh to work on my case was truly a blessing. She is passionate about the work she does. She puts you and your case first. She works hard for a reasonable price. Through her hard work and dedication she uncovered the proving evidence of my innocence. Resulting in all charges, being... brought against me, dismissed. I highly recommend Susan L. Stambaugh to anyone in need of an attorney in the Macomb, IL., area.

Excellent!!

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... bind again and called Susan right away. She worked very hard on the case and got it dismissed. She saved me from losing my license for over a year. I am very thankful for her and would recommend her to anyone in need of legal services.

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."

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."
