Money maker

Very expensive especially if you want to communicate with her. Never had a one on one face to face conversation until the actual court date. Unprepared then very Rude. She's about taking care of number one , herself. She's knowledgeable in law however she is more concerned for her pocket book Beware!...

My chihuahua could have done a better job

refused to talk to me or see me, made some big mistakes that other attorneys say are inexcusable, not always prepared, poor reputation locally, often rude

I apologize, but I do not recognize the situation you are referencing. Please call and come into the office. I particularly want to discuss what big mistake you feel I made and why you think I have a poor reputation locally.

A Compassionate Professional Law Firm

Working with Suzanne & Piper was a very good experience for me. My ex wife told me one day that "she was not married to me for 17 years for no reason and that she was taking everything from me." That being said I knew that I needed the best law firm to handle my year long case might I add with no c...hildren. My case went to trial and let me just say that Suzanne is the one you want on your side during a court room trial. She knows just the right questions to ask. Suzanne & Piper make a very excellent team they are very organized and very thorough. If your pationate about what you want, keep in mind you need to work with them both and at the end you will probably get what you want. Her staff Lori & Dottie are very nice ladies as well and very inviting when visiting their offices. Some may say this law firms billing is high. All I can say is you get what you pay for and I'm very glad I chose this lawfirm because they got me what I wanted at the end of the day. I'm very happy with the results and outcome of this very long trial and can't Thank them all enough.

Really smart lady

I will give Ms. Snell a rating of 2 1/2 on a scale of one to five. Ms. Snell is one of the smartest lawyers I know. And very comfortable with the judges, which is important. Ms. Snell was one of the first to pick up on the newish trend of the courts in support of extreme father's rights. However,... if you are a mother and you hire Ms. Snell, I want to warn you, her other best talent is accruing hours. She does not care about you or her kids. She solicited conflict in my case. I have to admit, in the end, she had a case in mine that couldn't fail, despite the extreme father's persistence. But she dragged our conflict on, through insufficient and incomplete agreements and tolerence of father's mischief , for almost twenty years. This is a woman who knows how to make money.

Eric van schuyver

I was a single father with joint custody and my ex wife wasn't doing the best decisions for my children Mrs Woodrow looked over my case and for the next few months my whole future was in her hands and with her consulting and advice she won me full custody of my two kids and they are both teenagers no...w and we are still going strong I would recommend her to everyone
