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.

A Perfect Case

Suzanne handled a divorce case for my cousin. There were children involved and my cousin's spouse lived out of state. The divorce proceedings took place in Texas, and Suzanne took extra time to travel to Dallas for court dates. During the entire process, Suzanne was compassionate and patient. It... wasn't always easy shuffling papers and records across state lines and my cousin didn't have a great deal of money for the divorce. However, in the end my cousin got a very favorable settlement and all along the way Suzanne was there with great advice and counsel. She listened to my cousin's concerns and gave her comfort by being steady and professional every step of the way. Both my cousin and I are grateful for Suzanne's expertise.

Children's Well-Being

My husband and I were travelling out of country and leaving the care of our children to a relative. We worked with Suzanne to ensure the safety of our children in our absence as well as the care of our children in case we were unable to care for them(in case of death, missing, or accidents). Suzann...e was careful to cover all instances that we wouldn't be able to care for our children. She kept our needs at the forefront as well as the needs of our children. Suzanne was enjoyable and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Excellent family attirney

Ms. Woodrow provided my family with peace of mind by preparing legal documents to ensure custody rights of my grandchildren while their parents were out of the country. She was very thorough in her preparations and sought to resolve issues before they occurred. I appreciated her sensitivity as wel...l as her vast understanding of custody situations and legal ramifications.
