She is a life savor!

Suzanne is the most kind hearted lawyer I have ever met. She truly cares about your situation and your back ground for your future. She will ask you tons of questions about you life in order to help solve your case. She listens to hear not just respond and works magic in the court room. We are truly ...blessed to have met her and the honor of her working my husbands case. Thank you for all you’ve done!

Credit Repair That Actually Works!

Years ago, as part of my divorce I granted my ex-wife the house that we bought together while married and she assumed responsibility for it. At some point she started paying her mortgage late and that eventually found its way to my credit report (some company called PHH). Since it had nothing to do w...ith me, I disputed the account and submitted my divorce decree that clearly shows she assumed responsibility and I no longer have any interest in the house etc. the dispute was denied and come back verified. Frustrating since I had nothing to do with it but at the time I assumed I was stuck with it because in the eyes of creditors I was still on the hook for the debt (the house wasn’t refinanced out of my name at the time). There are several 180 days late and they are the only baddies left on my report. All this brought down my credit score to 522. I can’t thank PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST enough for taking my credit out of the garbage after my divorce. PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST has done such an amazing job to help me clear all the negative items and restore my credit score to 811. This company has been so professional and so amazing at keeping in touch with me every single step of the way. Explaining in detail exactly what needs to be done. Thank you PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST I will recommend their service to all my friends and family. Contact them via: [email protected] / +1 (409) 231-0041.

Simply the Best !

If you want an attorney who will seek the best possible outcome for your case contact Suzanne Stevens ! She is the best attorney I have ever known bar none !! Be sure to read her plan process and goals on stevenstexaslaw.com. She made it work for me perfectly! She is available and reliable! I call...ed some firms here who took my info and said they would contact me. I never got to talk to an attorney. I called Ms Stevens and was able to have a 20 + minute interview with her right away after hours. I was truly impressed with the interview and hired her the next day. She is an excellent and compassionate communicator and listener! I had an extensive and productive life and case story in her office. She wants to know you as well as your case and this sets her apart ! It leads to her precise defense plan for you. She had me relaxed and at ease right away. Instead of feeling like another number being processed for court I felt like I was joining a team! The defense plan she recommends to you gets you started on recovering in advance and shows the state and court you want to do the right thing. An excellent tool! Suzanne has great experience and knows the law thoroughly! Her preparation with you and the case facts gives her the tools to fight the case for you and work to mitigate the state’s case. She is very experienced in this court which is another good point ! She gives you an honest possible outcome both good and not so good so you are well prepared ! She is on call and text for you and assists you to case conclusion and afterwards. Personal service at its best ! I will not hire another attorney after working with Suzanne Stevens.m ! She has resolved my case fairly and relieved me of many months of worry and stress. I will not forget her and relax knowing she is there for me !! She deserves my highest recommendation !!

Suzanne Stevens is the REAL DEAL

I got into some trouble in 2021, and the attorneys I had at the time kept dropping the ball. A friend of my recommended Attorney Suzanne Stevens and and she rescued me (literally). From the moment Suzanne took, she was there walking me through the trenches every step of the way. On the day I had to ...report to jail, she stayed in constant contact with my mom and even called to check up on me after my release (which was after hours). She has years of experience and is super knowledgeable of the legal system which put me at ease. I was able to turn my situation over to her and trust knowing that she was going to FIGHT the system for me. She does not cheat facts and is truthful about your situation and possible outcomes, which I greatly appreciated. Suzanne was RELIABLE. Attorneys have multiple caseloads at one time but any time I had a question or needed information she literally was just a text/call away. She never made me feel that I was just another case. There was even moment that time had elapsed (months) and even then I was able to reach out and she responded within the same day. GEM. That’s exceptional. Quality experience that you can trust. What she promised she DELIVERED and that says a lot. I’m happy to say that with Suzanne hard work and tenacity my case was dismissed! I can’t say thank you enough <3
