Compassionate, hard working and amazing!!

Suzanne is amazing person and lawyer! She helped us in a tough situation when we were from out of state, she worked quickly to ensure we returned to our family promptly. She was extremely compassionate and immediately jumped on the situation which had a huge impact on our lives. We truely felt like s...he cared and was there to help fight for what was right in a situation that should not have occured in the manner it did. It was amazing what Suzanne was able to do in such a short time for us, our lives would be very different right now if we would not have found someone so spectacular. We would highly recommend her to anyone, she will walk you through everything and put so much into the fight for you. Can't say enough about how great she is!!!

The person you want on your team

I retained/hired Suzanne Stevens March 2018. Suzanne is beyond a lawyer; she has been my teammate, advocate and my support source. She turned every leaf, and sought all avenues to fight for justice in my case. The hours, days, late nights, early mornings, weekends, holidays that she has put into my ...case is above and beyond what I could even have hoped for. She constantly made accommodations for me which struck me as incredibly considerate. For example, she would meet with me at 7pm so I did not have to miss work to drive up an hour to Denton, and would meet with me for however long it took for us to get through the material and investigating, sometimes till 11:30 pm. This is one example of the many ways Suzanne did more than I ever expected an attorney to do for me. As I saw first hand with my case, Suzanne’s actions and methods of law practice are carried out with integrity and absolute interest in justice. This struck me as remarkable and honorable. Suzanne proved herself an attorney I could trust in every way; in her day to day management of the case and protocols, in her insight and judgement, and in her thoroughness. We were not even halfway through my case when I knew I had someone I could rely on to make the best decisions for seeking justice in my case and in my life. There are very few people who endow a complete sense of relief and ease, and Suzanne has been one of those very few people in my life. She was always 5 steps ahead of the game, thought of - and prepared for - all possible approaches or outcomes. She guided me through every step of the way, regardless of the obstacles that came at us. Furthermore, Suzanne took her "job" far beyond being my legal advocate - I saw clearly that she wanted to ensure I grew as a person through the process. Suzanne made it very clear her level of awareness that she was guiding and fighting for more than a legal document with words typed on it to shuffle through a process, but rather the fate of my future and my life; she cared for me as an individual versus a number or a transaction. Regardless of the field of practice, these qualities are truly a rarity in my opinion. I am grateful beyond words for Suzanne's legal assistance, her hours of tedious, brain-frying, superb work, and especially for being the support, the rock, the guidance and the person I could trust through a painful situation. I recommend Suzanne Stevens as the best choice for an outstanding attorney defending you and your case.

Excellent Choice

Suzanne is phenomenal. From day one I felt that she was the right choice. I am not a Texas native, so I did not know any attorneys in the area. Suzanne is intelligent, and has been very professional with my individual case. I have worked for attorneys, so I know how they generally operate. She has be...en nothing but a blessing for me, and we got the absolute (rare) best outcome we could have anticipated. Suzanne is very easy to stay in touch with, and is willing to discuss matters anytime of the day. I originally dreaded the thought of hiring an attorney, but Suzanne has been incredible. Not only is she an excellent attorney, but is genuinely interested in the well being of her clients. Suzanne is very honest and I felt comfortable with her. Nothing but positive things to say about her.

The MOST caring and diligent attorney!!

Suzanne went above and beyond for our family. She fought hard for the best outcome. She is a very hard working and compassionate attorney that will go out of her way for clients. She's always available and will take the time to really listen and solve problems. She is extremely knowledgeable in all t...hat she does. She truly is a lifesaver and will not stop fighting for her clients. We HIGHLY recommend her if you are seeking a criminal defense attorney.

Beyond EXCELLENT

Suzanne deffinatly went beyond what she had to do to help me. I am on probation in tarrant county as well as denton county and she helped me out in both county's and always did exactly what she said she was gonna do. She comes up with a plan with you that is well thought out and she sticks to the pla...n and even goes beyond what most attorneys would do. I would recommend her to anyone. She isn't just your attorney, she becomes your friend. I'm so glad that I found and hired her.
