So impressed!!

Suzanne was hired for me by my supervisor and I could not have been luckier! I had no exprerience with the court system prior to meeting Suzanne. She taught me all the processes of the court system and eased my nerves considerably. She researched my job to better understand my situation. She responde...d to all my calls, texts, and emails promptly. She even spoke with me on a Sunday afternoon for almost an hour giving legal advise for this situation and my future. Being accused of a serious crime that I did not commit was extremely stressful, but I always felt confident in Suzanne's abilities. Ultimately, she put together a wonderful grand jury packet and my case did not go any further. THANK YOU SUZANNE!!

Suzanne was LITERALLY a GOD-SEND!!

If I could do a commercial for Suzanne, I would. FOR FREE! I write this review as a proud mother of a son, whom Suzanne defended, after having been found in a most uncharacteristic legal situation. When I tell you, we spoke with several lawyers in hopes of finding "the right one." We prayed dil...igently because it was important to have someone who would not just take "another case," "see how things turn out" and collect their fee. We wanted someone who was going to take the time to get to "know" my son...take the time to learn a little bit about "who we were" as a family and to make a commitment to not just another client; but hopefully, to a person she believed in and a family she was happy to fight for. LET ME TELL YOU... I TRULY feel God "sent us Suzanne!!" FROM THE BEGINNING.....Suzanne was very personable, professional and transparent! She was friendly and had a way of making of one feel relaxed and less anxiety-proned after having met with her. She knew the Law and she was thorough in making sure you understand the legal process and the possible outcomes. She didn't sugar-coat or make promises. And she made sure that she had all of the pertinent information and pieces of the puzzle before strategizing THE BEST approach to a defense. She ALWAYS kept us in the loop of any proceedings and made sure she was available if we ever had questions! Suzanne is sharp and she is METHODICAL! #therereallyisaMETHODtoherMADNESS We put our TRUST in Suzanne and my son's literal future in her hands. She made us feel that we could. And we were NOT disappointed! Not only did she hold our hand through the entire process, she seemed somehow "invested" in the outcome as well. She was on this journey with us. And at the end of our journey, after trusting her, after adhering to all of her impeccable legal advice and counsel through the process, we were blessed with the BEST possible outcome: DISMISSAL!!! It felt like a "TEAM" victory! For my son, for myself and for Suzanne!! She truly was just as excited to tell me the news as I was to hear it!!! I could "hear" the smile, relief and excitement in her voice when I received the call. I'll never forget it!! I could go on... But, let me just say. If you want an ADVOCATE... A KNOWLEDGABLE ATTORNEY...a SHARP LADY with INTEGRITY... A LISTENING EAR and someone who actually CARES ABOUT YOU and your outcome, you will NOT find one better than SUZANNE STEVENS!

Knowledgeable. Thorough. Trustworthy. Aggressive.

An arrest and criminal charge loosens a wave of emotions: Fear, guilt, doubt, uncertainty. Suzanne Stevens brought calm and patience. There was no mitigating the seriousness of the situation, but she produced assurance and understanding, and – most importantly – a bright and indispensable ray of hope..., a sense that my whole world was not about to shatter. She understood all aspects of the law, outlined the considerations and responses, while explaining the situation in its entirety and walking me carefully through every step of the process. Never was I being lectured; instead, she answered all my questions and carefully explored various “what-if” scenarios that emerged in my mind. She aggressively sought avenues in the case that worked for my behalf, and never once left me with a feeling that I was anything but her most important client. I could ask anything and expect a thorough explanation of my options. She also helped me find actions I could take prior to the court date that would be helpful in my circumstances, and I dutifully moved forward with them. Her recommendations were easy to understand and follow. No outcome can be assured, but the final result – probation – left me confident that I had secured an outstanding attorney. It was personally an awful time. But it was made vastly easier by someone who is knowledgeable, thorough, trustworthy…and aggressive in standing for me and my rights in one of the most difficult periods of my life.

Reasonable and Experienced

Suzanne was very knowledgeable of the law and how it applied to my case. She runs an ethical, compassionate and effective practice. The services provided to me were worth every penny. I would recommend her to anyone needing assistance.

Best Lawyer in town!!!

Suzanne was by far the most informative attorney that I consulted with when I was charged with a DWI. She never made any promises about the outcome of my case, but I trusted in her process to get me a fair result. She gave me her cell number and she told me to call or text for any reason. I found ...myself getting anxious along the way and she was so sensitive and caring. She always returned my calls and texts immediately. She even met with me on a Saturday to go over the evidence in my case. She did such a wonderful job for me, that I am happy to tell every person that I know to use this attorney. It is rare to feel that you got a good value with a lawyer, but she made me feel like she was worth every penny. She was flexible with payments and let me take my time getting her paid. She even did things to help me with DAS when I know that my issues weren't part of her representation. Could not have been happier with my choice!
