Biography

Straight forward, compassionate and concerned about the children in my cases. Family law should not be about "winning," but should be about making sure that everyone's needs are met.

No nonsense; What you need

I hope this will help someone else find Suzette Lorrey-Wiggs prior to wasting time looking for another. Wish we found her sooner, but when we did contact her, we hired her immediately. A friend referred us to her and glad we listened. I encourage everyone to look no further, but to contact her abo...ut your current situation. My situation was complex; dealing with custody, child support, and decree issues that spanned two states. She didn't hesitate in her response, but moved with pure expertise through the muddled mess. She is knowledgeable in family law, a straight talker; doesn't speak over you to boast her knowledge. She is a true professional in her career. Through the ordeal, Suzette Lorrey-Wiggs was a wonderful support. She is very good in her explanations of how to proceed and will not sugar coat the action necessary. We are impressed with her, the staff, and their professionalism. You should not look further, but call her and explore the possibilities.

Suzette is a Shark Who Will Fight Dirty for You!

Her law firm's mission statement is absolute garbage. Suzette-Lorey Wiggs cares NOTHING about children as she encourages her clients to lie and commit perjury in order to take children away from loving parents for financial gain. She is a filthy sociopath of a lawyer, and a very good one, at that. ... If you are up against her, spend the money for an excellent attorney as you will need it in order to prepare for her to fight very, VERY, dirty. Now, if you are a narcissist and don't care about your children, don't believe that kids should have a relationship with both parents equally, and will stop at nothing, including using false claims of abuse, in order to take your kids away from their parent so you can avoid paying child support, she's the attorney for you.

A Professional, Straight Forward Attorney that has Integrity!!!

Suzette Belle Lorrey-Wiggs and her caring staff is an unbelievable team. Alaine who works closely with Suzette is remarkable , caring and looks out for the best interests of their clients. I had a very difficult case and Suzette was very informative, straight forward, no hidden agendas and always h...ad an answer or advise in the best interest of my case / cases. Even though it was an uphill battle from the beginning the team never looked back and continued to move forward with the facts and presented them well. Suzette is an excellent trial attorney and well prepared at all times. Suzette is very conservative and truely cares about her family's she represents . I always felt protected and their team always looked out for my children and their future. I am also writing this review before I received the results of my recent trial. This is important to notice and not because I came out on top. I was treated excellent and the representation was second to none. If you truely want a great law firm contact Suzette and her team and you will be glad you did during the most stressful time of your life. Thank you Team!!!

Excellent, honest and hard working

In my consultation, Suzette was a very active listener, and was honest with me about a plan and advice about what I should be doing differently. She's very direct in her approach and was reasonable in clarifying expectations I should and shouldn't have going forward. Family law isn't a clear a calcul...ation to a desired end. There are many moving parts and subjective situations that will arise. She set clear deadlines for me on paperwork and information needed. She and her staff are incredibly thorough and responsive. When there was an emergency, she was quick to help try to resolve and give me options for solutions that I didn't think of myself. She's reasonable with the other party in approaching solutions. This helps tremendously in mitigating costs and time associated with the often lengthy family law process. An attorney who promises to get you everything you are asking for and to give you control over the desired outcome is exaggerating his or her power as no single person can guarantee what the other party, judge and other factors will do. She will fight for what you want, so long as it is reasonable, and provide alternate solutions that help to accomplish the desired big picture outcome when there are disagreements. If you are looking for someone who is always going to tell you what you want to hear despite reality, she is not your choice. She is going to be honest with you and if you take her advice, the end result will be well worth it. When there is a problem, you can rest assured that her and her staff are proactively working to resolve, then you will receive communication and follow up as soon as they have it. You will always have the upper hand against the other party when it comes to timeliness and proactively seeking resolution to avoid court or problems. This is invaluable when so many other attorneys struggle to keep their clients informed or are the ones causing delays in the processes. It also shows the work you are doing for resolution and to avoid conflict which can help in leveraging. I strongly recommend you sit down with her to discuss your case. Be honest, take her advice and understand, going in, that you may have a different perception than is reality. Let her wisdom and experience guide your strategy and expectations. You will not find a better, more hardworking attorney and staff.

Reasonable, Professional, Fair and Thorough.

Reasonable, professional, fair and thorough are the first words that come to my mind when thinking of our experience with Suzette. She came highly recommended to us by a close family member who is a local attorney. We had a free consultation with her in which she was honest and upfront about our cas...e. We hired Suzette to help us through an excessively detailed custody case with a high conflict opposing party. We had hundreds of pages and documents that needed to be reviewed. As the case went on and was continued we accumulated more evidence Suzette and her office were always helpful and available. From the beginning to our trial she was always very complete in filings and keeping us up to date on everything. Her prices are very reasonable for the extensive amount of work that she puts into her cases. She is more than fair. The results from trial were fair and we are pleased with the outcome. We have chosen to keep Suzette for the remains of any issues and aftermath that may arise. Our family cannot be grateful enough and we do not feel we would have gotten the same outcome had we chosen to navigate through this intimidating process on our own. Suzette and her team lifted a lot of the stress that comes along with unavoidable custody battles.
