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.

Sharp, knowledgable and no nonsense...

Suzette's strategy and approach is one that genuinely seeks the protection of my children. Conflicts between parents greatly affects children and Suzette was able to pursuade the Judge on my case to re assign the original Court Appointed Advisor during my divorce in 2013. Often children are exposed... to different individuals for therapy or in my case for observation and evaluation of circumstances that may not be in their best interest. Minimizing the amount of professionals to assist in resolving the current conflict was very important to me, as my children have gone through so much since their father and I separated and divorced. I am confident in Suzette's guidance and capacity and highly recommend her.

Suzette, is a smart!

Suzette! She knows the law. She helped me through a very tough decision,. To finally make MYSELF happy,, put on my big girl pants, and file for divorce. She knows her deadlines. Knows how to guide you through the court system, and truly cares about her clients. She will always have your best interest... at heart. The best interest of the children involved as well. If you have a question, she has an answer. If you don't know the questions to ask, she provides the knowledge needed. Suzette held my hand through it and made the process easier. She helped me get on track with keeping better paper filing system and helped me know the importance of knowing my worth! Even after the divorce was final she gave me advise on how to move forward, with paperwork, without charging me a fee. She cares! I'm grateful.

Best Attorney!

My 3rd experience with a family attorney and by far she and her team are amazing. Affordable, knowledgeable, experienced, assertive and well respected in the courts. Responsible for building life changing relationships in delicate situations. I will continue to refer her to anyone seeking family r...epresentation. She and her team go above and beyond to get it done! Amazing people!

100% no bull

Suzette is unlike any lawyer you will meet. Unfortunately for me I have hired the not so great ones in the past and I feel unbelievably lucky to have found her. My process server told me about her and man am I glad he did. She is %100 no bull. She told me things I didn't want hear, but I'd rather hea...r it from her than the judge. She was scary at first but in a good way, if that makes any sense. She has been working hard on my case and makes me feel like my questions and concerns are important to her. You can tell she generally cares. She is not just my lawyer, she is my child's lawyer because she is constantly looking at for what is in his best interest. She is ethical. She told me she didn't want to file something she didn't think we could win because she didn't want to waste my money, what lawyer does that? She really looks out for your best interest all around. I would gladly recommend her to anyone. I can't wait to see what she does in the courtroom.
