About Suzette

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.

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.

Legal Experience Made Easy!

Suzette represented me to receive custody of children we will hopefully, soon, adopt. Legal experiences, in my past, always seemed frustrating and long. With Suzette this was fast and painless. She stayed on task with important dates and reminded me of them as well. I would recommend her to anyone lo...oking for an attorney that sticks with you throughout the process and willing to have a no nonsense experience.

Amazing Attorney

Suzette was very easy and enjoyable to work with during my child support modification case. She is an extremely professional, ethical, honest, and caring person. She truly listens and does not shy away from giving honest advice and direction, regardless of the situation. I would recommend her to a...nyone wanting or needing a trustworthy, hardworking, and knowledgeable attorney on their side.

Excellent!!!!

Suzette was very knowledgeable, thorough, professional and compassionate. She was always honest with me even when it wasn't favorable in my case. She always made me feel like I was her only client and I never once felt like I didn't have someone looking after my best interest. My case went very we...ll for my son and I and I only have Suzette to thank for this. I would and have recommended her to anyone who needs a famiy law attorney.

Honest and straight forward

I hired Suzette primarily to help me get back child support that my ex owed. She is professional, knowledgeable, straight forward and mindful of cost. One of the many things I like about Suzette is that I can count on her to be honest. She doesn't just tell you what you want to hear, she tells you w...hat you need to hear. Suzette was successful in getting me all the back child support that was due. I would highly recommend her.
