Perfect

She picked the phone up on the second ring on 4th of July at 8pm. I was blown away. She held my hand through the whole process of getting an LLC in an expidited fashion. I was able to buy a house before it went on the market to a bid war and owe it all to Suzanne and her dedication. Thank You!

Best Startup and Intellectual Property Lawyer

We chose Suzanne to be our legal advisor because she is the perfect combo for a lawyer - caring and intelligent – plus she offers a lot of free and low cost legal information through her own startup, LawTake. She helped us understand what legal issues that we might need assistance with by providing ...us free information about a startup’s legal needs. Once we retained her, we felt that she provided value by helping us apply for a trademark, providing valuable connections and discussed her own experience with applying for patents through other companies that she works with to help us with our intellectual property needs. She is great to work with!

Amazing Service!

Suzanne is an excellent attorney that has helped me and my plastic surgery practice tremendously! Specifically she has helped me with labor laws as my practice continues to grow. She has been extremely responsive anytime I've had questions with the projects we have been working on even when she was s...upposed to be on vacation. True dedication to her clients and clearly passionate about her work. I highly recommend her!

Suzanne is the best lawyer globally!

I own/run two hotels, in the US and in France. I needed help with contracts with employees and how to deal with hiring and firing legal issues. I also wanted help with negotiating insurance contracts. Suzanne was very thorough, but she did such a fast job. I was glad that I went with her since she ru...ns her own business. She also helped secure counsel in France for the international law legal issues – she is so well connected. I highly recommend her as a caring and competent attorney. She also dealt with an employee that caused a smooth transition, thank goodness, rather than creating or instigating a lawsuit, like other lawyers are known for. She was very affordable and the investment in legal has paid off in so many ways, not just monetarily. Why sacrifice my health in dealing with hostile people, when I can sick Suzanne on them? I recommend you look no further!

Avoid a dispute!

I have a small business and Suzanne is my business lawyer. I had an independent contractor leave and make nasty threats to me. I had been paying her well for several years and was very flexible with her, but this woman wanted more money and had made mistakes with calculations on her time sheets wa...nting money she felt she was owed. Suzanne counseled me about legally what my position was and what my options were. I was able to make this pest go away after much contention with Suzanne’s intervention and assistance. I was told that this could have been a hugely expensive lawsuit. Suzanne was able to get her to sign a release of claims to avoid any future dispute. For entrepreneurs who don’t have a budget for employees, Suzanne can teach you how to hire independent contractors and avoid disputes. I recommend her as someone able to help me stay calm in a stressful situation and persuasive enough to deal with someone who is making threats to report you to the IRS!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
