Exceptional Experience

Suzanne is the best law attorney I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, she explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. She always dedicates the time required and more to make ensure her clients r...eceive the best possible defense and outcome in their cases. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable attorney at a great price, then Suzanne is your one stop shop.

Professional & Kind

I reached out to Suzanne when I needed some contractual agreements drawn up as I was exiting a business partnership. I think with any separation, it gets stressful, especially dealing with the legalities of the split. I was beyond grateful to have Suzanne in my corner. I was definitely NOT knowled...geable about contracts, 'legalese', or the 'norms' of a business separation. Suzanne was able to explain things to me in a way I could understand, which made all the difference in my stress level. I had consulted a lawyer previous to her who didn’t seem to know how to handle the situation and wasn’t responsive and am thankful that Suzanne was able to help on short notice and very responsive. Her father is also a practicing lawyer and explained a few things to us about tax implications and loans, which assisted in a smoother transition.

wonderful first impression

I just contacted Suzanne over some very hurtful medical treatment I received. She spent a good deal of time listening to my concerns. She was open, sympathetic, understanding and willing to work with me. I will definitely use her services

Posted by anonymous | November 16, 2016 | Health Care

She had the answers!

I am a healthcare provider and I had a terrible situation with my work. I had Legalzoom review my contract with my employer. Their review showed violations of anti-kickback statutes and they gave me the impression that I could successfully sue my employer for hundreds of thousands of dollars for ove...rpayment. I then started to look for a healthcare lawyer to assist me with the lawsuit. I got referred by a mutual friend of Suzanne’s. Suzanne knew the issues right off the bat, but said she normally is the one creating these contracts in compliance for the employer or entity and does not typically represent former employees or independent contractors in disputes. She said that this was one of the few success stories she had heard from people utilizing Legalzoom. She looked into the issue from a healthcare perspective and determined that the overpayments I had made would not necessarily go back to the employer, rather they could go to the patients. She then had my possible case reviewed by several contingency fee lawyers to see if they would take it, but they declined. Legalzoom had actually been blowing smoke when no issue or real plausible claim existed for me to pursue successfully and be worth the aggravation and expense. Suzanne also ran the issue by whistleblower lawyers, but they also declined to take the case. I felt like the modest fees that I paid Suzanne to answer dozens of questions and thoroughly vet my case and try to get me the best possible representation for my budget was totally worthwhile. She stood by my side and said that she would write a “demand” or “letter of complaint” if I still felt like I had been harmed or taken advantage of. I decided not to pursue the matter and she promptly refunded the rest of the retainer that she did not use. I did not know her prior to this experience, but I felt like she had my back and used excellent judgment and discretion when discussing the matter with me and other lawyers. If you want a trustworthy lawyer, hire Suzanne.

Posted by anonymous | November 06, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Discrimination

Great lawyer!

I was part of a class of people who were discriminated against at a local resort. One of my friends is friends with Suzanne and highly recommend that Suzanne represent us because she is so persuasive. Suzanne drafted a complaint to the management. The letter was so strong and impressive. She articu...lated the issues much better than all of us had and thought of, and some are lawyers. She conceptualized theories and reasons for compensating us for the horrible treatment and then had to deal with hostile management being difficult and nasty. She really fought for us to make the management make it right.
