Suzanne is who I recommend!

Suzanne is incredible. I found her somewhat by accident from another website’s directory. I am so glad I did! Suzanne made the entire process feel less daunting. Not having any legal education or frame of reference for legal matters is terrifying. She made me feel at ease and was available whenev...er I had questions. My case resolved in my favor after a hospital tried to blame staff for their negligence during an uprising and fired many of those who spoke out. She heard my story and took my side without making me feel how everyone else did: guilty - even when innocent. You never know how much it matters to be believed until you’re the one in question. Suzanne went over tough questions with me and gave me honest answers when I asked the painful questions. I’d have her as my lawyer for any reason, no question. If you’re in the painful situation of needing a lawyer - regardless of accusation or guilty, Suzanne is who I’d recommend. Thank you, Suzanne. You are a gem.

A Lawyer that truly cares.

It all started with a Nursing Board case that truly shook me to my core, I was in complete panic when I was introduced to Suzanne after I called the Law Firm she works for via Google search, a man answered the phone, I told him what was going on and he said “I have the perfect person to represent yo...u, I’ll have her call you in the morning”. He didn’t even hesitate to tell me who that person was, it was indeed Suzanne Crouts. The very next day I talked to her on the phone for a LENGTHY amount of time talking about my case and what I needed to do. Not once did I feel rushed or just “another client” with a sob story, she really wanted to help me and hear MY truth, not just some ego driven police report. Suzanne looked at the facts of the matter and put me at ease of what was ahead of me even though I knew it was going to be rough. Not once did she sugar coat or sell me a dream. The way she put together my response as her being my legal representation of my matter to the board was incredible, not one corner was cut short. Now going on around 2 years later she is still checking on me and available when I have questions or concerns. To say Suzanne was heaven sent would be an understatement. Finding a lawyer that goes above and beyond is rare, Suzanne has a true gift and passion, I can’t thank her enough for being apart of this journey with me and standing firm by my side to see through that I finish my probation. I would highly recommend any and everyone to hire Suzanne as legal representation because a lawyer like her are 1 in a million.

Phenomenal Suzanne!!

The title says it all. I can’t go into detail as the matter was very personal and confidential. What I will say is Suzanne was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Her sense of urgency was next level. She understood how much stress we were under and immediately jumped into action the same day we... contacted her. By the end of the evening thanks to Suzanne our minds were much more at rest. Thank you Suzanne, we were so lucky to find yoy and enlist your services!!

Suzanne is the best attorney EVER

To say Suzanne is a lifesaver is not an exaggeration. She helped our family out of a catastrophic situation involving a relative's nursing license. She was available to talk with us almost immediately, gave me her cell phone number and was in constant contact during one of the most painful and traum...atic days we've ever had. She knows these topics like no other and helped us quickly navigate and overcome a very stressful situation. There is no way we would have gotten these results without her support. We love you, Suzanne!
