Relationship: Co-worker

"I have had the pleasure of working alongside Ms. Ferguson while she worked at the Orange County Public Defender's Office. She is extremely pleasant and has a huge heart for her clients. Make no mistake, though, she has a full closet of battle gear. She is a fierce advocate for her clients and a tireless worker. I have personally seen her get great results for clients with her prowess in trial and with her savvy negotiation skills. Simply put, she is one of the best in the business."

Criminal defense lawyer | Dec 16

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse Suzanne who may be new to avvo but clearly has the experience that clients are looking for when seeking an attorney. In the 7 years she spent as a public defender she has handled thousands of misdemeanor and felony cases of every variety. Experience really does matter and time spent in the court room with a judge and opposing DA is critical and was substantial. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation if you are in or near Temecula?"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
