One Resilient Lady

I hired Suzanne in July 2019. Right before our hearing she had an emergency that was unavoidable which caused a postponement and some delay in my cases. I wanted to hang on to her and wait out the storm she was passing through. Thankfully, things worked out and she was able to stay on as my attorney ...and she came back full force and swinging on my behalf. I reviewed the complaint and summons she filed and I was thoroughly pleased. Now my trial for another case is in 2 weeks and I feel very confident in her abilities. I have hired for 3 separate cases.

Best BULLDOG Attorney

I hired Suzanne for two different cases. I couldn't sleep. I was scared. A friend that won her case with Suzanne told me to have a consultation with her. Best decision I ever made. Suzanne put BOTH My cases against me to rest. I paid my retainer and got more than half back! As I'm writing this I... can't help but tear up. She gave me my life back and now I've put all this drama behind me. She was such a bulldog. She's smart and knows the law! She took me under her wing told me to go home and sleep in peace and that everything is in her hands now. I believed her. She was right. Thank you Suzanne for giving me my life back. You Truly are Sacramento's BEST!

Small lady, big mind. Invincible.

My case was a little unusual, but involved a lot of money. Suzanne was tenacious. We could have probably gotten more if we went to trial, but she gave me my choice, and I settled with more than I had hoped for. It took WAAAAY longer than I had expected, but she kept me aware of what the other s...ide was pulling and the reasons for the delays. She's too pretty to call a bulldog.....but she's my bulldog!

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.
