Lillian Suelzle Watson

Lillian was an angel in disguise, She helped my children and I when i felt like no one could help. I had a very messy and sad custody case and she was the rock we needed to get through it, very professional and also caring about the situation. She is amazing I would hire her again and when anyone as...ks what firm i went through I will always mention her. Thank you

Best attorney in Portland surrounding areas. I hired Lillian in 2010 after a very complicated separation, I was with my Ex husband for 17yrs and had two boys with him, one whom had alot of medical issuses. All my money was tied up in treatment and prescriptions for my child. I was attempting to... represent myself, while my ex had hired a high dollar attorney. I was forced at that point to hire an attorney. I was referred to Lillian by a co-worker who was going through her at that same time. The first time I meet Lillian, she sat with me and listened to my storry and looked through what I had, I had court in just a few days and was no where ready to face another lawyer. Lillian said to me " everything will be ok, we need to act fast" I explained that I had no money to give her and she took me on anyway, I made a promise I would give her something every month, and promised I would pay her as soon as I got settlement and more court came and where I could not. Finally 2 pluse years later she is paid in full. Where else could you turn to for help without a dime to your name, but rather a promise. Lillian is amazing, she is treated me like a daughter, she seen me through from mid mess to finsh! With the mess I had when I seen her I never thought in a million years it would turn out in my favor and it did! Her right hand Deanna is also wonderful, she coached me and mentored me through this all. I can't tell you how many times I would sit there and she would watch me cry and be there to pick me up. What team is all I have to say about this team!!!

Lillian was hired to help guide me through the challenging legalities of post divorce issues with my ex. She has been my attorney for over a year. She listens very well to what I am saying, has an intuitive understanding of people and different personality types, and proceeds with tact and intellige...nce. She has excellent abilities in dealing with the "other side" attorneys, knowing when to legally respond and when not, while at the same time understanding that cost is an issue for me. With her extensive legal experience, she has been honest with me about whether something is a good idea or not and has been very reliable in guiding me how to proceed. In fact, not only did she suggest I file a contempt motion that we won, she also won me attorneys fees for a modification motion filed by my ex, and she suggested our parenting coordinator for our case who has been terriffic to work with. I definitely recommend Lillian to anyone needing an attorney.

Ms. Watson provided me with exceptional help during a very stressful time. I felt that she presented me with realistic expectations which allowed me to focus on what was most important to me during my lengthy, emotional, and sometimes complicated divorce/custody case. I intend to continue to use ...Ms. Watson for future matters, should they arise.
