Suellen Howard

Knowing your attorney is paying attention is priceless. 5 years ago I sought her help. After what was a very lengthy free session, she gave me advice leading to my not having to seek legal help at the time. Now 5 years later, she still remembers me and is now handling my divorce long distance. I was... originally referred to Suellen by someone who had to face her in court, that is saying something.

Suellen recently mediated my divorce. I was a bit skeptical reading the reviews about her posted on AVVO put I am happy to say I was not disappointed with her at all! She was on time, very nice, courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful! I used her services through the King County Volunteer Family Law Se...ttlement Conference Program and she was scheduled to mediate with us for a three hour session. She stayed with us beyond our time for our first session and graciously offered to do another mediation session where everything was finalized. I enjoyed working with her and was grateful for her time and expertise.

Horribly incompetent. Late to mediation and court, did not stand up for me at mediation, just sat there and let me get rolled over. Tons of spelling and grammar errors on her written communication, especially embarrassing since my now ex has a degree in English. My ex constantly made fun of me f...or having such a terrible attorney. She will promise you that she's a pitbull who will fight to the end for you. No pitbull here, just a lazy, worthless slug.

Used this attorney for a short while to handle ugle separation and divorce. Discovered quickly that she is borderline incompetant, is poorly regarded by legal peers and judges and that she does not track case well. She is cheap to start out with but expensive in the bigger picture due to her unethic...al way of managing cases. Plays games with other side that went against me in Court. Had to fire her and retain an lawyer that could acutally HELP versus hinder my case!

Suellen was able to do in just a few weeks what my last attorney was not able to accomplish in almost 2 years. My last attorney in Auburn charged me over 14k, mostly for making copies, reading emails, and trying to prolong my case. I met with Suellen, paid a very low retainer, and she has already sen...t the settlement over in my divorce case. She keeps me informed and answers my emails almost immediately. i feel very lucky to have found her.
