Would give negative stars if I could

Terrible, terrible, terrible. Incompetent, and won't stand up for you. Thank goodness I fired her and sought other counsel who told me something I did not know. You can offer an attorney to pay only a fraction of what you owe, to settle the bill. When I fired Sue Ellen, I owed her $2200. I wro...te her a scathing letter and offered $700 to settle the bill. She wrote back a very rude, condescending, unprofessional letter, filled with spelling and grammatical errors in which she accepted my offer of payment. Her message in essence was "Fine, I'll take you money, and good riddance to you". Wow, really Sue Ellen? I'm very skeptical of positive reviews on here. I find it hard to believe Sue Ellen has the ability to offer exceptional, expedient service. I'm led to ponder that perhaps these positive reviews are not authentic.

After 5 years she still remembered me

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.

PLEASE PASS ON SUELLEN HOWARD!

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.

Incompetant and disrespected by peers

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!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked with Suellen on a few matters involving friends or clients of mine who needed family law assistance. I have also referred many other lawyers, clients and friends to her. Suellen is smart, quick on her feet, practical, well-connected in family law circles and highly efficient. Her instincts are sound and her knowledge of the law, her adversaries and the bench keen. I cannot imagine getting more bang for the buck than what Suellen adroitly delivers. I recommend her absolutely."
