Suzanne Lee Elliott's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have worked with Suzanne in various roles over the years. She is brilliant, hard-working, and cares enormously about her clients and the law. She is one of the most capable lawyers in the practice of criminal defense and especially appeals and post-conviction practice."
"I have worked with Suzanne on a number of amicus briefs. She is one of the brightest lawyers that I know. Her insight into criminal law and procedure is without equal."
"I have known Suzanne since 1984, when we were both public defenders together. She is an outstanding attorney: knowledgeable, meticulous, thorough, highly competent and the "go to" expert in Seattle for appellate work. I wholeheartedly endorse her."
"I have known Suzanne for many years. Whenever I refer an appeal to her, my client gets outstanding advocacy. She is knowledgeable, intelligent, and tenacious--an excellent lawyer for anyone seeking relief from a criminal conviction."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Suzanne and known her since 1991. Suzanne is an expert in criminal law. She is a lawyer who other lawyers, like myself, often go to for advice and information about the law and criminal defense advocacy. I have never come across a lawyer who knows more about criminal law than Suzanne. Suzanne is a widely recognized by defense attorneys, prosecutors and judges up through the Washington Supreme Court as one of the elite criminal defense attorneys in the state. Suzanne is also very honest, genuine and nice person."
"I've worked closely with Suzanne on several cases, including three death penalty cases. She is among the very best lawyers in Washington for criminal appeals and collateral attacks."
