A blue fairy if ever there was one.

Suzanne and I worked together to officiate my divorce. I came to her because a close friend recommended her. I had two very specific requests and she fulfilled them effortlessly. Suzanne was diligent in details, persistent in her communication, trusting in our relationship, and definitely a solid adv...ocate for me. I never hesitated with her confidence and knowledge. She answered all of my questions and listened with patience. She provided comfort and assuredness. On the day of trial she stood tall right by my side and every step of the way. I couldn’t ask for anything more. A divorce is a death and she made the ultimate funeral director. Her commitment is, by far, indubitably priceless, or under this umbrella, worth every penny. I have no regrets nor criticisms. Suzanne Race rules for the very simple and sustaining reason in that she provides exactly what she offers. No qualms.

"I endorse this lawyer. Not only is Suzanne an exceptional and passionate criminal defense attorney, as shown by her impressive and tireless work through 8 years at the public defender's officer, but she also is a marvelous family law attorney. We have handled numerous family law cases at Bourdon & Race, and she works diligently and compassionately on each and every aspect of each and every matter. She is as skilled at handling the often handling the emotional aspects of each case as she is the legal aspects."

Criminal defense lawyer | Oct 07

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer, and not just because she is now my law partner. I have worked with her for about 9 years, and have never seen anyone as detail oriented and organized with their cases, or as caring and compassionate with their clients. Ms. Race cares deeply about the outcome of her clients cases, and thoroughly prepares for her hearings, trials, depositions, etc. Ms. Race's clients are well cared for and well protected, and it's been my honor to know her and call her my friend and business partner."
