I would strongly recommend Suzanne Storm to anyone who needs or wants a great attorney.

Suzanne Storm is intelligent, hard working and a great lawyer. She has directed our small construction corp through small and large issues and we continue to count on her knowledge and expertise. Suzanne is honest and reliable, she has advised and created an Estate Plan for me and my family. She ma...de us all feel informed, comfortable and confidant.

Suzanne Storm, dependable professional attorney

I needed sound, practical guidance in administering a family trust. The OC Bar referral service connected me to Suzanne Storm at Attlesey Storm LLP in Tustin. Suzanne—as well as her office team—did the job beautifully, guiding me clearly toward completing the process. All the while, Suzanne remained ...mindful and sensitive to everyone affected by the situation. In my interactions with her, Suzanne proved herself to be a responsible, ethical lawyer who offered healthy, fair legal advice at reasonable expense. From the get-go, Suzanne stated she could do as much or as little as I wanted, letting me know what tasks I could do (like submitting files to county court, county agencies, etc.) to save the trust money. Suzanne kept track of the process, she cleared up some murky details that would never occur to me (like state tax obligations), and overall she offered measured support in making sure the trust was implemented properly. In stark comparison, I first contacted the attorney who drew up the trust for my parents: in one phone call he was impatient, condescending, and unprofessional as he made disparaging remarks about my siblings. Suzanne is a first-rate, highly professional attorney. On top of that she is very personable, which made a stressful process manageable.
