“Suzanne inspires trust and confidence. She deals with every complicated aspect of the litigation process, every curveball, every challenge, with the calm authoritativeness that comes from knowledge, preparation, and a strategic mind. Suzanne debunks the lawyer stereotype; she is honest, passionate, witty, forthcoming, and she takes the time to explain and engage. We really like Suzanne, and we were able to completely rely on her stellar legal skills and judgment.”

– Catherine and Joe Bartolomei, owners of the renowned Farmhouse Inn in Forestville and members of the Forestville Square Partnership
