Dawn Suchy
"Dawn is exceptional and I couldn’t have asked for a more thorough, understanding, professional and very supportive lawyer to work with during a stressful 3 year separation/divorce. She continually took the lead to follow up and keep things moving due to my ex-husbands extended delays to respond at many stages of the process. She always looked out for my best interest, was available and responded promptly to emails or calls with any questions/concerns. She is trustworthy, kind and caring. I would highly recommend her."

"Dawn is by far the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Her knowledge-base is seemingly endless and her ability to present material in front of a judge is noteworthy. Dawn is also incredibly kind and supportive. On numerous occasions Dawn offered emotional support that certainly went beyond the scope of attorney/client obligations. In addition, although my case was complex, Dawn handled the nuances with grace and expertise. She was fully prepared each time we appeared in court and she made a point to review all of the material with me prior to entering the courtroom. Although my case could have gone in many directions, under Dawn's expert care we were able to achieve positive results every single time. Finally, her office staff is equally kind, caring and competent. I looked forward to all of my office consultations with Dawn and always left feeling better about the situation. Dawn is that rare attorney who possesses brilliance, competence, kindness and empathy. I can't imagine retaining any other attorney and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking professional, legal guidance."
