I am an attorney, real estate developer and have various other businesses. We use Suzanne Storm for all our legal work except for the rare time when she will refer us to someone else when she does not consider herself an expert on a particular issue. We have retained Suzanne in many different matters both litigation, transactional and employee related over the last 5+ years. She is truly a gifted attorney and great person. She goes above and beyond for her clients with her dedication and hard work. I am very proud to say that we have NEVER lost a matter with Suzanne, and there have been some very difficult and complicated ones. She is not the kind that would “guarantee" us a success, but she goes above and beyond to make it happen. As I mentioned, I am an attorney myself, and I am not an easy client. I am very demanding and expect the very best. I am very happy to say that I consider Suzanne an attorney’s attorney - in other words, where attorneys go when they need help. I believe that is the best compliment I could give her. You should definitely take the time to meet with Suzanne and I am sure you will be convinced as well.
They do not return your phone calls. Terrible communication process. You should consult with another professional who cares more.
When I asked the OC Bar referral service for an attorney to guide me in administering a trust, they connected me to Suzanne Storm at Attlesey Storm LLP in Tustin. Suzanne—as well as her office team—did the job beautifully. Throughout the process, 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.
We hired Suzanne Shaw Storm to help my husband and I sell my business. Suzanne was great in guiding us through the transition, making it as easy as possible. We also are working with Suzanne for our living trust. Suzanne has structured our estate planning with sensitivity and the highest level of professionalism. We highly recommend Suzanne as your attorney.
I want to thank Mr. John Ward for the excellent work he did as my attorney. Plus, I really appreciate his prompt responses and attention to detail in handling my case. Due to Mr. Ward's diligence and expertise my case was handled quickly, without a court trial and still had a favorable outcome. I cannot thank you enough Mr. Ward for your assistance on my behalf. Your legal expertise and professionalism went above and beyond my expectations throughout the course of my case. You are by far the best Lawyer in your field. If anyone is in need of an excellent lawyer; Mr. Ward is your best bet.
