I had the pleasure of working with Susan M. Sutton at Taft for the creation and execution of my parents' estate plan. Her extensive experience in Trusts and Estates, backed by her impressive recognition by Best Lawyers, gave me confidence in her expertise. Susan explained complex legal concepts in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring we made informed decisions. She was thorough in drafting the necessary documents and provided practical advice on minimizing tax liabilities. While her response times were generally prompt, there were a few delays during peak periods that could be improved. Overall, her professionalism and dedication were outstanding, and I would highly recommend her for estate planning needs.
