Suzanne and Tsion are great!! I found them to be responsive, supportive and very smart in the how they resolved my case. After my first phone call with Suzanne, I felt much more confident in the outcome of my case. She relieved so much stress and in the end got me an excellent deal. Suzanne has a great relationship with the Long Beach judge and prosecutors that seemed to make a lot of difference. Everything she told me about how the process would likely play out turned out to be spot on.

I would 100% recommend Chudnovsky Law. Suzanne Crouts was amazing. She helped get my partner's case dismissed. I would hire them again in a heartbeat if anything happened again. I was able to call them at midnight and get help with the case and getting a bail bondsman.

Consulted Attorney Suzanne M. Crouts

I was very nervous about my case and required a lot of support. Ms. Suzanne Crouts gave me her cell number and was always easy to reach when I needed to speak with her. She stayed on top of my case in Long Beach court. She is an expert criminal defense lawyer that will stand up for you to make sure you are protected to fullest extent possible, no doubt about it. Fast forward, she was able to get my case totally dismissed. I whole heartedly recommend Suzanne Crouts without reservation. I can't thank her enough for what she accomplished for me.

Hired Attorney Suzanne M. Crouts

Suzanne Crouts provided excellent representation in a very stressful professional license defense matter. Our case involved a disgruntled former partner filing a false allegation that triggered a high stakes Medical Board investigation. Suzanne gave us her cell phone number and was always responsive and highly effective in defending our Medical license. She was able to get the matter closed with no action taken. We highly recommend her and Chudnovsky Law for anyone needing a skilled, dedicated medical license defense attorney.
