Susan has handled a few Business matters for me. I have previously worked with 3-6 lawyers. I absolutely recommend Susan Wells. Not only for her professionalism integrity and vast amount of business knowledge. I would also recommend her as a high quality referral service, when looking for efficient trustworthy legal services in any field. One very sharp effective business woman!

I have been with Southwest Greens for the past 10 years. During my tenure we have worked with 3 different attorneys and there is no question Susan has been the best. Susan has an exceptional knowledge of Franchise law and her response times are fantastic. Susan has been the only attorney that took the time to actually learn our business. She shares our passion and understands our goals. That has been a great asset for us over the years. She has helped negotiate purchases with potential franchisees while making sure our exposure remains negligible. Southwest Greens has grown into an international organization and we would not have been able to do that without Susan Wells. I would recommend her without hesitation!

I have used Susan's services on several occasions; I had opened a business and was referred to Susan by someone who had used Susan for their business. I was a novice in the business field and Susan gave me guidance and helped protect my interests. Not only knowledgeable, Susan was able to simplify matters so I could better understand the process. She also offered highly useful advice in another matter that helped me pursue ways to resolve an issue amicably. Her advice worked.

I have worked with Susan Wells for many years now and I find her skills to be beyond reproach. She is extremely bright, and has an excellent command of the law and a great business sense. Her advice has proved invaluable many times over. There is no one else in the Phoenix metroplex that I would use. She is definately someone you want on your side in business matters.
