Attorney

Suzanne Heywood is a tenacious advocate for employee rights, drawing on her own experiences with private‑sector injustices to challenge unfair systems and fight for accountability. After seeing workplace inequities firsthand, she shifted her career to the practice of law, bringing a grounded, real-world understanding to every case she handles. Suzanne’s practice focuses on helping clients navigate the full process of asserting their rights—from exhausting administrative remedies to litigating in federal court. She is strategic and pragmatic, using tools like arbitration and conciliation to pursue outcomes that not only secure fair settlements, but also help clients regain a sense of control, stability, and confidence in their futures. Outside the office, Suzanne is an avid outdoorswoman who spends much of her free time hiking and exploring nature. She is also deeply involved in volunteer work, dedicating time to wildlife conservation efforts and organizations that support individuals with special needs.
