After graduating from California Western School of Law, Judge Suits began his legal career as a Research Attorney for judges of the San Diego Superior Court. After two and a half years with the Court, he spent the next four years as a civil litigator in San Diego.
In 2002, Judge Suits returned to Arizona and opened his law practice in Prescott, where he has provided dispute-resolution and litigation services to the Quad Cities communities for the past 23 years.
During this time, he helped found the Mediation Center of Yavapai County (2007–2009) and served on the Board of the Yavapai County Bar Association (YCBA), including one year as President (2008–2009). In 2014, the YCBA honored him with the Harold J. Wolfinger Professionalism Award for exemplifying substantive legal knowledge, ethical practice, and outstanding professional conduct. That same year, the State Bar’s Volunteer Lawyers Program named him the 2014 Volunteer Attorney of the Year for Yavapai County.
In 2019, Judge Suits was appointed Presiding Magistrate for the Town of Dewey-Humboldt, a position he held until September 2025, when the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors unanimously appointed him as the Prescott Justice of the Peace.
