EXPERIENCE:
Prior to earning her law degree, Susan was a paralegal for several years. She gained invaluable experience supporting a wide variety of practice areas, including business representation, family law, real estate transactions, personal injury, estate planning, criminal defense, and tribal and municipal law. This background has provided a uniquely comprehensive and robust foundation for her own practice of law.
While in law school, Susan served as an associate editor for Mitchell Hamline Law Review Vol. 49 and continued to build her practical experience through student internships.
She graduated with honors in the top 20% of her class. Additionally, before entering the legal field, Susan obtained a MA in Classics, and taught Latin for elementary through undergraduate levels as well as edited several works in the language. She credits her experience as a teacher for the personable and accessible communication style she has developed in her law practice.
Susan chose to join the team at Woods Fuller for its long-standing traditions of integrity, excellence, and community service, and she strives to advocate for her clients in accordance with these esteemed values. Outside of her practice, she often enjoys a respite in the outdoors with her family of active young children.
