Susan earned her Juris Doctor from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, and her Bachelor of Arts in History, cum laude, from the University of California, Los Angeles. Her academic background laid the foundation for a litigation career defined by persuasive advocacy, rigorous preparation, and a deep commitment to justice.

Susan’s practice is driven by a client-centered philosophy rooted in accountability and compassion.
