About Susana
Biography
At Lannik Law, we distinguish ourselves through a personal, artistic approach to Elder Law and Estate Planning. While many lawyers share common traits, like law degrees and experience, my background in theater and art history shapes how I work with clients. I view my practice through a "theatrical" lens, focusing on long-term relationships, not just legal documents. Just as in the arts, where tradition is passed down, I blend my knowledge of the law with a deep understanding of my clients' evolving needs. From clients who just turned 18 to their 90s, I take pride in guiding them through life's stages, creating connections that last beyond the legal process. At Lannik Law, you're not just a case—you're part of an ongoing journey.

Thank you!
I had Susana prepare my estate plan recently. I had put it off for so long, and just decided I had to get it done. I was very satisfied with each aspect of the process, from my first call with Jen all the way to the signing with Susana. They made this process easy, pain free, and I really felt lik...
Susana Lannik's Lawyer Endorsements
"Susana and I belong to several of the same professional groups that focus on elder law and elder care issues. In addition to knowing her for many years, she and I have collaborated together to co-author a book due out in Spring 2014. I have the highest respect for Susana's legal abilities and professionalism. I also know that she cares for her clients and is compassionate to their needs. She is a 'difference maker' for good in their lives."
"I endorse this lawyer. A great elder law attorney needs compassion. Susana has a deep well of compassion for her clients. She is very client driven--what is in the client's best interest. She is a great elder law and estate planning lawyer that brings great tools to the table."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Susana for about three years as a fellow member of a group of a Leading Elder Law attorneys in America. She is very knowledgeable regarding estate planning, long-term care planning and all other areas of elder law. Most importantly, she is dedicated to her clients. I highly recommend her to all."
"I endorse this lawyer. Susana Lannik is a fantastic attorney. She understands both elder law and estate plannning very well. I also appreciate that Susana is very easy to work with and cares about her clients."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"In my practice I handle divorces, criminal defense, personal injury, and police misconduct. Often I am approached by the family of my clients to handle their estate planning matters after I receive a significant payment for them on their case. I spend so much time litigating cases that I do not have the ability to then assist my clients in planning their estates. So, I've networked with a very good attorney that I refer these clients to in those moments of good fortune. That attorney is Susana Lannik and I highly recommend her services."
