Biography
Hi, I’m Susan Lawson, Partner at the Rossen Law Firm. I was born and raised in South Florida and have been practicing criminal defense for over 13 years. The majority of my practice has been in South Florida but I have also practiced in Maryland and the District of Columbia. I have handled thousands of cases and have tried more than 100 jury trials ranging from driving and drug offenses to sexual battery and homicide cases. I have always loved to litigate and help others. I knew I could use my voice, knowledge, skills, and passion to zealously advocate and make a difference in the lives of others.
