Excellent work, follow through and advice

We worked with Susan on a couple of occasions. Every time she exceeded expectations in terms knowledge, attention to detail, strategy and follow through. She helped us out a lot, we are very grateful to her and happy with for the work she did on our behalf

Well Prepared

Susan did a great job when it came time for the trial. She was well prepared and my family member was found not guilty of a murder charge due to self defense. Excellent job! Thank you Susan for all you did.

Understanding, Communicative and Effective

Ms. Moran was very responsive and helped us understand the situation better and our options for responding. She explained the process, prepared our responses and educated all parties involved. She referenced the specific Ohio revised code and did additional research to support her findings. She was... instrumental in helping us resolve the situation to avoided additional legal consequences.

The best attorney I've ever had!

Smart, engaged in every aspect of the case, from beginning to end.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Committed to excellence. Sharp, throughly tough in the courtroom.

Ms. Moran plowed through all the details and witness backgrounds for my case, which was two felony charges against me. She is smart, sharp, and prepared to fight for her client's rights. She also teaches law courses at the community colleges. She has a gift for tying together facts and approaches th...e incident from every angle. She engages her client and the witnesses to bring out the truth. I can't say enough good about her.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
