I am priviledged to serve as an adjunct professor of law at Case Western Reserve University School of Law. I instruct third year law students on the art of trying a case. My trial work is my greatest strength.

Additionally, I have maintained my own private practice for the last 20 years. I limit my practice to criminal defense so that I can stay focused on my area of expertise.

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.

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 the incident from every angle. She engages her client and the witnesses to bring out the truth. I can't say enough good about her.
