This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Stand up Attorney. 100% approval

Mrs. Schoon represented me in Comal County on multiple charges. Not my first charges either. If you know Comal Co. Then you know it's a hostile county and are playing no games. Long story short I went to prison from another county, made parole, Comal County picked me up from releasing, made bond aga...in, spoke with Susan about resolving the charges quickly she quoted me a price then quoted me a lesser price if the case was quick and easy(first and only time I've heard that) , she came back next day and actually charged me the lesser(stand up move) i did 8/11 months of my parole, got indicted by Comal Co. 30 days before the statute ran out, went to court still on parole , d.a was offering me stupid high numbers like maxing out the state jail felonies at 2 years, giving me 8 on the 3rd degree felony. Keep in mind i just got out of sitting in Harris county for two years fighting a bogus case I ultimately signed for 3 on. Susan went in and got me time served on all of it. I just had to go down to get a new number. I was home before I missed my next parole date. Most of these reviews on other attorneys on this site are by parents who are just happy they're kid didn't have to go penn state. Not by the people who been thru the system (maybe even multiple times. Allegedly) I've seen a lot personally but I've never seen anyone like Mrs. Susan Schoon . She was an absolute ace. Good response times. Great attitude. Relaxed cool court room presence. Well respected and couldn't be more easy to talk to.

Ms Schoon was the best choice for my case

My family is a good family with great kids. When my son was arrested for DUI, we were shocked! I had no idea where to turn or how the legal system works and I couldn't believe I had to hire a "criminal" lawyer. I consulted with four local lawyers about our case before I hired Ms Schoon. I was so impr...essed with her knowledge of the law, her self confidence, and her warm, caring demeanor. She put our fears to rest as much as could be done in that kind of situation. She saw us through to the end and got a great deal for my son. Ms Schoon took the time to really get to know us and she kept in very close communication with us through every step. She was very clear about all of the terminology as well as the conditions of the plea so that we felt comfortable that we knew what to expect and what would be important for our son to do on probation. We felt very grateful to her for her efforts. We would recommend her to anyone at all who has been arrested and finds themself in need of a strong advocate. Ms Schoon is respectful and courteous. She has checked in once in a while to see how everything is going for our son. She even let us know when we would be able to have the conviction expunged from his record so that it will not follow him throughout his career. We plan to call her again when the time for that comes.

She knows criminal law very thoroughly and can spot weaknesses in the State's evidence that make a huge difference for those she represents.
