About Susan
Biography
Throughout my career, my mission has been to pursue justice--and to do so ethically, efficiently, and effectively. In mid-2019, I switched from private practice to public service, where I assist one of the court's Justices on a number of civil and criminal appeals. For more than 20 years prior to this, I represented people from all walks of life, primarily in civil rights cases or in employment-related civil litigation and appeals. My prior experience includes 15 years in private practice and another 7 years in a non-profit, public interest firm, where I managed a team of attorneys across Texas.
