About Susan
Susan began her law career in the States as the Judicial Attorney for 43rd Circuit Court Judge Susan Dobrich in Cass County, Michigan. In the 43rd Circuit Court, Susan gained experience in Juvenile Delinquency cases, Abuse/Neglect proceedings, Personal Protection Orders, and Felony Crimes, as well as Friend of the Court, Probate, and Family Law matters. Among her responsibilities, she commonly helped unrepresented parties navigate through the court system. It was here that Susan decided to dedicate her career to criminal law. Susan's experience working inside the court system offers invaluable insight to assist her clients.
Susan served for ten years as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney in Washtenaw County. As an assistant prosecutor, Susan presented a full range of cases to juries, from minor misdemeanors to life offenses. Susan further served as the Prosecutor's representative in all the Ann Arbor specialty courts: Sobriety Court, Street Outreach Court, Mental Health Treatment Court, and Veteran's Treatment Court. Susan understands that whether a criminal charge carries the potential of minimal jail time, or life in prison, the very fact of being charged with a crime can significantly impact a person's employment, education, family, future, and freedom.
While at the Prosecutor's Office, Susan served as Circuit Court Trial Attorney, Lead Domestic Violence Prosecutor, and Warrant Review Attorney. As a Circuit Court Trial Attorney, Susan prosecuted everything from low severity felonies, such as larceny and drug crimes, to life offenses, such as Armed Robbery and Carjacking. While Lead Domestic Violence Prosecutor, Susan reviewed the prosecution of every Domestic Violence case, and handled first offender misdemeanors to Attempted Murder. As Warrant Review Attorney, Susan evaluated police investigations and decided whether to issue or deny criminal charges.
Susan trained police officers at departments throughout Washtenaw County, at the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES), and at the WCC Police Academy. These trainings addressed police investigation strategies concerning Domestic Violence, Drunk Driving, and Identity Theft.
Following her tenure as an assistant prosecutor, Susan has continued her practice by defending those charged in Washtenaw County, including all the specialty courts of Ann Arbor. Susan is experienced in all stages of the criminal case, from investigation through verdict and post-conviction proceedings.
