Susan joined Ross & McBride LLP as a result of the merger between Lazier Hickey and Ross & McBride LLP. Her area of practice is Wills, Trusts and Estates. Her ability to connect with people from all backgrounds coupled with her desire to focus on the needs of her clients, ensure that Susan is able to translate the wishes of her clients into effective Will and Estate planning.
Susan’s professional abilities and sound judgment are quickly recognized by her clients, and as a trusted solicitor, Susan is often requested to act as Estate Trustee. These attributes are also recognized by her colleagues, and on several occasions Susan has acted as an Estate Trustee During Litigation. Susan believes that every Estate is important, no matter the size, and enjoys assisting her clients in arranging their affairs so as to best effect their wishes. Susan will often meet with her clients outside of the office, as she realizes this is essential for many individuals in order to meet with their lawyer.
Susan obtained her law degree in 1991 from the University of Western Ontario, after graduating from McMaster University with a Bachelor of Arts degree. In addition to practising law, Susan enjoys maintaining her perennial garden, and skiing and travelling any chance she gets.
