About Us

As effective and reliable as they may be, our criminal and civil justice systems don’t always get things right. Mistakes and errors are made, evidence is overlooked, and innocent people are wrongfully convicted.

Thankfully, an unfair verdict or unsound judgment isn’t always the end of the story. With the help of a skilled appellate law attorney, you may be able to secure a better resolution to your legal issue. That’s the kind of lawyer you’ll find when you contact Clouthier Law, PLLC.

The firm, headed by attorney Susan J. Clouthier, focuses exclusively on appellate law in both criminal and civil matters. Ms. Clouthier, a 2007 graduate of the University of Houston Law Center, has extensive experience in appellate work, including:

• Criminal and civil appeals in Texas and Federal Circuit Courts
• Criminal appeals writs of habeas corpus for felony convictions under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 11.07 in Texas
• Appeals from criminal appeals writs of habeas corpus in a Community Supervision case under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Art.11.072
• Motions under 28 U.S.C. 2255 in Federal District Court
