Practice Areas

The law is a very broad field of knowledge, which is why many attorneys find a niche or specialized area of focus. Just as there are personal injury and family law attorneys, there are those who choose to focus on appellate work. Susan J. Clouthier is one such attorney.

Susan has earned a reputation for excellence in appellate law in Texas. Whether you are challenging a criminal conviction or a civil judgment, Ms. Clouthier has the skills, experience and dedication you need to revitalize your legal case and pursue a better outcome.

The stakes of a criminal proceeding are high. Your future and your freedom are on the line. Susan J. Clouthier fully understands this, and her compassion drives her success in this area. If you are wrongfully convicted or received an unjust sentence, you do not have to accept the outcome.

It’s important to note, however, that a criminal appeal must be based on more than simply disagreement with the outcome. It is usually based on an assertion that the trial court made a fundamental error related to evidence or procedure.

Although civil cases do not involve personal freedom, the stakes can be equally high. An unjust outcome of a civil trial can lead to a variety of undesirable outcomes. As in criminal appeals, a civil appeal is generally based on an assertion of error by the trial court or interpretation and application of the law.
