In her more than 30-year career, Susie has helped her clients resolve disputes in state and federal trial and appellate courts across the nation in a wide array of areas – including real estate and other Ponzi fraud schemes, fiduciary duty litigation, intellectual property, construction, probate, professional malpractice and bankruptcy-based preference and fraudulent conveyance litigation. Whether the client is one person or dozens of individuals, a bankruptcy trustee, a corporation, or trust beneficiaries, Susie brings to each client’s representation a deep understanding of the financial and emotional components of litigation and a commitment to resolving disputes in the most efficient way possible. Susie understands that each dispute is personal and has significant and frequently life-changing consequences.Susie Jacks grew up in Roanoke, Virginia.
