Susan Simpson Joins C&P as Of Counsel

Today we welcome lawyer, blogger, and podcaster Susan Simpson, who joins Clinton & Peed as Of Counsel. Susan is an experienced criminal and civil litigator known for her creativity, tenacity, and relentless pursuit of evidence. She previously served as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney and then practiced white-collar criminal defense and commercial litigation at a small firm in the District of Columbia.

In addition to her work as a lawyer, Susan is an authority on a range of criminal law issues and cases. She co-hosts the popular podcast Undisclosed, which features in-depth analysis of wrongful convictions and criminal-justice issues, including the high-profile Adnan Syed case. Her exhaustive and influential blog posts at The View From LL2 have been widely read. And she is regularly a source for reporters covering criminal-justice issues, both in print and on screen. Most recently, she appeared in the HBO documentary The Case Against Adnan Syed. 

“Like many lawyers, I first encountered Susan through her pathbreaking blog posts about Serial and the Adnan Syed case,” said partner Gregory M. Lipper. “Since then, I’ve gotten to know her in person. Susan is a talented lawyer, relentless advocate, and person of the highest integrity. It will be a pleasure to practice alongside her.”

We’re delighted that Susan will be joining our team and we can’t wait to start working with her.
