About Suzanne

Suzanne Fanning trained in Britain earlier than turning to American law. She earned a B.A. in Political History from the University of Bristol in 1991 and later completed her J.D. at Wayne State University Law School in 1996.

Her profession began in personal practice. Early on she worked at Garan Lucow Miller, a firm where she first held the title of lawyer in 1994. She moved to Koselka Devine PLLC in 2001, a duration that broadened her exposure to property things and court procedures. In 2008 she returned to Garan Lucow Miller, rejoining a different practice environment and dealing with a mix of estate administration and property work. In 2014 she opened Suzanne R. Fanning PLLC and took on the role of principal lawyer.

Across those roles, probate and property making plans emerged as continuous additives of her work. She finished a Probate and Estate Planning certification through the Institute of Continuing Legal Education. That credential strengthened the practical knowledge she accrued over two decades of work on wills, trusts, fiduciary duties and estate settlement.

Fanning has additionally taken phase in expert association activity spanning a few years. Records display involvement starting in 1996 and continuing to the gift. She has served as a former co-chair of the Probate and Estate Planning Section, a leadership role that concerned coordinating instructional programs and assisting set agenda items for the area at some point of her tenure. Her association work has kept her in ordinary contact with peers and advancements in estate administration practice.

Her practice displays that background. She handles probate management, prepares estate making plans documents and counsels executors and trustees through court processes. Colleagues describe her approach as steady and methodical; clients obtain detailed explanations of options and procedures. She has balanced litigation-related work when estates require courtroom intervention with non-litigation making plans to minimize destiny disputes.
