Will M2 November 2023Susan Rayburn was referred to me by a friend. He told me, "Susan a legal machine and she fights for her clients...." She was everything he said and more. Susan has laser sharp focus. She knows how to pivot on her feet and not skip a beat. Her cross examination is impeccable. She shows compassion for a defendant and emphasizes to the court the fact that the defense is innocent until PROVEN guilty, not the other way around. She has an iron spine and stands her ground. No lawyer has a crystal ball, but Susan has worked on her craft so well that she is the next best thing. I highly recommend Susan Rayburn, if you want a lawyer who is unbelievably wise, has decades of experience, is sharp as a legal tack, honest, and will fight for your constitutional rights. Forget about Better call Saul... More like, "BETTER CALL SUSAN!!"

Verdict & Success Stories
Browse some of our recent criminal case results below:
Case Dismissed
FIREARM
Our client was arrested and charged with carrying a loaded firearm without a license, possession of ammunition, and possession of a large-capacity feeding device.
Negotiations with the prosecuting attorney resulted in them filing a nolle prosequi (dismissal) in the case due to their agreement that they could not prove the required elements of the offenses charged, beyond a reasonable doubt, to a jury.
In this case, the accused was the driver of a vehicle that was stopped and searched. A firearm was located under the seat of his vehicle. There were other passengers in the car and there was no evidence that our client knew there was a firearm present or that he had the intent or ability to establish control over the gun. The case dismissed by the Commonwealth after negotiations.

Charges Dismissed
DOMESTIC ASSAULT
Our client was accused of domestic assault and battery in the district court. He called 911 for help when his partner struck him and damaged some property; when the police responded to the scene, the partner gave false information, and it was our client who was arrested and charged.
Any conviction or admission for a domestic violence offense can result in the deportation or removal of a non-citizen from the United States, and this can be devastating to a person’s future. Evidence sought by us included the 911 recordings, turret recordings and body worn camera footage.
The case was eventually dismissed for want of prosecution when the Commonwealth did not answer ready for trial on the scheduled jury trial date. The case was dismissed by the Court.

No Conviction
TRAFFICKING
Our client was charged with trafficking in narcotics after a car he was driving was stopped and searched by police officers. Evidence sought and received by Attorney Rayburn included documentation of the police officer’s use of their mobile data terminal to request information on the vehicle’s registration and the defendant, including the precise time of those queries. Body-worn camera footage was also sought and received, reviewed, and submitted in support of a Motion to Suppress Evidence for the unlawful stop, search, and seizure of evidence. Officers were dishonest about the reason for their stop and the reasons for the search of the vehicle.
At a motion to suppress, Attorney Rayburn was able to cross-examine the officers involved; their body-worn camera footage was submitted to the court, and the officer’s testimony was shown to be inconsistent with their own body-worn camera footage.
The defendant’s constitutional rights had been violated, and the Motion to Suppress was allowed; the charges were then dismissed.

RESTRAINING ORDER VACATED
Our client was falsely accused of domestic violence, and an emergency restraining order was granted to the alleged victim.
Attorney Rayburn prepared for the ten-day hearing on the Restraining Order, investigated the complaining witness, and gathered information that showed that the allegations were false and that our client was actually the victim in the case.
The alleged victim chose not to come to court and face the physical and testimonial evidence that would expose the false allegations. The restraining order was vacated.
