About Susan E.
Susan E. Bochnak built a path to law that began in Massachusetts. She earned a B.A. from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1996 and returned to legal study years later, completing her J.D. at New England Law | Boston in 2011. Those years framed a steady, practical approach to the work of law.
After law school, Bochnak entered private practice and eventually joined Sheff Law as an associate. In that role she has handled a range of day-to-day responsibilities that support client matters. Her work includes legal research, drafting pleadings and motions, preparing discovery, and counseling clients on procedural steps. She also takes part in preparing cases for hearings and trials when matters proceed to the courtroom.
Bochnak holds active memberships in several professional organizations. She is a member of the American Bar Association, the Massachusetts Bar Association, and the Boston Bar Association. She uses those connections to stay current on practice developments and to engage with peers across the profession.
Her practice is rooted in Massachusetts law. She represents clients in matters that require familiarity with state court rules and local procedure. Colleagues describe her as methodical in case preparation and attentive in client conversations. Her litigation-related tasks often involve coordinating with experts, managing document production, and developing witness preparation strategies.
Office life takes place out of The Daniel Webster Suite, where she meets with clients and prepares for hearings. The setting is practical rather than flashy. It suits a practice built on careful preparation and straightforward counsel.
Bochnak’s path from an undergraduate degree in 1996 to a law degree in 2011 and into private practice reflects a deliberate progression rather than a sudden leap. She combines courtroom readiness with the routine mechanics of case work. She currently practices law in Massachusetts at Sheff Law, handling legal research, client counseling, and case preparation.
