About Susan E.
Susan E. Durré earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Miami in 1971. She graduated at a time of change in legal education. Her record included book awards for the highest grade in Income Tax and in Evidence, honors that marked her out among her classmates.
After law school she entered private practice under her own name. Public records list her office as Susan E. Durre. Over the years she has maintained that practice and handled a range of matters typical of a solo or small-firm lawyer. Her career has been steady rather than flashy. She worked day-to-day with clients and opposing counsel to resolve legal problems.
Her academic achievements point to particular strengths. Earning highest grades in Income Tax suggests a command of detailed statutory rules and complex calculations. The award for Evidence points to an understanding of courtroom procedure and how facts are presented and evaluated. Together those two recognitions indicate familiarity with both transactional work and the mechanics of litigation.
Colleagues and courtroom records show a lawyer who relied on careful preparation. She built a practice around solid technical knowledge and practical problem solving. That approach suited clients who needed direct counsel and reliable handling of paperwork, filings and hearings. She balanced technical tax concepts with the procedural demands of presenting a case.
In later years she continued to operate under her own name and to serve clients who sought an experienced attorney rather than a large-firm model. She has spent decades in practice since earning her J.D. Her work has spanned advisory tasks, document drafting and matters that brought her into court.
Today Susan E. Durré continues to practice law under the name Susan E. Durre. She concentrates on matters that draw on tax rules and evidentiary practice and on the kinds of legal problems found in private practice.
