About Susan
Susan Jacobsen built a steady path into Ohio’s courtrooms. She began her academic journey at Winona State University, earning a B.S. in Paralegal Studies, Pre-Law and English in 2011. She went on to law school at Cleveland State University and received her J.D. in 2020.
Her early professional life mixed administrative support and legal work. In 2015 she worked as an executive assistant at Eileen M. Burkhart & Co., LLC. The following year she moved into a paralegal role with the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office, where she handled documents and assisted attorneys preparing cases for court. Those years gave her a practical grounding in trial preparation and courtroom procedure.
Law school shifted her view of the law from support work to adjudication. During 2020 she served as a judicial intern at the Supreme Court of Ohio, researching legal issues and drafting memoranda for appellate matters. That same year she was the personal bailiff to Judge Richard A. Bell at the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court. The bailiff post tightened her familiarity with case flow, courtroom decorum and the daily mechanics of a trial court.
After passing into practice, she joined Minc Law as an attorney in 2022. Her résumé records steady movement from support roles to positions of legal responsibility. Each step added a different perspective: the prosecutor’s office showed how cases are built, the Supreme Court internship revealed appellate review, and the bailiff work underscored how courts operate day to day.
Jacobsen holds current membership in the State Bar of Ohio. That affiliation reflects her standing to practice in the state where much of her professional experience has taken place. Colleagues describe her as methodical in court filings and careful in legal research. She has spent significant time drafting pleadings, organizing case files and assisting in hearings, tasks that translate directly into client work.
Her practice today remains anchored in Ohio. At Minc Law she applies courtroom experience and prosecutorial familiarity to client matters. She handles litigation-related tasks and courtroom appearances as part of her day-to-day practice. Her work continues to reflect the mix of procedural knowledge and hands-on court experience she accumulated early in her career.
