About Susan Lorene

Susan Lorene Ray built a path to the law that began long before she entered law school. She completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Central Florida in 1988. Years later she returned to formal legal study, enrolling at Barry University in 2001 and earning her Juris Doctor in 2004.

Her education set a steady pace. The gap between undergraduate work and law school gave her time for practical experience in the years before she pursued a legal career. That background informed the way she approaches clients and cases once she began practicing.

Ray moved into private practice after completing her degree and has maintained a presence in that setting. She practices under the name Law Office of Susan L. Ray, PA. Her office functions as the principal base from which she advises clients, manages files and appears on their behalf where necessary.

Colleagues describe her courtroom manner as direct and focused. She favors clear explanations over legal jargon when meeting with clients. That approach helps people understand options and next steps. In written filings she aims for brevity and clarity. In conferences she listens first, asks pointed questions and then outlines practical choices.

Her professional life includes active participation in bar and legal organizations. She holds current memberships in relevant professional groups and attends continuing education programs to stay current on legal developments. Those activities supply a steady stream of updates on rules, procedure and emerging case law that shape day-to-day practice.

Ray’s workday involves client meetings, drafting pleadings, negotiating resolutions and preparing for hearings. She keeps her practice organized around prompt communication and attention to detail. That organizational emphasis shows up in how her office handles intake, schedules deadlines and follows up after hearings or settlements.

She has chosen to maintain a solo or small-firm practice model, which gives her direct control over client relationships and case strategy. That structure also allows her to adapt quickly when circumstances change during a matter. She is known for steady, methodical work rather than publicity or headline cases.

As of 2026 she continues to serve clients through the Law Office of Susan L. Ray, PA. Her current practice focuses on serving clients through the Law Office of Susan L. Ray, PA.
