About Susan
Susan Skelton built a path to law that began in the Midwest and led to practice in Washington. She earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Evansville in 2000 and completed her Juris Doctor at Saint Louis University School of Law in 2003. Those credentials set the foundation for a career centered on consumer and creditor-debtor issues.
Her early years after law school included joining professional networks that align with the work she handles today. She is a member of the Washington Bar Association, where she participates in both the Solo and Small Firm Practice Section and the Creditor/Debtor Rights Section. She also retains membership in the Missouri Bar Association and in the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA). These affiliations reflect the spheres of her practice and keep her engaged with peers who handle similar matters.
Skelton’s approach to cases is methodical. She reviews financial records, evaluates options for relief or defense, and advises clients on procedural and practical choices. The matters she handles often involve tight timetables and complex creditor claims. She assists individuals and small entities that require guidance through bankruptcy filings and creditor negotiations.
Colleagues describe her as steady in the courtroom and meticulous in preparation. She has worked solo and within small-office settings, which informs how she structures client intake and case management. That background also shaped her participation in the Solo and Small Firm Practice Section of the Washington Bar Association. Membership in NACBA signals a continuing engagement with developments in consumer bankruptcy law.
Outside of casework, Skelton has invested time in staying current on statutory changes and local court practices. She reads opinions, follows updates that affect creditor and debtor rights, and attends seminars offered through bar sections. Those activities support the practical advice she provides to clients and the arguments she presents in court.
She practices under the name Skelton Law Office. She accepts matters in Washington involving consumer bankruptcy and creditor-debtor disputes. She currently practices at Skelton Law Office in Washington, where she handles consumer bankruptcy and creditor-debtor matters.
