Susan Mitchell, Managing Partner at Tierney Stauffer LLP

I am the Managing Partner at Tierney Stauffer LLP. My practice focuses on litigation, mainly in the area of personal injury law. I love my job! I love working with our amazing team of kind, compassionate, funny, and bright people. After I finished my B.A. in Psychology, I was looking for a career that would allow me to help people. I worked as a law clerk at a highly respected personal injury firm in Midland, Ontario, assisting injured people to recover compensation for their injuries. It was there that I discovered I had a passion for this line of work. Inspired by the possibility of becoming an advocate for injured people and making a positive, lasting difference in people’s lives, I enrolled in law school. I graduated from the University of Windsor Law School in 2001 and moved to Ottawa where I started my career advocating on behalf of injured clients.

I articled with Tierney Stauffer LLP and have been here ever since. Twenty years later I am incredibly proud to be part of this exceptional team and just as passionate about helping people as I was the first day of law school.

I am grateful for the opportunity to assist people who need help dealing with their insurance companies; whether it be to recover losses from a car accident or a denial of long-term disability benefits. I love my job and the work we do.  I enjoy the challenges of my job and at the end of the day, if I am able to help just one person along in their journey to recovery, I am content. I enjoy solving problems and it makes me very happy to help others.

When I am not working, I value spending time with my family, friends and my little rescue dog, Spanky. I enjoy travelling. Exploring the world and embarking on new experiences is revitalizing. In my spare time, I love to read and socialize with friends and family. I play piano and guitar and am learning to play the ukulele.

In addition to helping people recover from their injuries, I am also very passionate about giving back to the community where I work and live. As a firm, Tierney Stauffer LLP supports many local charities. I also volunteer in my community at the FAMSAC Food Cupboard in west Ottawa and I am an active organizer and participant in the Court House Food Drive in Ottawa every March which raises money for the Ottawa Food Bank. I organize the purchase and delivery of Food Hampers to families in need every December through the Caring and Sharing Exchange Network in Ottawa.
