Susan (Susie) King, an associate at Maser, Amundson & Price, P.A. is in the Elder Law and Litigation Departments, assisting in guardianship/ conservatorship (both contested and non-contested), probate and estate litigation, and estate planning.

King says that her family—many of whom are lawyers— inspired her to explore a career in the legal profession and led her to a love of advocating for the vulnerable. “My father is a civil rights attorney and I grew up watching him fight for the underdog,” she says.

Providing legal assistance and making a personal connection to clients, King says, is the most rewarding part of her job. “You’re able to give clients hope and optimism in sometimes a dark situation,” she says.

King joined Maser, Amundson & Price P.A. in August 2009 as a law clerk. Prior to that, she also served as a law clerk at the Legal Aid Society of Minneapolis and Parsinen Kaplan Rosberg + Gotleib (now Barnes & Thornburg LLP). In addition, King worked as a Street Law Volunteer for the Minnesota Justice Foundation, where she received the Foundation’s Achievement in Volunteer Public Service Award in 2009.

King received her law degree from William Mitchell College of Law in May 2009, graduating cum laude. As a law student, she competed in local and regional trial competitions, winning first place at the William Mitchell College of Law Trial Competition in 2009. King received her undergraduate degree from the University of Kansas. In her free time, King enjoys baking, watching the Kansas Jayhawks, and spending time with her husband and dog.
