Best decision I made.
Fellow legal professional here. Susan handled my matter with precision, and the charge was withdrawn.
She was clear about her demanding expectations — but if you're willing and able to do what she says, her results are outstanding.
She was responsive, strategic, and transparent about costs from day one.
If you need a lawyer in Calgary who actually delivers: Susan Karpa. Worth every cent.

I highly recommend Susan Karpa. I was facing two very serious criminal driving charges and was incredibly stressed about the future and my career. From our very first meeting, Susan was reassuring and immediately put a solid plan in place. She gave me clear steps to take on my end, kept me updated throughout the entire process, and was always available via phone or email whenever I had questions.
Thanks to her expertise, she was able to negotiate a fantastic resolution that resulted in all criminal charges being completely dropped in a surprisingly short amount of time. If you want the best possible defense and a lawyer who genuinely knows what she’s doing and do what’s best for you, Susan is worth every penny without a doubt.

Susan was great to work with. She is straight forward, and also delivers information with care. Susan achieved a better outcome for me than I thought would happen.
After my matter was settled she did not just leave me to figure it out on my own. She checked in during the following weeks and made sure I didn't have any unanswered questions or concerns.

Susan, thank you.
You are a consummate professional and, quite honestly, a miracle worker. After 23 months of what felt like a nightmare, the outcome was better than I could have ever expected.
From day one, you brought clarity, confidence, and a level of expertise that immediately set you apart. You are strategic, detail-oriented, and fully committed to your clients. You do not just represent people, you genuinely care about the outcome and the impact it has on their lives.
If you are reading this and wondering whether Susan is the right choice for your defense, look no further. You will not find better.
My advice is simple. Listen to her. Even when you feel certain, trust her judgment. She sees what others do not, and she knows exactly how to navigate even the most difficult situations.
My family and I are incredibly grateful. Susan, thank you for your dedication, your skill, and your unwavering support. What you have done for us has truly changed our lives.

When my husband had charges laid on him, he originally had a legal aide lawyer appointed to him. But after some research, my husband and I decided to call Susan after reading her reviews and case studies. That decision ended up being the best decision of our lives. Due to the nature of the charges my husband was convinced his life was over. The release conditions were intense, and the impact on us and our kids were immeasurable. His kids were his life- and I was put in a position where I may not be able to finish my nursing degree I’d worked so hard on.
Immediately upon calling Susan, she put him at ease and made him feel like she was invested in not just the case, but in our family. She gave detailed instructions every step of the way- and slowly but surely we began to gain our life back. She worked so hard behind the scenes- and my husband never once stepped foot in a courtroom. She assured him she had it handled and
He simply did the homework she assigned. She got multiple conditions amended over a period of a few months, got him back home with his family, and then one day he got the best phone call ever- the charges were stayed, and within a year they will likely be dropped. This was an incredible outcome I had not foreseen- and in half the time frame I expected. I can NOT express enough how much we appreciate Susan and her hard work- she literally handed him his life back. If you find yourself facing criminal charges- you have found your woman in Sudan karpa. She will fight tirelessly on your behalf and you will not be disappointed. I never even met the woman but she has changed my life forever through her work for my husband and our family. Thank you Susan- for everything.

Our meeting was extremely efficient and Susan made me feel incredibly comfortable, seen, and heard. Her exceptional expertise gave me full clarity around specific questions I had about the implications of the circumstances and how it could affect the future. She drafted a detailed letter and upon my approval, helped me achieve the outcome I envisioned, within less than 3 hours after our meeting - It was truly remarkable to have Susan in my corner, as an ally for me to share my wishes and use my voice.
