About The Chesnutt Law Firm

The Chesnutt Law Firm is owned by Susan Chesnutt. Susan has a history of dealing with families having worked as a Child Protective Investigator for four years on the Treasure Coast. This has provided her with unique insight into working with families that many family law firms do not have.

Susan also has a wealth of legal experience and expertise as a result of her education. She attended the University of Central Florida, where she earned a Masters Degree in Applied Sociology with a specialization in Domestic Violence. She then went to the Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville, where she focused on family law.

Once Susan finished law school, she became a prosecutor with the Office of the State Attorney in the 19th Judicial Circuit. There, she handled over 30 jury trials in addition to countless non-jury trials over the course of four years, during which she became intimately familiar with the ins and outs of criminal defense.
