A graduate of DePaul University College of Law, where she earned her degree with honors in 1990, Susan brings a unique perspective to her legal practice, rooted in her earlier career as a registered nurse. She graduated from DePaul University with a nursing degree in 1982 and began her nursing career at Children's Memorial Hospital (now Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago), where she cared for infants and children facing serious neurological conditions.

Susan believes deeply in the importance of patient advocacy, stating, “As a nurse, I was the patient’s advocate. As a medical malpractice attorney, I am still the patient’s advocate but in a different arena and profession.” Her compassion, combined with her legal acumen, makes her a trusted ally for clients navigating the complexities of medical negligence claims. Whether representing clients in Chicago or across the nation, Susan Capra is committed to achieving justice and ensuring that her clients receive the care and compensation they deserve.
