Suzi Chester is a partner at Waters Kraus Paul & Siegel with more than two decades of experience representing personal injury victims. Suzi grew up in Arizona and moved to Texas in 2000 to attend Southern Methodist University. A sports lover who is always up for a challenge, she walked on to SMU’s Division I soccer team and played for the Mustangs throughout her freshman year. Suzi earned dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in International Studies and Political Science. She graduated magna cum laude with distinction and was selected to Phi Beta Kappa for excellence in academics and freedom of thought.
Following graduation, Suzi continued her education at SMU’s Dedman School of Law.
