Susan Alethea Flanagan is associated with legal practice in New York. Her professional record places her in the Long Island legal community, where she has worked in areas of law involving estates, aging, guardianship, adoption, and related planning matters.
Flanagan received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Smith College in 1976 and a Juris Doctor degree from Albany Law School of Union College in 1980. Smith College, founded in 1871 and opened in 1875, is an independent liberal-arts college historically dedicated to the higher education of women. Albany Law School, founded in 1851, is the nation's oldest independent law school and developed a tradition combining formal legal instruction with preparation for professional practice.
Flanagan began her legal career after admission to the bar in 1981. Her documented practice has included trusts and estates, elder law, guardianship, adoption law, estate planning, probate, and related family and tax matters. She has maintained offices in Garden City, Hauppauge, and Bohemia, New York, including the Law Office of Susan A. Flanagan.
She has also been admitted to practice in California and in the United States District Courts for the Northern and Eastern Districts of New York. Her professional work has addressed legal questions affecting older adults, families, estates, guardianship, and people receiving long-term support services.
In addition to legal practice, Flanagan co-authored a 2000 article on fiscal intermediaries and consumer-directed support. The subject concerns administrative arrangements that help people receiving home- and community-based services manage employment, payroll, and related responsibilities while retaining greater control over their care.
