Susan Lopez Biography – Susan Lopez Wiki

Susan Lopez is the acting State Attorney for the 13th Judicial Circuit in Hillsborough County, Florida. She was appointed on August 4, 2022, following the suspension of State Attorney Andrew Warren by Governor Ron DeSantis.

“I have the utmost respect for our state laws and I understand the important role that the State Attorney plays in ensuring the safety of our community and the enforcement of our laws,” Lopez said in a statement. “I want to thank the Governor for placing his trust in me, and I promise that I will faithfully execute the duties of this office.”

Lopez was appointed by Governor DeSantis to serve as a judge on the Hillsborough County Court on December 2nd, 2021. Prior to being appointed as a judge, Lopez worked as an assistant state attorney in the 13th Judicial Circuit since 2005. She served as a lead trial attorney from 2008 to 2013 before getting promoted to deputy chief of the narcotics division, where she oversaw all drug trafficking prosecutions, including those from wiretap investigations.

“My practice reflects the enduring trust that has been placed in me to handle serious, significant, complex, and substantial criminal cases,” she wrote in her 2021 application for county judge. “I earned that trust by showing respect to victims and witnesses, working in partnership with law enforcement officers, treating with candor and respect my opposing counsel, and always remembering that I am both an officer of the court and a servant of the law.”

She also worked as a staff attorney at the Second District Court of Appeal, which hears appeals of trial court decisions from five of Florida’s twenty judicial circuits. Among the 14 counties covered by this circuit are Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties.

She attended Tampa Prep and Plant High School before graduating with a bachelor’s degree from Middlebury College, where she was on the women’s rugby and crew teams, and a law degree from Suffolk University. She also studied abroad at Flinders University in Australia in 1998 and at the University of Barcelona in 2000.
