Shawn S Sukumar

With this being my first time for any of this type of matter Shawn was very helpful throughout the process. I could not have been more happier with the process. Highly recommend him to anyone.

I would've rated 100 of 5 stars if I was given that option to rate Mr Sukumar, but unfortunately it's just 5/5 lol. Mr sukumar was very professional and calmed, he reassured me from the day I contacted him that everything will go in my favor and that's exactly how it went. He was very knowledgeable of the laws and also the courtroom. The strategy he laid out made it impossible for the prosecutor to have a case against me. He made me feel confident and optimistic about my case. Told me what the judge decision would be based on, and that's exactly how it turned out despite all the evidence the prosecution team had against me. Forever Thankful for Mr Sukumar.

I was involved in an incident I was wrongly accused of. I searched around looking for Lawyers to represent me. I called several Lawyers but was not satisfied with what they were saying. I felt most of them were just money driven. I had a sitdown with Shawn Sukumar and the way he explained everything and how we were going to address the situation was extraordinary. I signed up that same day. And got the best results ever. I thank God for Blessing with Shawn Sukumar and pray that he blesses him abundantly in all areas of Life. Thank you Shawn Sukumar. God Bless

Humans make mistakes and lets just say I made one. I felt as though everything I had worked for during the past decade, was going to be for nothing. Feeling hopeless doesn't begin to describe how I felt, until I met with Mr. Sukumar. I did some online research and it was clear that he was someone who would fight for his clients and remain honest, diligent, kind and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. This last year has been one exceeded expectation after the other. Every time I emailed Mr. Sukumar or called him, he'd respond, even if it was late at night or on a weekend. His vast knowledge of the law, honest communication and kindness has been more than I could have ever asked for. One of the things that meant the most to me is that he always informed me about what would or could happen, before it happened, so there were no real surprises. He always prepared you for the worst but hoped for the best. His optimism and due diligence are some of the reasons why I can say that my case was dismissed. You know that when you enter a courtroom and everyone acknowledges your lawyer with the utmost respect, that you made the right decision. So, if you find yourself in a situation where you need help but are unsure of who to call, trust me, call Mr. Sukumar. You won't be disappointed. He has forever changed my life and I will be indebted to him for forever.

I found Mr. Sukumar to be solidly competent and equally aggressive and client-focused, with a good client manner, all good traits for a criminal defense lawyer – and what a client should be looking for when looking for defense counsel, as I was. Moreover, I found him to be knowledgeable, non-judgmental and completely centered on protecting client rights – someone I would recommend without reservation or hesitation, based on my firsthand experience. My case concerned a potential Federal criminal investigation I'd become emeshed in, which Mr. Sukumar quickly and aggressively got in front of. Those charged with a crime (or who are being investigated or may otherwise put into a tough situation) tend to believe they can talk their way out or explain a situation, even if nothing really is there, so it goes away. That’s naïve, especially facing a trained investigator who can legally say anything to the interviewee, true or false, act friendly and/or minimize potential consequences (e.g., “You have the chance to help yourself . . “) to make their case, which is their goal. Investigators count on your not wanting to be disrespectful, or hang up or say you don't want to talk, which appears suspicious. That same investigator is required to be truthful to an attorney, so, also in my firsthand experience, you want a Shawn Sukumar or someone similarly competent and experienced to be that attorney. I’m fortunate to have gone with Mr. Sukumar. Yes, his hourly rate is high but fully justified in terms of his obvious client dedication and focus, and his aggressively acting to obtain the desired client result. Whether the same positive result would have happened (they backed off) with other counsel is speculation. After our initial meeting, I do know I was able to relax for the first time in several days, confident I was in good legal hands. That confidence turned out to be fully justified.

Shawn glows with congeniality, exudes professionalism, and projects absolute integrity, WALKING THE WALK. On trial day we didn't even have to enter the courtroom, Shawn already had the case dismissed! Now that's results! And then we were blown further away when Shawn informed us the there would be a partial refund since he got the charges dropped? Wow!! Too many others would never have even mentioned let alone offered such a bonus/windfall. Shawn didn't make promises or excuses, he just executed. This edifying experience has imparted upon me a new faith and appreciation in the law/legal representation profession. SO WHEN YOU NEED HELP HIRE SHAWN SUKUMAR!!

Shawn helped me out with my case and exceeded every expectation! I would recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Sukumar helped resolve my anxiety about my case. He always responded to my questions quickly with honest answers.

Shawn worked with me in detail and never left me with doubts about my case. He responds quickly and thoroughly. Not only is he a diligent attorney but he is a people person.

Shawn gets results! I had the great fortune to have been represented by Mr. Sukumar. His relentless actions on my case coupled with his legal acumen were decisive in getting my case dismissed! In addition, Mr. Sukumar understands the needs and circumstances service members face and strongly supports and advocates on our behalf. Should you ever find yourself in need of an attorney that will get the best possible end result for your case, I give my strongest possible endorsement and recommendation of Mr. Sukumar.

Its important to have a good legal support when needed, specially if it is the first time that you have to defend yourself. Shawn was my the trustworthy attourney who I knew I could count on. His calm demeanor in our first meeting was exactly what I needed and his knowledge on the topic and positive but realistic actitud towards the case gave me the assurance that everything will workout in my favor. The deal he negociated with the court was excellent and now I am able to go back to my normal life almost as if the episode never happened. Forever grateful !

I 110% recommend Shawn this was my fist time with an inconvenience of this matter so I had a lot of questions he took the time to explain everything i asked and make sure I understand all the proces he always keep in contact very strong communication never missed an email or a call always had time to answer any question I had , he will do all he can to make your issue solved in the best way and look for what's convenient for you , he cares about your needs , he makes you feel comfy do not hesitate Shawn is what you need , I'm so happy that I found him , and the office team wow on point they are nice and on top , my issue was solved successfully !

From the beginning, Shawn was always available to answer calls, emails, and meet in person. Shawn explained how the case would unfold, and was true to his word. Shawn's professionalism, knowledge, and care all come to the forefront in his work. I cannot thank Shawn enough for his dedication and assistance to me and my case. He is definitely the individual you need to hire in a time of need.

I hired Mr. Shawn Sukumar to defend me from 2 separate charges with 3 counts. my experience with Shawn was beyond awesome. His due diligence was impeccable, If you want a lawyer that will be there for you come hell or high water; Mr. Sukumar is the way to go, Based on my experience you cannot go wrong with Mr. sukumar. Just based on his paying attention to detail and investigation alone he made the prosecutor drop one of the charges and of course he beat the other one in court. Mr. Sukuma go way above and beyond to acquit me of all charges, I hired a lawyer from Virginia for the same case before I hired Mr. Shawn Sukumar The difference between Mr. sukumar and the previous lawyer I hired was like night and day. Mr. Sukumar display a high level of professionalism and In-depth knowledge of DC law and he is respectful. He truly care about what happened to his every client as if they were like his own family member and When you are in a sticky situation like I was, you truly need someone like Mr. Shawm Sukumar Who will truly fight for you with everything he got and he gives hundred and ten percent, someone Who'll go above and beyond to protect you! that's what you need when your career and your future is at stake.

I am a young professional so potentially being charged with a DUI was very nerve wrecking. I spoke with several attorneys but Shawn by far was the most professional and attentive. He made the process from the beginning to the actual court date as simple as possible. In the end, my case was DISMISSED. Shawn is the best! I highly recommend him and would work with him in the future.
