Shawn S Sukumar

I got a recommendation from a friend that Shawn’s firm was the go-to firm in DC. I was facing a domestic violence charge and I needed an excellent attorney. Once I met Shawn I had an instant connection with him. This might sound pretentious, but he came off as a winner, and I didn’t want to hire a... loser. I hired Shawn and he represented me in court. I was not let down, my charges were completely dismissed. I highly recommend him for any criminal defense need in DC. He is the best DC lawyer in town.

In DC I picked a DUI charge. I was really scared and nervous and very concerned about my job. I found Price Benowitz through google and read the reviews. I called the office and the Client Manager there recommended I speak to Shawn Sukumar. Shawn broke down DC law for me, and explained everything to ...me. He really put me at ease because not only did he answer all my questions, but he pro-actively gave me answers for questions I didn’t even think about. Right after the consultation, I knew this was the guy for the job. So I hired him. I could tell he was very knowledgeable and responsive, and those were the exact qualities I knew I wanted in my attorney. Shawn kept me up to date during the process, and believe it or not I beat the DUI. My case was thrown out of court because of the hard legal work of Shawn Sukumar. I would highly recommend Shawn Sukumar for any Criminal Defense Matter in DC. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. Thanks Shawn!

Shawn represented me against an outrageous assault on a police officer charge in DC recently and I couldn't have been happier with his representation and the results. First, he arrived in lock up early on a Saturday morning like a suited knight in shining armor, there to take over my case and calm my... nerves before getting me out of there. He walked me through what to expect in court and put a lot of my fears at ease. Then and throughout the case, he was always able to confidently explain the process step by step without ever seeming condescending and took care to ensure that I understood and was informed about my options. He stayed accessible by call, text, and email, and even took the time to contact me regarding my case when he knew I was out of the country so that I would not miss any important deadlines. Shawn really delivered by helping me get a DSA (deferred sentencing agreement) so that after community service my charges would be dismissed and someday in the future can be expunged from my record. He even went above and beyond to get the terms of the agreement amended so I could live more comfortably while awaiting my dismissal date 6 months later. It is evident from Shawn's actions and my personal experience with his representation that he cares very much about all of his clients and the job he is there to do for them. If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and SMART attorney who looks sharp while getting the job done, Shawn is your guy.

My husband and I hired Shawn for a DUI case and were completely satisfied with the service he gave us. He was both professional an approachable. He was very easy to talk to, and gave thorough and completely comprehensive explanations of everything the case would entail. His dedication to the success ...of the case was evident in every meeting we had with him. I felt like we were a priority, and that his understanding of the legal system and DUI cases in general ensured that we were in the best position possible to beat the case. Finally the day came for us to go to trial, and after following all guidelines that Shawn had given us, I am happy to say we beat the case and walked away feeling like our choice to hire him was the best decision we could have made.

About a year ago I was charged with a DUI and leaving the scene after colliding. I interviewed with a lawyer in Maryland and after the meeting I felt as if my career and life was over. I set up an appointment with Price Benowitz LLP and Mr. Sukumar saw me immediately. We discussed all the possible ou...tcomes of my case and when I left his office, I felt a great sense of relief. Whenever I had to return to court he always called me the day prior to discuss our strategy. While in court it was amazing to see how well he interacted with the prosecutor and judge with such confidence and professionalism. My case took over a year but he constantly kept in touch to inform me of my case's progression and to plan our next course of action. He was able to get my charges reduced considerably. I took a plea deal of a DUI with no jail time and a dismissal of charges for leaving the scene after colliding. I would highly recommend Mr. Shawn Sukumar to anyone that is going through a DUI/DWI arrest or any other possible ciminal offense. progressiion.
