Shawn S Sukumar

After being charged with simple assault/domestic, I was terrified at the outcome this charge could bring. So, I quickly hired Shawn, and the case was dismissed in one month. I was so elated, I jumped for joy. This was my first offense and the first time I had ever been in situation like this in my li...fe. So, I was horrified to think I would have to take a plea or be mandated to serve a sentence. Shawn alleviated all my stress by answering all my questions in a timely manner; he listened to my suggestions; and utilized every strategy possible to get my case dismissed. Shawn is an excellent attorney that truly cares, and has your best interest at heart. I would definitely recommend his legal services to everyone.

Two weeks ago I found myself in a situation i never thought i would in my life . I have been arrested in DC for assaulting my husband and injured him with a broken glass .We were in Dc for the weekend and as soon as the accident happened i called 911 for an ambulance and the first thing that i sow... was the police arresting me .. i was in shock and really scared . It was a saturday night . My husband , as soon as he got out from the hospital that morning ( which was a sunday ) hired Schawn Sulumar and early afternoon he came to the jail i was in without waisting any time and i could not ask for a better lawyer who listen patiently to me, gave me finally information about my husband and how he was doing ( they didn't even make me do a phone call so i was crazy worry ) . He treated me like a "friend " and at the same time extremely professional , knowledgeable , prepared He told me what i was risking ( which was a charge of assault with lethal weapon ) but i knew right away he was the right lawyer , the one who you know would fight with any possible way , any possible information in order to get you out . I'm foreign here in US on a green card so i was even more scared to have eventually problems and even being deported . Shawn was so reassuring and very honest and precise explaing to me all the steps we would have do He told me that the day after he had already a case and his partner Mike Bartfield would be in court with me , that i would not be alone . And so it was : he came to see me the day of the court hearing with the wonderful news i would have being release and my case was "no paper " My husband and i are very grateful to Shawn and his team and i think he could't do his job better , professionally and humanly I would strongly recommend him and his team

Following an unfortunate incident, which I wish never to repeat again in my life, and with a lot on the line to lose, Shawn was there for me that day. Never having been in such an uncomfortable position before, and not knowing exactly what to do next, but knowing I needed to speak to a lawyer post ha...ste, Shawn and his office were there for me with a quick reply to my call for help. I really appreciated the professional, and empathetic, initial consultation we had, which laid out my situation and the next steps in a clear and concise way, without sugar coating the reality of my position. From the best, worst, and most likely outcomes, his counsel helped set my mind at ease. His timely communication, and I knowing that I would not have to stickhandle the DC system and bureaucracy on my own over the next several months, really helped give me peace of mind. The final outcome was as expected, and I could not be happier. While his services are not free, I felt his fees more than reasonable - the ability to sleep at night… priceless!!!

I was facing defacing public property charges and possession of cocaine charges. With a good job on the line, I wanted to get it all done as fast as possible with the least amount of consequences. Shawn got me just that. I was done everything in just 6 months with only having to do a short amount of ...community service. Throughout the whole case, Shawn was very responsive to any questions or concerns that I had. Everything was done in a fast timely manor. He literally took care of everything. All I had to do was show up when I was told and complete my community service on time. I would recommend Shawn to anyone in the DC area searching for legal assistance.

I had been falsely charged for a serious felony matter which I was about to lost all what I have invested in my life... I had no idea what to do since I have never ever had any experience of how the system works. Thus, while browsing Internet I came across Shawn's profile, and the good reviews he had.... I was very impressed when I read his reviews, therefore,decided to see him for my matter. I called his office, and Shawn make an immediate appointment. He analyzed the situation for me, and gave me a feeling that the situation is not what is seems like.He briefed me on how the situation will be looking like in its legal aspect, and what I would expect from my case. While talking to Shawn, the Dect. called me, and I told him the I have now a lawyer, and then Shawn took over. The moment Shawn spoke with the Dect. I understand that he is the right person to hire to fight for my right. Shawn was there for all my courts, and he educated me a head of the time that what would happened on the court. He was always on time, and prepared for all my courts. His skills rocks on my trial, he was able to turn everything around on my favor. He made it very simple for the juries to distinguish the facts, and lies on my case. As a result, I was found Not Guilty of all accused counts. I'm free person, and can continue my education, and having hope to my life, and my career. Shawn was an good investment, and worth every penny, and every dollar. His skills are outstandingly professional, and remarkably unique. He also put my on a payment plan that works for me. During the case period, which was my toughest life time ever, I was calling, texting, and emailed him every single time that I was depressed and had worries, but Shawn was always taking his time, and then responding me with a wise decision. He never rushed to give me a baseless respond. I'm glad to hire Shawn for my matter, I found him very aggressive, wise, knowledgeable, who would work hard to get you the very best result possible. I have lots of respect for Shawn, and I wish him more success and prosperity....
