Shawn S Sukumar

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....

I was wrongfully accused of assault on a police officer, and I needed a lawyer. I went to a review site and I saw that Shawn's firm was highly recommend. Shawn was real personal during the consult, and I really like the way he consulted me. Shawn was all about facts of the case, and the last thing he... talked to me about was fees. This was significantly different then other offices I went to, whose main focus was fees, then facts. Shawn got my case dismissed at a hearing. The prosecution was really pressing for time to attempt to come up with evidence, but Shawn put his foot down. I am from New York and had already spent time and money coming back down for a bogus charge with no evidence, and is was utter crap that they were not prepared. Shawn Sukumar is the Best DC Criminal defense attorney I have ever met, and I am grateful that he stood up for my rights. He is attentive to your personal needs, and did a great job balancing my needs.

I was recently arrested for the first time in my life, and I was very scared about how it would affect my personal life and career. While I had already hired another lawyer, I was not familiar with the inner workings of the justice system. The length of time between court appearances caused me a lo...t of anxiety. I had a hard time comprehending the way things were happening. I emailed Shawn several times for a second opinion. And while he was not even my lawyer, he was quick to respond and put my mind at ease. He was very thorough in his explanations and had a very friendly demeanor. He's the type of guy that clearly goes above and beyond his responsibilities. So, despite not even hiring him, I'm happy to go out of my way to recommend him here.

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.
