Shawn S Sukumar

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 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.

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.

After getting a DUI, and facing possible deportation because I am not a US citizen, I consulted a few lawyers before deciding that Shawn was the best choice. I ended up being very happy with the choice. Shawn was easy to talk to, and walked me through the steps of fighting the DUI in court. His dedic...ation to the case was extremely evident. He even went out to the place where I was pulled over to document the traffic patterns and lighting of the area as evidence that I was driving in a way any reasonable person would. Throughout the months leading up to the case, Shawn was never anything but professional and personable. I have had my fair share of lawyers in the past, and he is by far my favorite and provided the most easy and stress-less experience possible. We ended up winning the case, which I think could have easily gone the other way without such a dedicated and intelligent attorney. I honestly have no complaints and would recommend him to anyone.
