Shawn S Sukumar

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.

Shawn and his colleagues at Price Benowitz filed some motions for me in order to expunge my criminal record. I had no complaints. The service was stellar, I was always kept informed of what was going on. Shawn is always very responsive and knowledgeable of the DC court system. Shawn also helped my fr...iend with a serious assault charge and was able to get the charge dismissed after she did some community service. Shawn and his colleagues saved both mine and my friend's professional careers and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a great attorney. I can tell that Shawn is a rising star at his firm.

I did a search on the internet and found Price Benowize. After speaking with someone, they directed me to Shawn. I was concerned about the allegations I faced and, after speaking with Shawn, I felt much better. Shawn presented solid plan and was confidednt about the next steps. I immediately signe...d with Shawn and we got to work on building my defense. Shawn kept me in the loop while time went on and I sat back while he took care of things. On our first court date, I could tell Shawn seemed to have a good relationship with the procecutor. He presented himself in a professional manner and had the perfect demeanor for the courtroom. He was confident and knew what he needed to say, communicating clearly in the courtroom. Shawn worked everything out for me beforehand and there were no surprises. I thought the plan Shawn presented was a solid plan and I was happy with the result of my case. My charges were dismissed and Shawn relieved a big headache for me. I am very satisfied I hired Shawn for my case.

Shawn did a great job representing me in a simple assault/domestic violence case. As it was my first offense, Shawn was able to negotiate a delayed sentencing agreement with the prosecutor, which meant I was able to convert nine months of probation (including some community service and regular drug/...alcohol testing) into a dismissed case, meaning my record is still clear today. Not only did Shawn do a good job representing me, but his communication was also solid throughout the process. He did a good job of conveying possible outcomes and explaining their potential implications for me and my future. Ultimately, I perceive we were able to navigate the legal process to one of the best possible results, for which I'm appreciative of his support and would recommend him highly.
