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

I reached out to Shawn after having some assault charges pressed against me for a quick consult. His friendly demeanor, openness with information and willingness to advise me made me very comfortable with him. This was a very stressful situation with possible prison time at stake. He stayed calm and ...painted a picture of all possible outcomes, but also what his best case scenario for me would be. He fought for me and worked with the prosecutor to figure out the best proposal. After some negotiating and work on my part, 6 months later all charges were dismissed. Shawn's professionalism is unrivalled. I highly recommend his services if anyone is ever in need of an attorney.

After receiving a DWI in Washington DC and facing serious jail time for being a repeat offender I was fortunate enough to find Shawn. Not only did he put my mind at ease but he did everything he could to keep me from spending any extended period of time in jail . Shawn was honest and straight up from... the very beginning and after almost 2 years of court dates I got a suspended sentence and and didn't miss anytime away from my newborn daughter . I have unfortunately used many lawyers and Shawn is with a doubt the best I have seen . I highly recommend him .

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.
