Shawn S Sukumar

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 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.

When I was looking for an attorney, I met with quite a few. I found Mr. Sukumar to be not only knowledgeable and professional, but, importantly, personal as well. As a layperson, I found it very easy to get confused by the legal process, a process that is anxiety inducing. Fortunately, Shawn took gr...eat time to explain the legal process, clarify the legal jargon, and answer all of my questions with unwavering patience. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have an attorney who you have a good relationship with and with whom you can communicate readily. Shawn Sukumar provided great representation. I recommend him highly.

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 .
