Shawn S Sukumar

I work in the field of law and I know good lawyers. Shawn is an excellent - top notch attorney. He took a case which could have ended badly and delivered the best result in the fastest time possible. I was wrongly arrested for assault and my case was no papered. I wanted to prove my innocence and fil...ed an 802 - "Motion to Seal Based on Acutal Innocence." Shawn was professional, courteous and informative. And he delivered results - a big W for win. I will recommend Shawn to any friends who may need a criminal defense lawyer.

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 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.
