Great DUI Representatio

In DC I picked a DUI charge. I was really scared and nervous and very concerned about my job. I found Price Benowitz through google and read the reviews. I called the office and the Client Manager there recommended I speak to Shawn Sukumar. Shawn broke down DC law for me, and explained everything to ...me. He really put me at ease because not only did he answer all my questions, but he pro-actively gave me answers for questions I didn’t even think about. Right after the consultation, I knew this was the guy for the job. So I hired him. I could tell he was very knowledgeable and responsive, and those were the exact qualities I knew I wanted in my attorney. Shawn kept me up to date during the process, and believe it or not I beat the DUI. My case was thrown out of court because of the hard legal work of Shawn Sukumar. I would highly recommend Shawn Sukumar for any Criminal Defense Matter in DC. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. Thanks Shawn!

DUI case.

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.

A Professional, Knowledgeable and Caring Attorney

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.

All around excellent lawyer.

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.

a great aggressive lawyer that works for his clients best interests

Shawn represented me in a DUI case (my fourth) and was able to get the case dismissed because DC couldn't find my file. my case was old so they had problems locating the file but Shawn was able to get it dismissed on the first court date. He's very aggressive and kept me informed throughout witho...ut sugarcoating anything.
