DUI case

So I was facing Charges for driving while drunk in DC and they found my concealed carry (pistol) under my seat and my Virginia License to conceal carry wasn’t recognized by the District of Columbia. But Thankfully Mr. Shawn Sukumar’s amazing Knowledge and experience in his field was able to get the g...un charges dropped and I was able to avoid any jail time (aside from the initial arrest) and in the end had 6 months unsupervised Probation with 90 hours of community service, 12 hours of an alcohol class, online driving safety course, Online MADD course and a 100 fee I believe was it. And after all that the judge signed a Youth act order meaning my conviction was removed from my record. All in all I was very satisfied with the end result of my case. Highly recommend this gentleman, he is very professional and makes sure his clients understand everything and is very good about staying in contact with his clients and keeping them updated. You would Definitely want him representing you if you needed an attorney.

Not for Everyone

Shawn is a fine attorney, and I’m confident he is satisfactory for DUI charges or other simple criminal matters, but respectfully is is junior varsity if you’re in need of a serious defense. At best, Shawn is slow to understand complex matters and surprisingly naive to human nature and inept at how ...to strategize a defense strategy when faced with a non-cookie cutter issue. Unfortunately, he was also very adversarial with me when I was most vulnerable and needed help the most. If you are faced with a matter that could mean your career or freedom, you can roll the dice with Shawn Sukumar or hire a real lawyer.

DUI Charge Dismissed

I just want to think you so much for all the help! I can’t thank you enough. I applied for a government position that I needed to get a Security Clarance for a couple months back and thanks to you I was able to get that job since my DUI case has been dismissed. If I would have had a conviction on my ...record I wouldn’t have had a opportunity. So thanks again! I am going to keep your information for the future for anyone that may need your services. For anyone out there looking for an experienced attorney, Shawn is the guy to call!

DC DUI Case Dismissed - Thank you Shawn!

I am a young professional so potentially being charged with a DUI was very nerve wrecking. I spoke with several attorneys but Shawn by far was the most professional and attentive. He made the process from the beginning to the actual court date as simple as possible. In the end, my case was DISMISSED.... Shawn is the best! I highly recommend him and would work with him in the future.

Put Powerful Proficiency On Your Side!

I did my homework to hire the best for my DUI charge in the District. Shawn Sukumar is the best! Without his expertise and attention to detail the fact that my 4th Amendment rights had been violated would have been undisclosed. Mr. Sukumar cares about his clients, and loves his profession to the po...int of being an overachiever--a powerful combination!
