As Solid As They Come

Used him many times which probably isn't a good thing for me but atleast I can vouch for the man. I was looking at substantial time my parents hired him the evening before court after the court appointed attorney told us the time I would recieve the following day and claiming there was nothing left t...o do. Dannie walked into the bullpen hollared my name and introduced himself and told me to get ready to go home today. And that's what happened. Didn't care of the details when you hear release after a sometime details don't matter. Recently basically same thing happened met with him for HOURS preparing for trial and when called into the court room Dannie said the charge I was concerned about would no longer exist. Wham Bam. Now I've hired him for a civil matter. The man does his homework, spends time with you, everyone in the central Richmond area knows the Sutton name if you been in trouble. Get him

Best Attorney in Richmond

I have used Dannie Sutton for over sixteen years for numerous matters to include traffic cases and personal matters. My traffic case was reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor then reduced at another hearing to driving school. He recently handled my divorce to which I am highly satisfied with the out...come and turn around time!! During the process he was there every step of the way and answered every question I had. He is professional, compassionate, reliable, and definitely goes above and beyond for his clients. With his knowledge of law and skills your case will be handled in the proper manner. When ever I’m asked if I know an attorney I recommend Dannie and share my experiences over the years. He does not disappoint!!!

The perfect legal representation for my case.

Mr. Sutton provided excellent counsel in completing my divorce case. His casual yet professional manner and knowledge of the law and process put me at ease immediately. I had the utmost confidence in him throughout the proceedings. Particularly impressed by his responsiveness and communication in... keeping me informed through each step. He displayed urgency in answering my questions by going the extra step of communicating during weekend hours. I now consider him to be my attorney going forward on any matter that may require legal counsel. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking this great resource in working through any legal area in which he operates. Thank you, Dannie, for being the perfect attorney for my case.
