FIRST DUI EVER & SCARED TO DEATH (MD RESIDENT)

Mark Sutton is a fresh breath of air and one who I have been very please with so far. He took his time to explain what could possibly be the out come of a hug mistake on my part. I wasn’t even driving which is the sad part however I own my mistake and look forward to our day in Court. I will update t...his review once I know the outcome. Fingers crossed. Please do yourself a favor and hire this gentleman! You won’t regret this choice!!

Superior Performance!

I could not have hired a better attorney for my case. During my first consultation with Mr. Sutton he explained every aspect of the charges brought against me and shared his knowledge of handling similar cases. That gave me some hope. His office staff was professional and polite and provided timel...y correspondence on very important Hearing dates. Ultimately, his 20+ years of experience as a criminal defense attorney gave me the legal standing I needed to have my case dismissed, and more importantly, that saved my job! I can see why he is highly respected in the legal community. I highly recommend him to my friends and family. If you value your freedom and your job, then you definitely want Mark Sutton on your side.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
