The worst

She doesn't return calls.. If she is a PD there is no chance of you ever seeing her. You get treated like the bottom of the barrel.

Highly Recommend

I cannot possibly say enough good things about Sunney!!! She is absolutely amazing! She handled my case with Grit and Determination and we ended up with better results than we even expected! She always put my mind at ease when I had concerns. She was also reasonably priced and her assistant is extrem...ely helpful and great at getting back to you when you have questions!

The best in the business

As someone who has had first hand experience with the legal system, Sunnye is an absolute rock star! She worked tirelessly on my case and got me instant results from the time she took it on. I had honestly seen other attorneys prior to her and all others were only concerned about making money. Su...nnye is not about that she works with YOU, for YOU! I highly recommend and will consult with her for all of my future legal needs.

Best Choice By Far

Took my Case after a consultation. Very understanding with a brilliant mind. Was completely impressed by the way she handled herself in the courtroom and the outcome was better than I expected.

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.
