Brenda K. Sunby is a Top-Notch Attorney

Brenda is an extremely knowledgeable, helpful and proficient lawyer. She covered all of the bases with me regarding my case, gathered all relevant information, gave me her expectations regarding past experience and trends within the area and helped move my case to a very agreeable closure. I wholeh...eartedly endorse Brenda K. Sunby as an attorney.

Correct wording makes the difference

I needed a professional letter sent to a customer that felt my company was not giving her the facts about her timepiece and it was the miscommunication between both parties. Ms Sunby was given the facts and the letter was written with the correct wording and all facts were laid out with complete con...fidence and pride. I want to thank Brenda and I would recomend her to anyone in a split second. She is a fine knowledgeable young lady. Thank You, Brenda

Injured in car accident

I was very pleased with service that was provided to me by Attorney Sunby. She was very professional, courteous, knowledgeable and I was pleased with the results. Her assistant was also very pleasant to deal with. I would recommend Attorney Sunby to other people who have been injured in an acciden...t.

Avvo Rating

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.
