Great Attorney!

After reading the reviews for Mark Sutter, I decided to hire him to represent my son. Upon meeting Mark I knew I made the right choice. Not only is he professional but also caring. Mark always returned my text the same day and answered all my questions. Long story short the case was dismissed. Thanks Mark for all your help!

DUI Attorney

I hired Sutter Law Group to represent by son in a recent DUI case. Mark was extremely communicative, and did an outstanding job explaining the various possible outcomes, and what he was attempting to achieve. His prices were fair, and he was able to negotiate the best possible resolution to the case. I highly recommend Suter Law Group, and wouldn't hesitate to hire Mark if I need legal services again.

Amazing Attorney

I was dealing with a DUI with a prior DUI amended to a reckless. I believe initially they wanted me to do 90 days and Mark got it down to the absolute minimum and I only have to spend 3 days in jail. Mark was a pleasure to do business with and an all-around awesome guy. I am so glad I selected him as my attorney and am very grateful for what he did for me and so will you. Thank you, Mark.

Excellent Attorney

Mark is an exceptional attorney and an asset to anyone in need of legal representation. He gave me great advice and walked me through every step of my situation. He explained things clearly and was honest about what could and could not be done. I dealt with him directly every step of the way and he assured me he would do "everything humanly possible" to work out the best deal for me. Mr. Sutter went above and beyond both in and out of the court room and was an integral part in making the most out of a tough situation. Mark is trustworthy, hard-working, and well respected.

This man is on fire, and you need a lawyer who is confident and smart like Mark working on your side. I was expecting to get a conviction and mark saved my case .Honestly, I can’t imagine what would’ve happened had I not contacted mark.

Excellent lawyer

I called Mark on a Saturday morning in fear for my husband's situation he got into and I wouldn't hear from anyone that early on Saturday morning. He responded immediately and was honest the whole way thru. My husband's case was dismissed as I was assured he will do his best to get it that way. Well he won the case and because of his amazing caring advice my husband and I are better then ever. Thanks Mark Sutter
