The Best Attorney and Law Group

I am a client of Attorney Mark Sutter, Sutter law group he is the best. Mr. Mark and his law firm is exceptionally above the rest with knowledge and expertise, I decided to go with Sutter law firm not only because of excellent history and referrals but also of Mark experience and background as pros...ecutor and practicing attorney a marvelous combination for defense in court. I want to personally thank Mark Sutter on helping me fight false charges and getting my name cleared. It was a very tiresome process starting from the beginning till the court date but his advice and assistance not only as a professional but also as an understanding human being was greatly appreciated. I will definitely recommend Mark and his law firm to colleagues, friends and family.

Mr. Sutter is the greatest

I received my 2nd DUI and was looking for a lawyer to represent my case. After going through 15 interviews with lawyers, they all said the same thing, that I was screwed. I was referred to Mr Sutter by a friend that he helped out a lot on his case with and I was convinced. I had a meeting with him an...d that he put my mind at ease. He wanted to fight it without a doubt and was ready for anything. He gave me a price and worked with me on a very affordable payment plan. After half a year of court visits, we finally closed the case today and may I say I am extremely happy with my outcome. My punishments are completely fair and the state went a lot easier on me than I thought. Mr Sutter will fight for you and you will not regret it. Intelligent, determined, sophisticated and an all around great guy. You want Mr Sutter on your side, trust me.

MEDICAL CODING SPECIALIST

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MR. SUTTER from the bottom of my heart for all his dedication to my Son's gun possesion case. Not only was Mr. Sutter professional, loyal, hard working but was also compessionate Nd friendly. He fought againsts all odds and was victorious in defending my son and clearing him of... all 16 charges. He proved my son to be innocent. He was friendly and even gave us payment plan and a discount. Again thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Completely satisfied by Mr. Sutter

I am only 20 years of age and had no idea who to contact when I was being faced with a class four felony. having no other resources I did some research online, because I wanted only the best criminal defense attorney and I sure did find the one! I was absolutely overjoyed when he met with me for our ...first consultation and he, without hesitation, confirmed to me that we would win the case and get this of my record. I was only 19 at the time and very nervous, but Mr. Sutter always made me feel comfortable and hopeful. Throughout the several court hearings, he was always supportive and truly fought his hardest to get me out of this mess with the best case scenario. Without surprise, Mr. Sutter exceeded my expectations. On the day of my final court appearance, two out of the three charges were dismissed and I walked away with only probation and some community service. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Sutter to anyone and everyone. He will work with you, regardless of who you are.

You're in good hands with mr. Sutter

Mr. Sutter did an absolutely exceptional job on my felony case. He was recommended to me from several friends of mine and they had nothing but the best to say about him. So I took it upon myself to see what they were talking about and sure enough, from the second I walked into to his office, I knew I... was in good hands. He gives you every piece of information that you may need to keep yourself at ease throughout the entire process. Going through a case is an extremely stressful period of time, and he does everything he can to keep you at ease and to assure that everything will be alright. Although he may be busy at times, he always gets back to you by the end of the day. He got me supervision on my dui and and probation on my felony case.
