This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent lawyer!

Brent worked on my case for two years and fought hard. I was very pleased with my settlement and the experience I had with him personally and his staff. He was always available for any questions or concerns I may have had. I definitely recommend him!

Car accident and personal injury claim

Brent, at Sumner Law Group really did an excellent job with my car accident case. I know that there are a lot of personal injury attorneys in the St. Louis area. I talked to 4-5 before I met with Brent. Most immediately wanted to talk about settling my fender bender / personal injury claim. Brent too...k the time to dig into my case, review all of my options with my insurance company and the person who hit me. In the end I received a large settlement to cover the time I was out of work recovering, and the fact that I will have some future medical expenses. The pain and suffering I had, were fully paid out by my insurance, the other insurance company and the driver who hit my car. I write this review, because I am so happy with the professional, prompt and no give up attitude I received from the Sumner Law Group. Plus!!! I did not have to pay Brent anything upfront, even though my case was complicated and required witnesses. Overall if Brent and his team did a spectacular job. I highly recommend Brent!!

Review for Brent

I would recommend Brent to anyone that is going through the rigors of any type of personal injury delimna. He is very knowledgable and professional. I have a very busy work schedule and would have had to take a lot of time away from my own practice to handle the insurance issues with my case. Brent ...made this seemless and took care of everything for me. He also handled himself with the same professionalism with my fiance's case. We are both very happy with our experience with Mr. Sumner and would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Brent for everything you do.

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.
