Dwi case

Miss Taylon was the best lawer i could imagine of getting being truly honest. She made sure to explain every single detail pro and con about my dwi case. With me not being american and living in the states for only 6 years at the time of my arrest i was very confused with the consequences that a dwi ...could bring for myself and my immigration process as well, but miss Taylon was very patient and was willing to work with me and help me win this case and get my points taken off my record. I truly appreciate her and her company efforts of helping and setting me on the right track for me and and my 9month old son.

Wonderful Experience

Taylon was great. I was confused on what to do, and after the first consultation to hire her, she directed me and what steps to follow and explained the options available. I was immediately put at ease.

DWI

When I contacted Ms. Sumners I was in desperate need of help. I had been fighting a Felony DWI with another lawyer for 2 years and that lawyer Told me just accept it, you're going to jail and getting a felony. After researching multiple lawyers I found Ms. Sumners and Mr. Passanise. For the first ...time I felt like someone was on my side fighting for me. When we went to court both of them were ready to fight for me. They knew all the details of my case and picked apart everything that the prosecutor came up with. After a stressful time waiting on the judges final answer...WE WON!!!!! MY CASE WAS DISMISSED!!! I highly recommend Mr. Passanise and Ms. Sumners. They were great to work with each individually and as a team there isn't anyone else I'd rather have in my corner. #Blessed

SIMPLY THE BEST!

Taylon Sumners (“Taylon”) is the best! It’s really that simple, she is the BEST! Her insight, and ability to represent me in this matter was off the charts, and not measurable. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for her expertise, professionalism, and aggressiveness in handling my case. The ...thought of “surrounding yourself with “like-kind professionals” able to work at a high level proficiency and expertise beyond measure, this would describe her staff and associates. They were great to work with during this legal process, and my venture into the courts. This was the first time I had to deal with the courts within this capacity, and it was overwhelming. However, Taylon and her staff calmed me down, walked me through the process, expectations, procedures, and their strategy. When I spoke to other attorneys, they instantly recommended a plea agreement. Taylon took one look at the police report, and said we have problems with this, and how they executed my probable cause arrest. Knowing that the charges against me were frivolous, I was still concerned with how a judge would look at the matter. Taylon and her associates dissected every document, and was able to effectively communicate with the judge the faults, and many problems with my case. I understand a lot of people will say they did not commit this crime, and they’re being wrongfully prosecuted, you hear it all the time. But, I knew I was innocent of the allegations being made, and with the effective arguments Taylon presented, THE PROSECUTOR ENDED UP DROPPING / DISMISSING ALL CHARGES IN ONE OF INITIAL HEARINGS. I suspect the Prosecutor looked at Taylon, and instantly knew – they were no match for her strong advocacy, and defense in my case. I owe Taylon and her team more than I could ever express, or put into words. Thank you for giving me my life back!
