Great Pro Bono work

Rodney helped with a pro-bono bankruptcy and even on the last day was able to take care of things that hadn't showed in a different report. He is friendly and welcoming and was even friendly to my puppy!

The Man

A true professional !! Mr.Sumpter wears his profession like a glove. The Man , with charisma , style , leadership and his incredible knowledge of law, rendered my narcissistic x husband silent,which no man had ever done!! Instant gratification for me lol Mr.Sumpter successfully won my litigation dis...pute !!! I referred him to my friend Shelly. After numerous failed attempts to collect dept from former spouse ,I strongly advised her to contact Mr.Sumpter. After years of failed attempts.Shelly had all but given up. Finally,reluctantly, she contacted Mr.Sumpter. The Man won, Shelly was very happy and I never ,once , lol said ,"I told you so".!!! Sincerest, heartfelt, thank you, and God bless Rodney Sumpter ,')

The Absolute BEST

A year ago, my nieces were involved in a horribly tragic accident. To ensure their welfare in the future, we hired Mr. Sumpter to represent them. Not only did we receive prompt, top notch assistance and advice, but he and Sarah went above and beyond the call of duty in various ways, and were so compl...etely available to us. The heart of these two wonderful human beings is practically unheard of in a law office. ANGELS they are. My family and I felt completely cared for throughout the entire process, completely safe and protected every step of the way. Not once did we ever have to deal with doubts nor any of the "legal stuff". Our focus remained on my nieces. What a Godsend. I am infinitely grateful to them, and recommend them to everyone. Simply THE BEST. There is no comparison.
