Compassionate, Smart, Kind, Helpful, Courteous and Respectful

Ms. Sukaram answered all our questions, gave us options, listened to our concerns, and we feel she is truly passionate about her work. She responded to emails very quickly and if we every need an attorney we will definitely call her.

Outstanding!

Now Mrs. Sukaram is a very smart and intelligent attorney, For my particular case I met with a whole array of attorneys. I selected Mrs. Sukaram because she took the time to explore my options, listen to what I had to say and most of all she did not pressure me.I believe her when she said she worke...d day and night on my case, in the court room she did exactly as we had planned and I won the case. Excellent work!!!!

Avvo Rating

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.
