Horrible Divorce but a Great Experience

I can not begin to tell you how wonderful Sumner Riddick is. I had a very messy divorce with a lot on the line for me. My divorce was something I did not want to do but had to for the well being of my infant son and myself. I was not in a place to be strong and fight and I needed the house (down paym...ent and equity) and I needed sole legal and physical custody. He did everything for me. All I had to worry about was taking care of my son and I left the rest up to him. My divorce lasted 15 months and cost me money but it was worth every penny! I got everything I originally asked for and did not even have to step foot inside a court room. Now 2 years later I moved out of state and we are doing wonderful....the other party did not get anything but hefty legal fees and rightfully so. My friends are now going through their own divorces and let me tell you I wish I could refer Mr. Riddick to them because he was classy and honest.

Best experience!

Going through a divorce is awful. Sumner was so understanding and supportive. Moments I was ready to throw in the towel, he helped me not to. He is so knowledgeable and understands what's best for you. He cares so much about the children and what is the best for them. He was always there to answ...er every question and always followed up To make sure you were doing what you were supposed to do. The best part was it wasn't about winning, it was doing what was best for you, your family and your future!!

Nobody will fight harder for you!

Sumner was actually recommended to me as the second best divorce attorney for Gwinnett County. I disagree...He is the BEST! He listens attentively, asks all the right questions up front, and makes sure he is more than prepared to represent you and handle your case from any angle the 'other side' mi...ght hit you with. He is honest and won't just tell you what you would like to hear. Even if my case had not turned out in my favor I would honestly say that no one could have represented the best interests of my children as well as Sumner did. There just aren't enough words to express the gratitude, admiration, and respect I have for him!

Sumner Rocks!

I hired Sumner to represent me in my divorce. I trust him, the advice he provided, and the hard truths that he sometimes had to communicate to me. I feel that he treated me with respect and kept his billing as low as possible, and that he was most definitely looking out for my best interests. I wo...uld definitely use Sumner again in the future (although I hope I don't have to). ;-)

Divorce and separation lawyer | Mar 17

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Sumner is an amazing attorney. He is very well respected in the community. His knowledge of the law is always top notch and he is not afraid to fight for what is right."

Joseph Zdrilich

Family lawyer | Nov 04

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have had the opportunity to both litigate domestic custody matters against Mr. Riddick and work with him as a guardian ad litem in a contested custody matter. As a domestic attorney, he is one of the few I know who brings to his advocacy both a high level of care and conscientiousness for his clients and their objectives and the formidable trial skills it takes to help them realize those objectives. He comes to court prepared and knows that the best way to achieve a settlement is to be prepared to try your client's case. As a guardian ad litem, I can state unequivocally that he was diligent in his research, talking to all parties who had facts to share, and he used this information and the credibility he built with both sides not only to form the basis of his report but to forge a consensus that allowed the parties to reach an amicable settlement. I recently referred another attorney to Mr. Riddick to serve as a GAL and their feedback has also been overwhelmingly positive."

"As a criminal defense attorney, I have had the opportunity to refer quite a few clients to Sumner Riddick. Without fail, they call to tell me what an outstanding job he did when representing them. Not only is he brilliant at what he does, but, his courtroom presence speaks volumes as to his preparedness and knowledge of the law. I strongly endorse Sumner Riddick."

Ramon Alvarado

Marta Noriega-Allen

Family lawyer | Feb 26

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Sumner is a skilled and assertive advocate for his clients. We recently represented opposing parties and while we were not able to resolve the case by settlement, Sumner conducted himself with poise and diligence in the courtroom. He secured a very favorable ruling in his client's favor. I highly recommend and endorse his work."

Samuel Siemon

Family lawyer | Feb 26

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"We have had numerous cases with Sumner and his firm. They are strong advocates and always have the best interest of their clients at heart. I happily endorse Sumner Riddick."

Christine Koehler

Family lawyer | Feb 11

Relationship: Co-worker

"Sumner is the perfect domestic attorney for you if you want someone to protect you and those that you love when you find yourself in a marriage that is dissolving or in a situation where a prior divorce order is no longer feasible because of a change in job situations, child custody matters, etc. He is a straight shooter who will not create litigation to run up large legal bills. He will not create an environment that will not allow you to co-parent with your former spouse in the future. If more divorce lawyers handled themselves like Sumner does, many families, even dissolved ones, would benefit. I highly recommend Sumner's services and not just because he is my law partner."

Charles Crowe

Family lawyer | Nov 21

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"As his associate attorney, I have seen how Sumner handles client matters both inside and outside of the courtroom. Sumner is at all times prepared, organized, and articulate. His advocacy skills are second to none and he places his clients' interests above all else. For these reasons, I consider Sumner one of the most effective attorneys in the state of Georgia."
