I felt very fortunate and blessed to have found Sumner Riddick to represent me in my Custody Case against my ex-husband. I was threatened with the possibility of losing my children. I wanted to find the best Attorney for myself and my kids. I needed someone that knew the law inside and out, and someo...ne that would help me fight for the truth. Sumner is such a brilliant, confident, compassionate, and straight forth honest man. He would tell me how things looked whether good or bad. He was there for me in this most difficult time of my life. He listens carefully to all my questions and comments and he responds quickly and clearly with analysis and advice aimed directly at the issue. I had not been receiving alimony from my ex for almost three years. Sumner was able to get that started back up in arrears for me. Up until a week before my trial he prepared for a custody case. We were then told that the custody part was being dropped but my ex was still seeking contempt charges. Sumner did extensive research with my case and spent a great deal of time becoming intimate with every detail. He came to trial looking sharp, prepared, and thought on his feet with any come back or rebuttal. Sumner was very attentive to me throughout the whole process. He responded to my emails, returned my phone calls, and really cared about getting me and my children what we deserved. This was the scariest thing that I have had to go through in my life. Sumner helped put me at ease and was confident throughout the whole case that I would come out on top. I knew when I first sat down to talk with him that there was something special about him. I will be forever grateful to this awesome man. Everyone in his office was amazing and so helpful. I would definitely recommend Sumner to all my friends and family.

Having to accompany my daughter in a custody battle for her daughter was excruciating. Fortunately we had Sumner working for us. He is not just a thorough, brilliant, talented, experienced and knowledgable attorney. He is also a reader of character, and a compassionate and scrupulously honest pers...on. By the time we went to trial he knew our case inside out and he knew every person involved inside out. He had not contented himself with hearing the facts as we related them to him. He dug out every detail, whether for or against us. He insisted on the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. He did not indulge in shady legal maneuvering. He followed the law to the letter but left no stone unturned. His psychological insight was invaluable in gauging our case and in preparing each one of us for trial. He came to trial uniquely prepared. He was sharp, attentive, nothing escaped him. He thought on his feet and met every challenge square on with impeccable logic. We emerged from this horrendous case with a clear conscience. Sumner won our case with honor. As a fellow attorney, I give him a 10 out of 5. As a fellow human being I find him unparalleled. Sumner is a credit to his profession and a wonderful human being. We love him, respect him and will forever be in his debt.

Sumner represented one of my best friends in a divorce and custody battle, and I feel compelled to sing his praises. His mix of professionalism, intelligence, persistence, integrity and compassion makes him not just a great attorney, but a great partner you want by your side through one of the tou...ghest journeys in life – divorce & custody. Knowing that he was working on my friend's case gave me great peace of mind. He is untiring, he has your best interest at heart and he'll always tell you the truth. He was a saving grace in our lives. With Sumner and his team, rest assured that you have the best and brightest by your side. They give you 100% of everything they have. Thank you Sumner and team to your dedication to justice!

Sumner is Excellent! He is very firm and straight to the point which made me comfortable and gave me confidence that my situation was going to work out okay. Sumner and his team also have an extremely good handle on the workings of the Gwinnett County Court System which saved time, cost, and avoide...d much aggravation spent wondering what was happening on that end of things (I knew what was going on at EVERY STEP). He and his team utlized my funds very efficiently and in a manner that I felt i received very good value for my money, and I received a tally at the end of each month that showed how each penny was spent. Sumner also cared about me as a person (including my health) through this difficult time, which increased my confidence in Sumner and his team in knowing that they really had MY best interests at heart. The numerous awards hanging in the lobby of his office (in my opinion) are not mere tokens of commendation. They are for a job extremely well done and I would recommend Sumner to anyone who is serious about hiring one of the best attorneys in town.

Divorce is an industry that undoubtedly brings out the worst in people. Sumner Riddick navigates that industry with compassion. I cannot think of a greater thing to say about a divorce attorney. After years of seeing mankind at their worst, he still manages to see you as an individual while assist...ing you with your legal issues. I was referred to Sumner to handle my divorce. I was impressed from the moment I met him at how quickly he formulated responses. He is quick witted, which is certainly a necessary strength in his position. He was insightful enough to ask questions when necessary to gain an accurate picture of my specific situation. I wanted a legal counselor who was able to think quickly on his feet. I was not disappointed at any point in our relationship. When it came to drafting legal documents, I was exceptionally impressed with his writing skills. I attribute a large portion of my happiness with Sumner’s overall performance to the documents he drafted on my behalf. He was savvy about what to say and eloquent in how he said it. Once we established a goal, Sumner guided me towards it. He helped me stay focused on the goal as he advised me what in his experience was the best way to achieve it. He was consistently upfront with me about what was realistic and what was not. He walked me though what was important to negotiate, and what we needed to concede on. At every turn of a long divorce I was grateful Sumner was my counselor.
