Brilliant and Compassionate

I hired Sumner for multiple contempt charges against my ex husband. Unfortunately it quickly became also a parenting plan modification when my ex husband decided to further complicate the issues. I had spent years allowing this man to bully me and keep me too consumed with fear of retaliation to seek... legal help. Sumner was the brilliant bulldog that I needed to give me the courage I had lacked. He worked tirelessly to get an outcome that was in the best interest of my children. There were many twists and turns throughout the process, including my ex ending up in jail for almost two months and the stress of legal drama being compounded with the heartache of multiple miscarriages. Sumner was always there to be a welcome voice of reason to keep me focused when I felt like giving up. He always had the uncanny ability to honestly tell me when I was being unreasonable while also showing compassion and truly seemed to care about me and my family. I only wish I had hired him for the original divorce case, as I probably wouldn't have found myself in the mess I came to him with. Sumner continues to be a wealth of knowledge and is always willing to help when I need him. He has been a God-send and I would never consider anyone else to represent me. Sumner is a wonderful person and an ingenious lawyer and I absolutely recommend him.

Modification of Alimony and Contempt Case

Mr. Riddick handled my legal case with the upmost of professionalism and courtesy. His knowledge of the law and court procedures is astounding. His efforts on this complicated case were incredible, which resulted in an outstanding performance in court and a landslide win for us. Mr. Riddick is an ...awesome family law attorney and I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of family law guidance and representation.

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!

Best divorce attorney in Gwinnett

Sumner was so easy to talk with about my situation and always easy to get ahold of whether via phone or email. Very professional. Very knowledgable. Definitely helped me come out better than I ever thought was possible. Would recommend him everyday of the week and twice on Sundays.

Sumner enabled me with information and honesty

Sumner was great to work with. I felt like he heard me, heard my concerns, and gave back honest information which enabled me to make decisions. In court, we didnt get everything I wanted. However, I got what I needed, and he warned me about the other things. We discussed our options more than a f...ew times, and I really feel like he and I did this together. He certainly held up his end, was overly prepared, and we were not surprised by the opposition. That to me was, and is, a key detail. I would hire Sumner again in a minute.
