So I was facing Charges for driving while drunk in DC and they found my concealed carry (pistol) under my seat and my Virginia License to conceal carry wasn’t recognized by the District of Columbia. But Thankfully Mr. Shawn Sukumar’s amazing Knowledge and experience in his field was able to get the gun charges dropped and I was able to avoid any jail time (aside from the initial arrest) and in the end had 6 months unsupervised Probation with 90 hours of community service, 12 hours of an alcohol class, online driving safety course, Online MADD course and a 100 fee I believe was it. And after all that the judge signed a Youth act order meaning my conviction was removed from my record. All in all I was very satisfied with the end result of my case. Highly recommend this gentleman, he is very professional and makes sure his clients understand everything and is very good about staying in contact with his clients and keeping them updated. You would Definitely want him representing you if you needed an attorney.

Sukumar is the best lawyer! I hired him for my criminal case that he fought so hard for me for in my defense that the case was dismissed. I don't have enough words to describe how amazing the experience with him and the firm was. He works very hard to make sure you have winning results. He communicates with you by phone or email. He follow ups with you about your cases. I could not have asked for a better lawyer. He was awsome! From the moment I first hired him to represent me until my case was over, I was at ease and comfortable with him handling my case. If you need a criminal defense lawyer, I highly recommend Shawn Sukumar! Thank you Shawn!

Shawn was honest, fair , smart and reliable. I referred him for a friend and he put them at ease with the situation. Great job Shawn ! Thank you

I retained Shawn when a false accusation threatened to destroy my career and potentially more. Shawn was calm, knowledgeable, and reassuring. He walked me through the entire process and explained how it would work. Ultimately the accusation was dropped but Shawns presence and knowledge helped guide me through this terrible period. As a lawyer myself, I can apperciate a top tier lawyer when I see him. Shawn is one of those lawyers.

I just want to think you so much for all the help! I can’t thank you enough. I applied for a government position that I needed to get a Security Clarance for a couple months back and thanks to you I was able to get that job since my DUI case has been dismissed. If I would have had a conviction on my record I wouldn’t have had a opportunity. So thanks again! I am going to keep your information for the future for anyone that may need your services. For anyone out there looking for an experienced attorney, Shawn is the guy to call!

Shawn sukumar helped me over come a tough period in my life, he was their for me as lawyer and a friend. He most importantly kept me out of prison so that I could be able to continue to focus on my education and learn from my pervious mistake. He is a fantastic lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney, this man had my best interest at heart and I can say with a huge amount of confidence that he will do everything in his power to protect and fight for you.

With this being my first time for any of this type of matter Shawn was very helpful throughout the process. I could not have been more happier with the process. Highly recommend him to anyone.

I would've rated 100 of 5 stars if I was given that option to rate Mr Sukumar, but unfortunately it's just 5/5 lol. Mr sukumar was very professional and calmed, he reassured me from the day I contacted him that everything will go in my favor and that's exactly how it went. He was very knowledgeable of the laws and also the courtroom. The strategy he laid out made it impossible for the prosecutor to have a case against me. He made me feel confident and optimistic about my case. Told me what the judge decision would be based on, and that's exactly how it turned out despite all the evidence the prosecution team had against me. Forever Thankful for Mr Sukumar.

I was involved in an incident I was wrongly accused of. I searched around looking for Lawyers to represent me. I called several Lawyers but was not satisfied with what they were saying. I felt most of them were just money driven. I had a sitdown with Shawn Sukumar and the way he explained everything and how we were going to address the situation was extraordinary. I signed up that same day. And got the best results ever. I thank God for Blessing with Shawn Sukumar and pray that he blesses him abundantly in all areas of Life. Thank you Shawn Sukumar. God Bless

Humans make mistakes and lets just say I made one. I felt as though everything I had worked for during the past decade, was going to be for nothing. Feeling hopeless doesn't begin to describe how I felt, until I met with Mr. Sukumar. I did some online research and it was clear that he was someone who would fight for his clients and remain honest, diligent, kind and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. This last year has been one exceeded expectation after the other. Every time I emailed Mr. Sukumar or called him, he'd respond, even if it was late at night or on a weekend. His vast knowledge of the law, honest communication and kindness has been more than I could have ever asked for. One of the things that meant the most to me is that he always informed me about what would or could happen, before it happened, so there were no real surprises. He always prepared you for the worst but hoped for the best. His optimism and due diligence are some of the reasons why I can say that my case was dismissed. You know that when you enter a courtroom and everyone acknowledges your lawyer with the utmost respect, that you made the right decision. So, if you find yourself in a situation where you need help but are unsure of who to call, trust me, call Mr. Sukumar. You won't be disappointed. He has forever changed my life and I will be indebted to him for forever.

I found Mr. Sukumar to be solidly competent and equally aggressive and client-focused, with a good client manner, all good traits for a criminal defense lawyer – and what a client should be looking for when looking for defense counsel, as I was. Moreover, I found him to be knowledgeable, non-judgmental and completely centered on protecting client rights – someone I would recommend without reservation or hesitation, based on my firsthand experience. My case concerned a potential Federal criminal investigation I'd become emeshed in, which Mr. Sukumar quickly and aggressively got in front of. Those charged with a crime (or who are being investigated or may otherwise put into a tough situation) tend to believe they can talk their way out or explain a situation, even if nothing really is there, so it goes away. That’s naïve, especially facing a trained investigator who can legally say anything to the interviewee, true or false, act friendly and/or minimize potential consequences (e.g., “You have the chance to help yourself . . “) to make their case, which is their goal. Investigators count on your not wanting to be disrespectful, or hang up or say you don't want to talk, which appears suspicious. That same investigator is required to be truthful to an attorney, so, also in my firsthand experience, you want a Shawn Sukumar or someone similarly competent and experienced to be that attorney. I’m fortunate to have gone with Mr. Sukumar. Yes, his hourly rate is high but fully justified in terms of his obvious client dedication and focus, and his aggressively acting to obtain the desired client result. Whether the same positive result would have happened (they backed off) with other counsel is speculation. After our initial meeting, I do know I was able to relax for the first time in several days, confident I was in good legal hands. That confidence turned out to be fully justified.

Shawn glows with congeniality, exudes professionalism, and projects absolute integrity, WALKING THE WALK. On trial day we didn't even have to enter the courtroom, Shawn already had the case dismissed! Now that's results! And then we were blown further away when Shawn informed us the there would be a partial refund since he got the charges dropped? Wow!! Too many others would never have even mentioned let alone offered such a bonus/windfall. Shawn didn't make promises or excuses, he just executed. This edifying experience has imparted upon me a new faith and appreciation in the law/legal representation profession. SO WHEN YOU NEED HELP HIRE SHAWN SUKUMAR!!
