Shawn Sukumar of Price Benowitz is one of the most virtuous people I have met. He works hard, he carries himself with the utmost integrity, and is a caring individual. His professionalism and commitment shines through, which also is seen as a clear passion for his job and his clients. I would highly recommend Shawn to anyone seeking a criminal defense attorney, though I have not had to use his legal services myself. We have been friends since 2006 (Almost 10 years)!

Shawn is one of the most dedicated, talented attorneys that I have had the pleasure of working with. As a legal assistance attorney, I am often called upon to provide attorney referrals to clients in need of representation in criminal law matters. Shawn is one of the few attorneys that I would recommend without reservation. His commitment to his clients and passion for the law are unmatched.

I hired Shawn and his team to help me out when I was facing false allegations of sexual assault. My case turned out amazing, and I received a not guilty verdict. Shawn was absolutely instrumental early on when I was questioned by Law Enforcement. He made sure that I didn't self incriminate myself and always looked out for my best interests. Once charges where brought against me, I knew that Shawn mitigated a significant amount of potential damage. During my case, he was also instrumental in making sure that my case didn't last forever, and my right to a speedy trial was upheld. Thank You Very much Shawn and the team at Price Benowitz for ensuring my liberty. You can't ask for a better verdict than - Not Guilty.

I have known Shawn for over 10 years, and in that time he has been nothing less than passionate and driven to achieve the best possible results in everything he does. While I have not had an opportunity to utilize his legal prowess, he would be the first person I called if needed. Shawn is intelligent and caring. He brings a sense of humanity and compassion to any situation. I highly recommend obtaining his services.

I have known Shawn Sukumar since 2005 and he is a dedicated and talented criminal defense attorney. He is skilled and passionate. I recommend hiring Shawn for your legal issues!

I was searching for a good attorney to help me out with a legal matter, and found a blog article written by a staff member at Price Benowitz detailing the legal and procedural issues involved. I contacted Price Benowitz and one other firm, but Price Benowitz was much more prompt and helpful in their reply. After visiting Price Benowitz I was put in touch with Shawn, and during our first meeting he made me feel much more comfortable with what was going on and it seemed he was well informed about the issues. I like to be a well-informed consumer and knowing that price Benowitz had not only experience with the issues but a personal history with such cases made me more comfortable with my decision to retain their services. I was very happy with the results of my case. Shawn kept me well informed and answered many questions about the process. He mitigated all risks, and was very knowledgeable about the best ways to control the issues. Shawn was very articulate in court, and he had an excellent rapport with the other court officers. He had a stage presence in the court room that made him stand out amongst the other attorneys present, though he was always concise and professional. I would recommend Shawn for anyone that needs legal assistance in DC. Shawn took the time to take me from place to place and made me feel comfortable throughout my dealings with the DC court system.

Shortly after my 21st birthday I was charged with a DWI within that same year a DUI, 2 separate charges; both incidents very circumstantial. I accepted responsibility though I was in complete disagreement with what the prosecutions in court were suggesting I receive for "punishment". I contacted Price Benowitz by "walk-in" due to their office being walking distance from the court building. During my free consultation I was referred to Mr. Sukumar, he accepted my case and we began working toward goals I laid out. He assured me I would have to do my part while he guaranteed to do his (stay out of trouble, handle daily responsibility, keep-clean, stay positive, etc.) I did all of this. My case had ups and downs due to other personal conflict and obligation aside from these situations. He continually gave advice to fortify my chances at trial and sentencing. The chance of mandatory jail time was expected and ideas of it were being thrown around between the judge and prosecution... ended up with community service and probation. Prosecution against me, my own probation officer not advocating all the POSITIVE and PRODUCTIVE things I was doing, Shawn Sukumar held his ground and fought diligently for me. I give thanks for him all the time, and am grateful for his optimism. He researches all aspects; definitely a man with a good heart and pure intention for his clients. Thank You.
