There's no shortage of lawyers in the Upstate, but not all lawyers are equal. Steve Sumner is a seasoned attorney who strongly believes in justice and has extensive experience in his field. He is the Upstate's only Super Lawyer dedicated to DUI defense, and he's been named 2019 "Lawyer of the Year" for DUI defense in the Upstate.
Being arrested for DUI is a traumatic experience, and the loss of your freedom - even for a short amount of time - can be stressful. But remember, an arrest is not a conviction. All that's needed to arrest or charge someone is suspicion on an officer's part that a crime occurred; however, proof beyond a reasonable doubt is required for a conviction.
Steve graduated from the USC School of Law in 1992. As a student, he was named to the "Order of the Wig and Robe" for superior academic achievement. Additionally, Steve was part of the "Mock Trial Competition" winning team at USC, which represented USC in the southeastern regional of the national competition.
I highly recommend Steve as a lawyer. His entire staff is very friendly, punctual, and diligent. They made my time of need less stressful and took care of everything without me having to worry about a thing! I can't thank them enough for everything they've done for me. A very hard fighter all the way down the line.
If you or a loved one has been arrested for DUI, the most important thing to remember is that an arrest is NOT a conviction! All that is needed to arrest or charge someone is suspicion on an officer's part that a crime occurred. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is required for a conviction. The standard of proof needed to convict is much higher than the suspicion standard needed to justify an arrest.
