Hired Attorney

I was referred to Mr. Sutton for a DUI. Mr. Sutton was honest, knowledgeable, and compassionate. He showed up at my first hearing even though he did not have to just so I wouldn't be alone. He kept me well informed throughout the process and was able to work a miraculous deal with the prosecutor that kept me out of jail and only on weekend workforce for one weekend. I now consider him to be my attorney should I ever need legal counsel again. One hell of an attorney!

Hired Attorney

Mr. Sutton provided excellent counsel in completing my divorce case. His casual yet professional manner and knowledge of the law and process put me at ease immediately. I had the utmost confidence in him throughout the proceedings. Particularly impressed by his responsiveness and communication in keeping me informed through each step. He displayed urgency in answering my questions by going the extra step of communicating during weekend hours. I now consider him to be my attorney going forward on any matter that may require legal counsel. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking this great resource in working through any legal area in which he operates. Thank you, Dannie, for being the perfect attorney for my case.

Hired Attorney

Mr. Sutton represented me in my divorce case and on a criminal charge. I went to trial and was acquitted on the criminal charge and I was very happy with the outcome of my divorce case. He is professional, courteous and aggressive in court when needed. His fees were reasonable and I was always able to easily contact him or he would return my call in timely fashion. Both he and his staff were ready to assist me and kept me updated on my case. I would definitely hire him again.

Mr. Sutton provides great advice with a professional demeanor. I needed a lawyer who was easy to work with given my busy schedule. The ease and flexibility provided working with Dannie made the entire process seem effortless. Trust was built quickly and I valued the advice provided which ended up in a dismissal of my charges. Overall I was happy with the services provided and would gladly hire again.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
