Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  “I met Steve over a decade ago, through my recently departed friend, Reese Joye. Reese always spoke highly of Steve, and had told me about Steve’s background as a prosecutor, before he went into criminal defense work. I have visited Steve’s office in Greenville. Steve has been to my home in Atlanta. I can’t imagine having a case in the Greenville area and not hiring Steve Sumner to handle it. I regularly send him cases with complete confidence that it will be handled with skill. I have never been disappointed. Steve has a top-level staff and a first class operation.”
