About
Steve completed both his undergraduate and graduate education in his home state of South Carolina, graduating from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1992. While at the USC School of Law, Steve was inducted into the academic honor society of the "Order of the Wig and Robe" for superior academic achievement.After graduating from law school, Steve became a state prosecutor. His primary case load consisted of prosecuting DUI, felony DUI, reckless homicide, and vehicular offenses, as well as other drug and alcohol related charges. This experience not only gave Steve the opportunity to develop and enhance his court room skills in the trial of driving related offenses, it also gave him a valuable "insider's knowledge" of how the prosecution approaches these cases. In 1995, Steve opened his own practice as a criminal defense attorney, with a special focus on defending clients accused of DUI and other driving offenses. Since then, Steve has developed a reputation as a knowledgeable, skilled, and aggressive DUI lawyer. He is very familiar with the nuances of the South Carolina DUI/Implied Consent laws, which can be quite complex. Steve has been a guest lecturer for magistrates, judges, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, law school students, and business associations in the area of DUI law. Steve has also appeared numerous times on television, radio, and newspapers regarding DUI topics from the defense perspective. Steve currently represents clients in over 25 courts in Upstate South Carolina. These courts include Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg, Pickens and Laurens counties; as well as the city/municipal courts of Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg, Simpsonville, Greer, Fountain Inn, Easley, Clemson, Central, and Laurens.

Reviews
Everyone in the office was extremely knowledgable, friendly, and professional. Mr. Sumner and Jessica helped us to feel at ease right away. Every step along the way was thoroughly explained. Any questions we had throughout the process were answered promptly and accurately. I am confident we hired the right attorney!
They were very helpful, and worth every penny. The level of professionalism exceeded my expectations.
Steve and Erica are extremely knowledgeable about law. Jessica and Hillary are very professional and courteous.
I couldn't recommend any lawyer higher than Steve Sumner. I was actually referred to him from a friend and she had spoken so highly of him. He and his staff have always treated me with kindness. Amazing results!
Attorney Steve Sumner is a hard fighter. He will 100 percent fight for you from the date he's hired through the end of the case. Great results!
Steve and his staff have done a wonderful job working for me on a traffic ticket. They are very thorough, well prepared and provide great customer service. I recommend them highly to anyone who needs an attorney in a situation involving an automobile.
I was always treated with respect from the moment I stepped into their office. Very professional, but kind and reassuring...making a very stressful, difficult experience a bit easier to tolerate. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with their services and the outcome of my case.
I was in a bad way when I first visited Steve Sumner. Steve told me not to worry! To go back to doing what I do and let them do what they do. That's what I did and they came through! So happy I hired Steve Sumner!
I couldn't have received better help. My case was handled amazingly well. I appreciate everything Steve Sumner and his team did for me that resulted in my case having the best possible outcome. To them I give my deepest gratitude.
After several referrals(one from a cop friend) I called in on a Sunday not expecting a return call till Monday. I was called in less than ten minutes and was immediately starting to feel relaxed and more at ease. I set up to come in the following day and the experience just got better. Never having dealt with a law firm I was scared to death. No need. From the time I got off the elevator through a very relaxed intake process I knew I had made the right choice. Through the process I was informed when I needed to be but not overwhelmed. And when it came court time man were they prepared. My file was the size of a phone book with all kinds of legal paperwork that Steve and his staff had prepared for my case. Steve was at home in the courtroom and very relaxed and seemed very well liked by all the staff even the cop who arrested me which I hoped was a good thing. After he spent an hour or more doing legal arguments with the other side he brought me great news and I was not convicted. The whole process was over a year long a tense but it was a first class ride all the way and I cannot thank Steve and his team enough. Truly in a league of there own!
