About

I'm Stewart A. Sutton and I have been practicing law in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and California for over 20 years. I am a general practitioner, who helps individuals, families, employees, entrepreneurs, and small businesses solve their ordinary and sometimes extraordinary legal problems. My areas of practice include: family law; business law; personal injury; civil rights; wills and trusts; legal malpractice, real estate litigation, and appeals. I limit my practice to representing no more than a dozen litigation clients at a time.  My philosophy is to provide the highest quality legal representation to a small number of clients, instead of providing average quality legal representation to a large number of clients.  The quality of my representation is further enhanced by the fact that my clients have direct access to me, because I personally handle all communications.  By working closely with my clients, I can expedite the resolution of their cases.

Attorney Sutton is very knowledgeable and professional. I consulted with him and highly recommend him.

Several years ago one of my clients became dissatisfied and demanded a refund for work already completed. Unfortunately for me the client was an attorney and so sued me when I refused. I shopped around and found Mr. Sutton who was by far the nicest and most concerned attorney that I had spoken to. It was quickly obvious that was he genuinely interested in helping me. He recommended that I "put the matter to bed" by paying the client because it would be the cheapest and easiest thing to do. Although he was clearly correct I was incensed that my client was essentially blackmailing me because their attorney fees would be zero and mine would be significant. None the less I decided to defend my reputation even though it would be more expensive than settling the case with a refund. Mr. Sutton understood my concern for my reputation and agreed that although I was obviously in the right it was probably not the wisest financial decision I was ever going to make. His zeal in defending me and his handling of the case were such that you would have thought that that he was the one being sued. He virtually took it personally and worked overtime even though I was paying him a fixed-fee for his services!! Although we prevailed at trial, the vindictive client appealed (why not? It cost them nothing) and Mr. Sutton agreed to continue helping defend me at a substantial discount because he realized this other attorney was a.) wrong and b.) abusing their position as an attorney to try to run-up my court cost so I would stop defending myself and pay them. Thanks to Mr. Sutton's hard work and very clever approach to the issues the appeal judge was able to rule in my favor. Thank you Mr. Sutton!! I think I can reasonably say that he is one of the finest attorneys in the country due to his professionalism, concern for his clients, and work ethic. Yet, despite all his hard work he was one of the most reasonably priced attorneys that I consulted in my search. If you need legal help, do not hesitate to hire him, you'll be glad you did.

The best decision I ever made was to retain Stewart A. Sutton as my family lawyer. He was recommended by one of my co-workers. I called him on Monday; and he provided me with a free consultation the following day. Stewart A. Sutton thoroughly explained the divorce process, including the division of marital property, custody, child support, and alimony. He discussed how he would handle my case and provided me with an estimate of what my total fees would be. I retained Stewart Sutton, because he impressed me with his knowledge and experience. Not only did Stewart Sutton provide excellent representation throughout my entire case, his total fees were almost 25% less than his initial estimate.
