Firm Information
Overview
At Sumner Law in Walnut Creek, California, we represent injured individuals and grieving families across the Bay Area. Our practice encompasses personal injury, catastrophic injuries, bicycle and pedestrian accidents, wrongful death, motor vehicle accidents, public entity liability, premises liability and product liability claims. Clients who turn to us find not only skilled legal counsel but also allies who understand the difficult road toward recovery.
Our founder, Scott Sumner, brings more than 30 years of legal experience to every case we handle, having built his career at several prominent personal injury firms before establishing our practice in 2014. Throughout his career, he has earned the respect of colleagues, opposing counsel and judges alike for his skill in litigating – and winning – challenging cases against formidable defendants. He has held an AV Preeminent* peer-review rating through Martindale-Hubbell, the highest distinction available for over three decades.
What distinguishes our firm is the personal perspective we bring to each matter. Having survived three serious accidents himself, Mr. Sumner possesses a firsthand understanding of the physical, emotional and financial hardships that injury victims and their loved ones endure. This experience informs how we practice: with genuine compassion paired with relentless advocacy for those harmed by another's negligence.
We recognize that choosing legal representation during a difficult time can feel daunting, especially while managing treatment and recovery. That is why we make it our priority to listen closely to each client's circumstances, explain their options clearly and pursue favorable compensation for medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages.
We offer free initial consultations, accept credit card payments and require no upfront fees. Our clients pay nothing unless we secure a recovery on their behalf. When you're ready, we invite you to reach out and let us begin fighting for you.
*AV®, AV Preeminent®, Martindale-Hubbell Distinguished and Martindale-Hubbell Notable are certification marks used under license in accordance with the Martindale-Hubbell certification procedures, standards and policies. Martindale-Hubbell® is the facilitator of a peer-review rating process. Ratings reflect the anonymous opinions of members of the bar and the judiciary. Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ fall into two categories – legal ability and general ethical standards.
