• Proven firm since 1986 with big results. With Sumner Law, you get the best of both worlds: decades of legal expertise and dedicated, personalized attention from our top attorneys.
• A history of million-dollar judgements. Since we began in 1986, we’ve won hundreds of millions of dollars for our clients.
• We’re trial lawyers. Don’t select a law firm that simply wants to settle your case. When the opposition knows that the firm they’re up against will take a case to trial, that is leverage. As recently as 2024, Sumner Law won a $210,000.00 jury verdict – Top 50 jury verdicts in the United States. Use our leverage as a true jury trial firm to your benefit.
• We’re selective and low volume. When we take on your case, you are part of the Sumner Law family, and we will fight hard to get you the judgment or settlement you deserve.
• A commitment to racial justice. This is a driving force for our firm, inspiring our quest for fairness and equality for all. We have a lengthy history of fighting and winning for the discriminated.

“Battling racial discrimination has been a passion for Sumner Law since it was founded in 1986. From securing multi-million-dollar judgments for our clients to handling high-profile matters like the Marinda Griggs case in Houston, we champion the rights of those who have been wronged.

My family’s commitment to this cause runs generations deep. Charles Sumner, my great-great uncle, was a leading abolitionist senator from Massachusetts who worked closely with Abraham Lincoln to create the Emancipation Proclamation and advance civil rights.

When you choose Sumner Law, you’re gaining a proven team that will stand by you in the pursuit of racial justice.”
