Attorney Steve Sumner named to Best Lawyers® 2026 in DUI/DWI Defense
August 21, 2025
Attorney Steve Sumner, a leading advocate for clients facing DUI charges across Upstate South Carolina, has once again earned national recognition. For the tenth consecutive year, Sumner has been named to The Best Lawyers in America® 2026 in the field of DUI/DWI Defense — a distinction reserved for the profession’s top attorneys.
Widely considered the gold standard in legal rankings, Best Lawyers honors are determined exclusively by peer review. Lawyers cannot pay to be included, making the designation a singular mark of professional excellence. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
This recognition comes on the heels of additional accolades for the firm: both Sumner and his law partner, Scott Todd, were recently named to South Carolina’s Legal Elite 2025 for DUI Defense, with Sumner receiving top honors statewide in the category.
“Being recognized year after year by my peers is truly meaningful,” said Sumner. “It reflects the dedication we bring to every client and every case.”

Sumner & Todd represents clients in more than 25 courts across the Upstate, including Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg, Pickens, and Laurens counties, as well as the city and municipal courts of Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg, Simpsonville, Mauldin, Greer, Fountain Inn, Easley, Clemson, Central, and Laurens.
