    • I do not recommend Samuel Wasserson.

    When I contacted him first he told me the case was no big deal. A pending divorce to be finalized. Once he received his retainer check he was increasingly unresponsive. He filed some paperwork that was rejected by the court. I never even was informed. I only learned about it by calling the court myself. How could someone like this make a living in his profession is beyond me. Stay clear from this guy.

  2. We avoided a war.

    • I recommend Samuel Wasserson.
    • I hired Samuel more than 3 years ago.
    • Samuel handled my Divorce / Separation matter.
    • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

    Mr. Wasserson advised that he would try to handle this to keep it from getting nasty. When the other side started acting snippy in Court, my lawyer came down on them pretty heavy. After that, we were able to work things out by settling.

  3. We held down the cost

    • I recommend Samuel Wasserson.
    • I hired Samuel more than 3 years ago.
    • Samuel handled my Child Custody matter.
    • I have previously worked with no lawyers.

    Our matter started out with a great deal of bitterness and hostility,but Sam's steady hand showed that we'd be better served by working together and shelving our egos. As a result, the costs involved were greatly reduced and our matter moved along smoothly without a lot of unnecessary bitterness.

    • I recommend Samuel Wasserson.
    • I hired Samuel 1-3 years ago.
    • Samuel handled my Estate Planning matter.
    • I have previously worked with 6-10 lawyers.

    Sam helped my family with a comprehensive estate plan that accounted for all contingencies. Sam thought of things that we never would have. He took the time to get to know us and understand our needs. Thanks for a great job Sam!
