Committed and Dependable!

In the stressful days following my automobile accident, it wasn’t easy to make decisions. Although the accident was clearly not my fault, I was quickly hit with extremely large medical bills, and besieged by phone calls from multiple adjusters from both insurance companies (even my own adopted an adv...ersarial stance). Fortunately, a friend whom Mr. Samakow had previously represented referred me to him. He and his staff worked tirelessly on my case for nearly two years, and long after the settlement he is still willing to answer questions. In other words, he’s committed to his clients and in it for the long haul, deferring his own compensation until the case is closed, and still available long after he’s received his fee. For personal injury representation, I recommend Paul Samakow without hesitation.

Simply the best!

I was forced to hire an attorney after being T-boned by a driver as I was taking my daughter to school. Dealing with the other persons insurance company was a nightmare and after about a month of not getting anywhere with the other persons insurance I hired Mr. Samakow, he was recommended to me by a... co-worker. As soon as he got involved the insurance company started replying. I am so glad he was my attorney. I highly recommend him.

Insurance company wasn't treating me right

I felt that it was necessary after dealing with insurance company a little bit--they were not treating me right. I heard about Mr. Samakow from some friends, and when I met him he was truly sincere. They took my case and it was very easy to talk to him at any time and the overall service was excell...ent, specially from his assistant Sergio. Before they finished my case Mr. Samakow sent a letter giving me his opinion which I approved. The end result was great.

He got me justice

Mr. Samakow is a really good lawyer. i went to him because I wanted justice. The insurance company was not being fair. He did everything right and got my car fixed, and all of the medical bills paid for, plus extra money for me. I have already sent many people to him.

An Experienced and Trustworthy Advocate

I have worked with Mr. Samakow for over ten years. As a fellow lawyer, I see how hard he works to fight for his clients. Mr. Samakow understands the stress his clients are under and takes a tough, aggressive approach with the insurance companies to ensure his client's get the best and quickest result....

He has been devoted to the Hispanic community in the DC area for many years, and is a beloved figure for his community involvement, efforts, and visibility way beyond that of just "abogado." He has spent many years earning the trust in the Hispanic community by his successful representation of so many injured people, and he works hard to enhance and maintain this trust.
