The best, most personable attorney ever!
Where do we begin? I researched attorneys for months only to be recommended to Marcus (also known as Sam) McGee. There were never any promises and we had been told in the past by other attorneys that they would review our case so we knew there was a chance they may not take the case on, therefore w...

Simply the best
Mr. Mcgee and his partner, Gary Jackson, handled our trial in US Federal Court in 2011.

Marcus Samuel McGee's Lawyer Endorsements
"Sam was my supervising attorney and mentor all throughout law school. I’ve seen him captivate juries, and persuade judges to rule in his favor where most courts are divided. He cuts to the core and quickly learns who his clients are so he can understand their struggles and tell their stories the way they should be told. Sam is a master of trials and appeals, and I’m glad I get to learn from him."

I happily refer any and all civil matters throughout all of North Carolina to him. I trust Sam. So should you."

"Sam makes me want to live in North Carolina to learn manners, not an easy thing to say for a native Texan. He is the quintessential Southern Gentleman, who walks softly and carries a big stick. The big stick he carries is the depth of caring he has for his clients. I met Sam at the Trial Lawyers College where he learned to take his caring and skills to a level that only he can match. I would trust him with my life and in a certain sense i have. If you are in North Carolina and need a lawyer he is the only Counsel you will need."

If you or a loved one has been injured you need to speak with Mr. Mcgee."
"Sam McGee is the true to life epitome of the gentleman lawyer. Sam not only has a brilliant legal mind but also has such an impressive intuitive know how when it comes to getting results for his clients. When you couple these skills with the fact that Sam genuinely cares about each individual client that he represents, I would submit that there is no better attorney to be found in North Carolina.

He has the integrity, work ethic and character that clients should look for when seeking their champion."

He represents his clients with every ounce of his heart and soul and is one of the few attorneys out there who genuinely cares for his clients. I would not hesitate to refer anyone needing help to Sam."
"Sam McGee is a brilliant trial attorney. I personally worked with Sam on developing trial tactics against a large bank that wrongfully broke its contract with Sam's client. Sam is extremely insightful and connects with jurors better than almost any attorney I know. Sam also cares deeply for his clients and to see justice done. I highly recommend Sam for any personal injury or litigation matter."
"Sam is truly one of a kind. He is brilliant, yet able to simplify even the most complex issues into easily understandable and persuasive arguments. He is aggressive and relentless, yet has an uncanny ability to relate with people. As an attorney, he is the complete package. He is the guy you want in your corner during negotiations, pre-trial motions and, certainly, in front of a jury. I emphatically endorse Sam."
"Sam is one of the most intelligent attorneys I have ever met. He has an uncanny ability to reduce complex, complicated issues into a simple narrative story while preserving the factual detail that today's litigation climate demands. I think the world of Sam, give him my highest recommendation, and would use him personally if I ever needed a lawyer in North Carolina."
"Sam is one of the best trial attorneys in North Carolina. He is one of about a thousand lawyers nationwide to have graduated from Trial Lawyers College. He focuses his career on helping people with Personal injury, nursing home and medical malpractice claims. Recently he received a 5 million dollar verdict for one of his clients. Sam is an amazingly gifted negotiator and litigator."
"Sam is extraordinarlly talented. He is willing to go the extra mile for his clients and achieve results that others cannot. I recommend him to anyone in need of his services in North Carolina."
