Samuel Barton Tooker's Lawyer Endorsements
"Sam Tooker and I worked together in the Solicitors Office for several years. He has a strong work ethic, is intelligent, and has a deep understanding of our criminal justice system. I'd strongly recommend bringing Sam onto your case and have him fighting for your rights."
"Sam and I were college roommates. We recently happen to represent a client in common on an extradition from NC to SC for drug charges. I handled the extradition process while Sam expertly handled the substantive drug charges. He was able to get the charges completely dismissed in a very short amount of time. I'm happy to endorse Sam both personally and professionally."
"I met Sam when he was a prosecutor in Pickens County. It was immediately apparent that he was very talented, hard working and fair. He has taken that experience and truly become a complete criminal defense lawyer. Sam gets unbelievable results for his clients. I highly recommend him."
"Sam and I worked together at the solicitor's office. He has tons of trial experience and is an aggressive advocate for his clients. He is extremely intelligent and hardworking."
