Very pleased!

Sam helped me get out of a DUI last year. I talked with a couple different attorneys in the area before making my decision. While Sam was one of the more expensive it was money well spent. His assistant Amanda was a pleasure to work with (considering the circumstances) was very knowledgeable and hel...pful. I will refer everyone to Sam B!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
