Wonderful experience!!

Mr. samms helped my husband and I through my adjustment of status. From the beginning of my journey he asked very essential questions to determine the difficulty we would have to adjust my status. He was very responsive and communicative. He answered all our questions and concerns in a timely matter.... He was also very friendly and made us both feel comfortable and at ease throughout the process. There’s wasn’t even a second where we doubted his abilities as a lawyer. He assembled all our documents in such a great way that we weren’t require to provide additional documents at our interview. I would definitely recommend his service. Thank you again Mr. Samms.

Settlement and Release

Mr. Richard Samms listened to my problem regarding a Settlement that I was really stressing about. He handled my request for direction and paperwork to solve the problem because I did not know what to do. He worked with me with good effective communications to craft the language needed to end this ...situation. He has also made himself available for any follow-up that is needed. He makes me feel like he is really on my side, I appreciate him.

Personal injury

Richard Samms law not only heard me when I needed help, but also handled my case efficiently and kept me stress free! I was trying to juggle working and healing while being bombarded by the insurance company. Then I reached out to Richard Samms Law and I could actually start focusing on healing! Than...k you for helping me when I couldn't help myself! I'm back to being me again because of Richard Samms and his team!
