Review Sam Masters

Professional, Personable and Easy to work with!

Posted by

We cannot say enough about Sam. While on vacation we were involved in an incident we could never imagine happening to our family and we called Sam for legal advise. The response time was in minutes, we met with him the next day. The entire process took about 6 month, but it was the exact result Sam promised and he followed up with us the entire time. We were extremely impressed when he followed up again after the Court case was closed. Professional, Personable, and great to work with. Patti was efficient and helpful as well.

Sam Masters represented me and worked EXTREMELY hard, meticulously combing through hours and hours of paperwork, etc. Sam Masters doesn’t miss a thing! He’s a swift professional in the courtroom and he’s been in the community for most of his life. His support staff is wonderful, and Sam is a genuinely nice man. He can be tougher than a junkyard dog in the courtroom, yet never loses his cool. Thank you, Sam! Sam Masters IS the master!
