Money well Spent!!! (Florida Bar Applicant)

Poor decisions led to my Florida Bar investigative hearing. But the wise decision of hiring Samantha Johnson got me through it. Before hiring Samantha I was a nervous wreck. I was almost certain The Board was going to deny my application, and all the hard work I put in to passing the bar exam wou...ld be for naught. However after my first consultation with Samantha I felt like a huge weight had been lifted. She calmed me down, and walked me through the process. Going forward she spent countless hours preparing me for the Review Board's harsh interrogation. When the day of the hearing finally came I was ready for any question they had to throw at me. Everything they asked, Samantha had already asked me before in our review sessions. Even when they tried to throw me a curve ball, Samantha had me looking for it and ready to knock it out of the park. Because of her I walked out of that hearing feeling confident that all my hard work would soon pay off. A few weeks later Samantha called to tell me that Board recommended my admissions to the Florida Bar. She honestly seemed just as excited as I was, and legitimately happy for me. I am now an attorney, with a practice of my own thanks to Samantha Johnson.

Former Client (Florida Bar Applicant)

Samantha did an excellent job representing me in front of the Board of Bar Examiners. She was thorough, detailed, compassionate, and knowledgeable. After a contentious hearing, I was granted a license to practice law. She is an excellent attorney. I highly recommend her services.

I practice now, because I hired her then!

Quite frankly Samantha Johnson is the reason I received my bar card so quickly. I had considered simply attending a bar character and fitness hearing by myself, but I must say that hiring Samantha was the best decision I ever made. She worked above and beyond to make sure I was prepared. Her meth...od of preparation is key. As most would be, I was terrified at the thought of having a bar hearing, but by the time that date came, I was undoubtedly ready and confident. Result: Cleared within two weeks following my bar hearing with no further action to be taken. Please note that I certainly had more than just the average legal history so this was no easy feat. Now I am gainfully employed and enjoying every second of being an Attorney. Thank you Samantha, having you by my side throughout the process was well worth it.
