Simply didn’t care

My experience was poor. In the beginning, Mr Coffey made it seem we had the best case & he would put his all into it. Alex (his paralegal) did little & was very unconcerned & unreachable. After more than a year, I had finally found out Coffey had dropped my case without telling me. I found out by con...tinuing to call the office months after. I was able to reach a sizeable amount by obtaining a new lawyer who kept me informed with each step. Coffey is the attorney I would always advise against using.

Great Lawyer

I would recommend the Coffey Trial Law team to anyone that is in need of a dedicated, hardworking and meticulous personal injury attorney. The team is always there to help and can answer any questions you may have.

Attorney Sam Coffey

I can’t say enough good things about Attorney Sam Coffey. He’s experienced, smart, hardworking, honest, tenacious and a nice guy. As a former personal injury paralegal, I chose Sam to represent me, after being injured in an auto accident, because I knew he would pull through and get the best result. ...He’s an exceptional attorney with a great team. 5 stars.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Years ago when Sam was doing defense work he was opposing me on a case. He was always well prepared and made my job difficult. Since that time he has left defense work and started representing injured plaintiffs. I for one am glad that Sam is on the good side of the law and helping those who need his abilities the most. He is an outstanding lawyer and as asset to the legal community."

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.
