Highly recommended!

Samantha has been our family’s attorney for many matters throughout the years. I could not honestly give a better recommendation for legal counsel! She has been practicing law for many years, and is an expert in her field. She is a wealth of knowledge, and any person that gains her as their attorney ...is lucky to have her.

The Best!

We love Samantha! She started out as our lawyer in 2015, and has become like our family. We’ve been through so much between custody cases and recently my husband’s business and we’ve won every single case! She’s honest, sincere, and will fight for you. She has the biggest heart and her clients mean t...he world to her. We are so grateful for all she’s done for our family, and recommend her to everyone.

Best Lawyer

Samantha is the absolute best!! I hired Samantha in 2015 for a child custody case in Jefferson county. At first I couldn’t really tell if she was going to be tough enough to meet my needs and take on my ex-wife, but boy was I wrong! She’s a tiger in a sweet lamb’s body. She’s so sweet but direct when... in comes to trial! We’ve been through 3 custody / child support cases and one recent case for my business and we’ve won them all! She’s an absolute do it all lawyer that will win if you listen to her! I’m not related to her but we’ve been through so much in the 10 years I’ve grown to love her like a sister! Don’t wait hire Samantha she’ll get the job done!

Excellent!

Excellent work by Mrs. Rush. She helped my family tremendously with our Child custody case. I highly recommend her and will use her firm again when/if needed in the future.

Excellent Attorney

Ms. Rush provided outstanding service as she represented me in divorce and custody proceedings. She is knowledgeable of both the law and precedents. She displayed professionalism at all times, and I felt completely confident in her ability to reach the best results for my family. Additionally, I felt... comfortable working with her. She was personable and established a rapport with my children and me. We were able to express our wants and concerns to her, knowing she would do her best to help us reach a fitting outcome. Ms. Rush is an excellent choice if you need an attorney.

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.
