This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Wrongful Death Suit

Mr. Samples and his team were always honest and courteous. The time put into my case was accumulative work for a three year spanse. Even though a jury did not find in our favor, it was not due to a lack of tenacity , or experience , from Mr. Samples and his team. Only small town politics.

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.
