Easy to work with and fast response

I needed advise and representation on lowering an alimony. He advised and did the write up. Alimony was lowered and he did a great job.

Divorce

Sam really made a difficult situation extremely easy. I made a call just to get basic information, and the next thing I know we had already finished the paperwork. I highly recommend his service.

Best Attorney in Etowah Co.

Earlier this year, I found myself in need of a divorce attorney when my ex petitioned to modify our final judgment. I no longer lived in Alabama and was unsure of where to turn for legal advice. After consulting with Mr. Sam Bone, it was clear that he had a deep understanding of law and how it applie...d to my particular situation. Many attorneys will promise the moon, without being able to deliver a star. Sam will be honest about your case, talk with you about the possibilities, and develop a plan to protect your best interests. Phone calls/emails are answered promptly and you are made aware of appointments and court actions. Even though my case was regular family law issues, it was treated as a priority. When emotions run high and people play dirty, you need an attorney that will keep you focused. It was nothing short of a blessing to have Sam’s counsel during this time. Sam will listen and use what will benefit your case most, helping you to make the best decisions. Through my experience, I learned that Sam is wise beyond his years and holds a unique combination of qualities that make him an excellent attorney. He is a younger lawyer in comparison to many of the veterans in the area, but his expertise speaks through shrewd discernment, both in and outside the courtroom. In retrospect, I know that employing a professional, well-versed attorney who gave honest legal advice was a valuable asset to me. My case only involved family law, but I would recommend Sam Bone in every area that he practices. My children and I are thankful for the Bone Law Firm.

Not only is Sam academically gifted...I can honestly say that this young man was born to be a lawyer. He is sharp, thorough and of the highest moral character.
