Best Attorney Ever

I would not say this easily nor would I give such an endorsement had I not experienced it first-hand. Mr. English is not just a staunch defender and advocate of his clients, he listens and empathizes with them, and has the legal knowledge and experience to make an intelligent plan and strategy. He is... looking to win, but he also understands the best-interests of all involved and especially takes what is in the best interests of the children into account. I have known Sam since 2003. I know most divorces are difficult and can be messy, especially with kids involved, but my case turned out to be particularly unusual and complicated. With Sam as my counsel, I felt I had an advocate and also a shoulder to lean on in some very dark times. He didn't always tell me what I wanted to hear, but he always told me what I needed to hear and was honest and never misled me over what turned out to be over a 12 year journey. He is passionate about standing up for the rights of his clients. He will go toe-to-toe with the best of them and be your voice in the emotional and intimidating legal world of the Courts and Attorneys. He is also not afraid to tackle those less popular cases, such as mine, where I was the Father facing the bias of the maternal versus paternal roles. He brought logic and civility back to a very, at times, seemingly never-ending irrational process. Thank you, Sam. I know you gave a piece of yourself through all of this. For those considering hiring him, you will not be disappointed if you choose Sam and he will restore your faith in the legal process. Ultimately, justice will be served with this charismatic, experienced and knowledgeable Attorney. I can't say enough good things about him...

Great Attorney

I was in a bad divorce with custody problems. Mr. English helped take the worry and burden off my shoulders. He and his staff were excellent to respond to any concerns or issues. He is a very good attorney with extensive experience and knowledge. He help guide my mediation to a win-win situation . Wi...thout Sam, I would still be fighting for my son who I know have fulltime. My ex-wife had an aggressive attorney and Sam shut him down very quickly in a very professional manner. I would not use anyone else other than Sam. I would recommend him to anyone.

SImply THE Best Knox County Family Law Group!!!

For anyone who is searching for answers on finding the best Family Law Firm in Knox County then the answer is this simple: English Law Firm. Please don't make the same mistake I did and think you can either get a divorce with children on you own, or without a firm that PRIMARILY specializes in KNOX ...COUNTY family law. The English Law firm was heavily recommended to me when I was at my wits end by one of the county's best children therapists- post divorce. I had spoken to a few other attorney's in the area and they told me there was nothing I could do about my situation. I spoke to Vanessa and Sam and they immediately took action when I thought all hope was lost. They are both fearless and most importantly know how 4th Circuit Court operates. They continue to exceed my expectations and I will forever be Greatful for this amazing firm.

Highly recommend Sam English & staff

Sam English and his staff were truly wonderful to me. Sam came highly recommended. After 29 years of marriage I was devastated and emotionally drained. On our first meeting, I felt so comfortable with him and I felt that he & his staff were very professional & they took care of me through the who...le painful process. Sam is a very knowledgable and tough attorney. After one mediation my case was settled and I was extremely pleased with the outcome. I am so thankful that I retained the English Law firm. Sam & his staff were outstanding and I recommend him highly.

Exceptional!!

We hired Sam in a child support case, he over exceeded our expectations. He knows the laws from every aspect and it shows in the courtroom. He is very honest upfront and extremely personable. I have refered him to several other people and they have had the same outcome.
