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...

A lifesaver!

After many years of incompetent attorneys and thousands of dollars, I found Sam! This man gets the job done! He's been there for me for the past several years, representing me on a child custody case and now a child support case. My case has always been everything but easy and he never gives up! Most... of all, he's here for all the right reasons and always has the child's best interest at heart! He has been by my side through all of my breakdowns over this case, all the times I felt like there was no hope and began to lose faith in the justice system all together and the times I just wanted to give up. He is proof that there are attorneys that are in this for the right reasons. I will always be so thankful for everything Sam has done for me, my child and my entire family... Not sure where we would be without 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.

An excellent lawyer

Sam English is an excellent and awesome attorney. He is very conservative with your retainer and has a top of the line staff (paralegals). He is also a down to earth ma that understands your situation. I highly recommend this man and his team. They are compassionate and knows how to get the ...job done In my case he did it through mediation and didn't push for a trial which would have cost me much more. Like I said before, he cares about his cliebnts and their money. God forbid I have to go tbrough this again, but if I did, Sam English would be the first person I would hire. No question. Thank you Sam, Kandice and Elaine.

A lot of empty promises

Hired for a custody case for my daughter -$2500. He didn't even show up for the trial. He sent an intern who apparently had no information about the case before going into the judge. She stood out in the lobby apologizing to me for what had happened with the outcome. She left his practice soon after.... He told me that he was going to meet with me to disclose some information concerning my daughters case, that didn't happen either. Quit returning my phone calls, but didn't hesitate to cash the $2500 check. Maybe it was a bad time in his life; don't know, but he left men without any credible representation. Would never recommend him to anyone. Glad at least some people had a good experience with him. Still waiting on that meeting Sam.....

Im sorry to hear about your experience with my law firm. I cannot determine the case by the narrative above or by "David.". I try my best to meet all my clients reasonable objectives in a case. However, some cases turn on the facts of the case. In years past, I had an associate attorney working with me but never a intern. The retainer fee you mentioned would place the case around 2010 or so. I would like to speak to you about your daughter's case but I need more information to identify the file. . I have never "no showed" a case unless it was a case specially assigned for the associate to handle. Please call me and lets have the meeting you are referring to above. I will pull the file and go over any unanswered questions. Im very sorry you feel like your daughters case was not given the attention it deserved. I will look forward to your call. Kindest regards.
