Worst representation as an attorney I've ever seen. Do not hire this clown!

He represented a very good friend and did absolutely nothing for him. Returned no phone calls, messages. Did not properly advise him on his choices. In fact, my friend was told to take a blind plea. What kind of attorney does that. He was sentenced to 9 years for a gun charge. He did not deserve this... . Sam Jonson did nothing at all for my friend. In fact it's the worst representation I've ever seen.

Very Unprofessional

Samuel Hinson was paid over $8,000 to represent a family member of mine in a very serious case. He ensured us that he would beat the case due to the fact that there was no evidence or proof against my family member. When he (Sam) arrived to the court date, he was over an hour late and he stated that ...he had never worked a case like the one we had before (which he never stated when we were getting ready to hire him). Since then, we can’t get him to answer or return ANY phone calls! We have been calling him for a month straight and he will not speak to any of us. He refused to stand up and speak for us in court and he never spoke to my family member (his client) before he left. If you are looking for good representation, do NOT hire Samuel Hinson. He can’t do anything for you that a public defender wouldn’t do. Save your money. You’d be better off representing yourself. We currently have an active lawsuit against him and he has been reported.

To whomever reads this review: Whoever this person is that left this review was never a client of mine. In my career thus far, I have never charged anyone "over $8,000.00" for a criminal case. Please disregard this review.

** Highly Recommended **

Sam went to work immediately on my case and gathered all the facts. He was so helpful during the process. Mr. Hinson works hard for providing the best legal counsel to his clients. Sam seeks to provide fair justice, from the court system, for anyone he represents and does so in a very respectful mann...er. I would highly recommend him for any legal counselling needs. Mr. Hinson strives for the best and wants nothing less for those he represents!

Sam Hinson was the best choice for us.

Sam listened to what we had to say, researched into what my husband was being accused of, and presented our case to the jury with passion and professionalism. He always kept us informed and educated on proceedings so that we were not taken by surprise and could be prepared and make educated decisions... on how to proceed. We are extremely pleased with the service we received from Sam.

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.
