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.

** 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!

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.
