No help whatsoever

Never returned calls, no fight, rude, and ended up with the worst possible outcome.

So glad I hired him...

I hired Sam the day after being pulled over for suspected OVI, and he got my license back within days. The arrest video was pretty damning, but he managed to make a deal that was better than I had hoped would be possible. It was downgraded to a reckless opp, and while that also comes with a year susp...ension, the suspension was retroactively applied to the arrest date, leaving me with less than four months to go. There were generous driving privileges granted as well. He also saved me an additional $500 reinstatement fee by having the suspension under the court and not the BMV. You can find plenty of attorneys that cost less, but not better at getting you the best possible outcome...I would go with Sam every time.

Worked Hard for OVI

Sam is the best in the business! He worked so hard and never gave up to get my OVI charges dropped down and for me to keep my license. I will always recommend him as the best defense attorney in the area!

Whipped a murder case at trial

My cousin was charged with murder. The case went to trial within 90 days and Sam tore apart every single witness and obtained an acquittal after a jury trial. His ability in the courtroom was astounding. It was incredible how he handled the coroner and turned her into his witness. Couldn't have been... happier and the not guilty jury verdict speaks for itself.

Saved my Life

I was twice wrongly accused of violating a civil protection order. Mr. Shamansky intervened and had both warrants withdrawn. He and his staff did an outstanding job of investigating the case and obtaining important evidence which resulted in both charges being dismissed. I never spent a day in jail a...nd now have my record cleared. An outstanding job by incredible lawyer devoted to protecting my rights.

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.
