Sam rocked my case

I wish charged with a felony gun case in Columbus Ohio. Sam and his team got it reduced to a misdemeanor and I received a time served sentence from the judge with an agreement to expunge my record in one year. I couldn't be happier. Don't hesitate to call them for any of your criminal problems.

Worth every penny

Hired Sam for an OVI case, not only did he get my charge down to driving with impaired alertness, but got my ALS terminated. His associate attorney Ashton was very helpful as well. An awesome attorney, would recommend to anybody.

Place your trust in him and you won't be disappointed

Sam wasn't always the easiest to get in touch with however he never failed to let me down. He appeared at every court hearing (and or notified the courts otherwise), and did exactly what he said he'd do for me regarding my charges. Even got my actual charges lessened and got a very low punishment for... my charges. Thankful to have had him in my corner and would highly recommend him to anyone in trouble. Very cut and dry lawyer which is exactly what you want and need when dealing with legal issues. Place your trust in him and let him do his work. He does well. Thanks again for all you did for me! Side note. His office personal were always helpful and kind.

Sorry excuse for an attorney

I hired Sam for a pretty intricate drug case which involved several 1st & 2nd degree felonies for which I was facing a lot of time and because I was told he was the best attorney hands down. Well first off, he charged twice the price of every other attorney I consulted and all he did was file a mot...ion for discovery (which is standard procedure anyway) and he sent an associate to 1 hearing. I don’t know if he just didn’t like me or what but he was arrogant, condescending & downright rude... until I bonded out of jail. After that, he was a little nicer, but he still gave me no hope by telling me we had no chance of beating the case and the only thing we could do was hope for the best plea offer from the prosecutor! I fired him when I found another attorney that saw my case as I saw it and wanted to argue the case @ trial which is still ongoing. In the meantime, I have already gotten a plea offer 3 times better than what Sam said he could get me which tells me I do stand a chance of beating the case @ trial. Of course, he only refunded a minuscule portion of significant fee he was paid and I was given a ridiculously overblown statement of his (lack of) services ($600 for 1 phone call !! Really??) so in my opinion Sam Shemansky is nothing but a crook. I wouldn’t recommend him to my worst enemy!

Wouldn't put my life in anybody else's hands

When faced with an o.v.i. I instantly called Sam explaining what had happened.Sam and his team realized instantly how I was wronged.Out of nowhere I got a letter to go get my license case dismissed.My girl,kids,and I could never thank him enough!! WANT THE BEST GET THE BEST

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.
