An Outstanding Diligent & Dependable Attorney

When our son got in trouble we turned to Sam Shamansky. We had never been in a situation like this before and had no idea the ramifications that could result from our son’s actions or how it would affect his future. We were thankful that we knew Sam and hired him to represent our son. Sam explain...ed the whole process to us and what to expect. He is a professional and knowledgeable attorney. It was comforting knowing that he was handling things and helped calm our anxieties. Each time we called Sam’s office with a question or concern he always responded in a timely manner. At the end of it all we reached a better than expected resolution. We are very grateful to Sam for his excellent legal representation, and highly recommend him.

don't waste your money. public defender does better

Hired Sam to represent my son who had never been in trouble. My son sentenced to 4 years in prison and his co-defendants (2) used public defenders and walked away with probation. Both had previous records. Rude and very unprofessional. Good luck to anyone that uses him.

SAMUEL SHAMANSKY DESTROYED MY LIFE!!!

SAMUEL SHAMANSKY DESTROYED MY LIFE! He is too arrogant and noone believed me because of him...even though my entire case was thrown out of proprotion! He seemed like a reliable and quit-witted lawyer until we took the stand and even the judge had to tell him to stop talking. I am trying not t...o be hostile or insulting, but I cannot believe this guy had 5 star reviews. Obviously written by himself! HORRIBLE!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!

Courthouse God - The Best in Columbus

I will never enter a courtroom again without Sam Shamansky by my side. The guy is unreal. Walking into a courtroom with him is like walking into an arena with Michael Jordan. He is the man and everyone knows it. He gets respect from judges, prosecutors, police officers - everyone. He is a household n...ame. When he starts to speak, it's like you're watching a TV show. Seriously, he's that good. Certainly not cheap, but he's worth every penny. He had my case dismissed and got me out of jail quickly after multiple probation violations. I would have been locked up a long time without him. If you're in trouble, get the money together and hire Sam. You will not regret it.

Aggressive & Intelligent Lawyer! Miracle Worker! Professional!

I hired Mr. Shamansky to handle a drug possession case and a judicial release. I had previously gone to trial with a different attorney and was sent to prison for three years. Once I hired Shamansky, he did not stop until he got me out. I would recommend to anyone who is in trouble with the law to hi...re this attorney. His rates are well worth the results. Thanks 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.
