Not worth the money for quality of defense in misdomeanors.

Charges 2x to 3x what other lawyers charge for OVI case. Flat fee of $4,500 for OVI defense. He had no motivation for due process when he already had been paid. He showed up at first pre-trial with no documentation that I sent to him in my defense and what documentation he requested. He immediate...ly filed for a continuance without consulting me which gave up my right to Due Process and asked for me to send the documentation again. I do not believe he even discussed anything with the prosecutor. Did not return phone calls and never explained how he approaches the defense. Never spent any time with him discussing the case in person outside of pre-trials .. even then he never discussed the rather overt wrongful OVI citation or the evidence that proved my innocence, including a BAC of under .03 and misconduct by law enforcement officer. He kept me in the dark for 4 months. Completely missed a wrongful ALS suspension until pointed out by the judge at the final pretrial so my license was suspended for 4 months due to the lies of a police officer. Has a cavalier and cocky personality and was very disrespectful.

Best trial Attorney in Columbus

Sam handled the trial in my F2 possession case. It looked like a Perry Mason episode. I've never seen anyone so articulate and pursuasive in a court room except maybe in the movies. Im not sure he didnt look better than the movies. If your in trouble, you need Sam!

Sam is a high profile court room respected honored attorney if you need the defence these days he is in the A+ league

Sam is a high profile attorney. Respected by the legal system in Central Ohio. If you are in need of assistance he is the best. Lawyers are sorta like poker players. Some are good but very few are great. No question which one he is. Your freedom and rights are in someway being effected right now if y...ou are reading lawyers reviews. Don't second guess if you want the best. If like myself sometimes it is wise to be accompanied by your personal advocate such as a trusted family member or friend to get your full account to him because while in distress people cannot always remember every detail as that is the most important thing. If your wrong your wrong you know. But if your right you will be @lright in his presences. I am a Central Ohio Contractor with my own unique type of "Public Relation" skills. A faithful attorney. He is the real deal and focuses on your best interests as he took and honored his duty by the oath as all attorneys most do, but not all care like him. Just my honest oppion from my experience knowing Sam Shamansky.

One of the finest

Quite possibly one of the most intelligent people I've ever met. Sam is knowledgable, honest, and gets results. I would not hesitate to refer anyone seeking representation to Sam's office.

Hi quality representation at a fair price.

I have utilized Sam's services on more than 1 occasion, he is a true professional. He gets results, and he will assure you of that right away, and at a cost. There is however no cost too great for your freedom. Do not doubt this man when he tells you, I know what you want and this is what I do!

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.
