No Finer Advocate

Mr. Shamansky was hired in March 2012 to handle my DUI case. During, he was challenged with many obstacles, yet he perservered and was able to negotiate a plea to a lesser offense. My case wasn't your typical DUI case as it also included a criminal charge of fleeing. That charge was dismissed base...d purely on Mr. Shamansky's skill and dedication to his client. That skill and dedication included getting another driving violation charge stemming from the 2012 case in 2013 being dismissed. And, finally this year, he yet again managed to successfully advocate for me with an expungement of the 2012 criminal charge. Mr. Shamansky is a true advocate for his clients. He will not allow anything to get in the way of doing his best by you.

The best of the best

I hired Sam to represent me in my case, and this guy is phenominal. He listens to everything you have to say, and is very detailed in your case. He is highly respected by each and every judge and prosecutor in Columbus. When he walks in the court room, he is greeted by everyone there. His reputation ...is 2nd to none, and I feel he is by far the best attorney in columbus Ohio. He handled my 2nd dui case and it was reduced to wreckless op. Sam is truly an amazing lawyer, and a wonderful person. Thank you again Sam, and I will continue to send anyone and everyone I know to you if they need a lawyer.

Incredible attorney with proven results!

Sam handled a case for my son (2nd case) this week. He is probably the most knowledgeable attorney I have ever met. He knows the rules, and knows how to use the rules to your advantage. Both times we have used Sam, he has "saved" us from what could have been a very severe outcome. He is honest, f...orthright, and someone you can count on to get a good result. I would highly recommend him.......best in town and highly respected in the court system.

Best Lawyer Ever

Sam is an excellent attorney. I had a lot of confidence that he would do his best and resolve my case in which he did. No matter how big or small the case may be Sam is an attorney you can trust and depend on. He is the best at what he does. Thank you Sam Shamansky. Marilyn V.S

Integrity, Diligence, Communication

I screwed up and Sam helped me resolve my case in Franklin County the best possible way. While he is not cheap, you most definitely get what you pay for with this man and his extremely helpful/kind staff. Every penny is worth it. Part of what makes Sam great is that he takes a no BS approach with yo...u as a defendant, and with the courts. He clearly communicated my options to me and gave his opinion, which I accepted and went with. His presence in the courtroom is second to none, he is organized, and his credibility, well, that's what makes him so exceptional and respected by the law community in central Ohio. After discussing my case in a consultation, he took time out of his busy day to inspire me to do better and get my life back on track. If you're fortunate enough to get Sam to accept your case, be extremely thankful... he's one of the best, if not THE best.

  • 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.
