He’s a grifter, not a lawyer

Sam has “defended” me 2 separate times - if you can call it that. He’s going to charge you 3x anyone else and then go for plea deals. He’ll never look at evidence with you or actually fight at all - just backroom deals with the judges. If you’re not his highest paying client at the time, don’t expect... to even speak to him. His practice does NOT answer phone calls from the county jail (like seriously?). Overall an absolute sorry excuse for a lawyer. He’s a grifter if anything. Hire someone else.

Gets Results

Sam is definitely among the best lawyers in this country. He has represented me for multiple cases and has gotten favorable results every time. He is very straightforward, direct, and efficient. I definitely recommend him to anyone seeking representation.

Best Lawyer in Columbus

Sam is the BEST Lawyer in Columbus. He handled my case very smoothly and always answered phone calls and responded promptly. He beat my OVI case and beat the prosecutor. I would hire Sam for all criminal cases he's honestly the best at what he does
