Samuel Wahib Basta

I had a super dui along with multiple other charges and it was dropped down to a failure to control.. Got a drug charge off me.. Meanwhile Samuel also got me personal driving privileges during my case.. He is a wonderful attorney, very attentive, he would respond to all texts and calls, even some tha...t were very late in the day. I had bad anxiety through this whole case and he put my mind to ease.. I'd recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Sam, you're awesome!

During an 8-year divorce (yes, eight years), Sam took several "retainer fees" which amounted to NO ACTION, and never deducted payments, for doing NOTHING, previously paid. Additionally, My husband's attorney sent paperwork to Sam for me to sign back in 2012, When I met Sam at the coffee-shop belo...w his office (I'm disables and can't make steps), he looked through an envelope of papers I needed to sign, and said, "I'm going to save this one until I get paid". A few years later, close to bankruptcy because of what SAM BASTA made me agree to (I even knew it wasn't true, but he said is didn't matter), I needed Legal Aid Services to stop some of the hemorrhaging for me making $18k/year verses my "ex" making $100+/year. When legal aid reviewed my papers, I heard, "It's hard to sue an attorney, but this would be a 'Prime' example of an attorney who should get sued!" DON'T CONSIDER HIRING SAM WAHIB BASTA AS YOUR ATTORNEY!

I had what most people would label, as the ex wife from hell. She was constantly taking me back to court, lying and using the system for her needs. Well, when her child support finally ran out, she sued me for 35,000.00 , for misc bills, mostly that were already paid, but being that most of them were... over 5 yrs old, who saves receipts? Well, attorney Basta bombarded her w/discovery, over 200 interogatories, endless motions, and after almost 3 yrs, it finally went in front of the judge. My ex agreed to a couple thousand dollar settlement and signed an agreement that she could never, ever take me back to court again. I wonder how much money she spent in attorney fees. Oh well, it's not my problem. Sam did a great job, has a wide knowledge of case law.

I have known Samuel for about twelve years, from my first appointment I had complete trust and confidence as he came highly recommended from a good friend who hired him as her divorce attorney .... Mr.Basta has 'well' represented me for several cases and has guided me painlessly through the ent...ire process. My professional experience with Mr. Basta has always been very positive. He is also always there to respond to tough questions I pose, whether they be procedural or substantive questions of law. I am always confident with the advice he gives and would never hesitate sending a good friend or family member his way. I feel Samuel Basta is an outstanding lawyer who is always dedicated to obtaining the best possible result for his clients. With confidence I can say "Samuel is the best attorney in Northeast Ohio !!! "
