Review

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!

  • 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.
