A very responsible lawyer who always keeps his

My name is Andrey Zozulya. I'd like to share my experience with Samuel Basta. First, he helped me get out of prison quickly. After that, I wanted him to handle my divorce case. He's a very pleasant and outgoing person with a good sense of humor. He explained the entire procedure to me. Everything he ...said was exactly as he said. I'm very grateful to him for all the work he's done and for his patience. My friends recommended him as a lawyer, and I'm very grateful to them for their advice. I highly recommend Samuel Basta as a lawyer to anyone who has legal problems or is facing a divorce. And once again, I'm very grateful for his work and recommend him to everyone.

"Samuel is the best attorney in Northeast Ohio !!! "

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 !!! "

DO NOT HIRE!

If you're a woman looking for a divorce attorney, do NOT hire Samuel Wahib Basta. After speaking with Free Legal Aid of Cleveland AND then needing to hire an accountant, NEITHER can believe how much he screwed me over!
