Scammed by Sam Thomas 111

I hired Sam Thomas 111 on 21 May 2025 to provide me with for documentation. A Living Will, Power of Attorney for Healthcare, Transfer on Death from my Country and Power of Attorney for Business. I paid him $1000 for this service. I got the first two documents but now he doesn't answer my phone calls ...or text messages. I called my county administrator this morning and they said there is nothing on file hope my house. This lawyer is a scam and everyone should steer clear of him. I will be filing a grievance with the state against him.

Go somewhere else

I had seen a few commercials on tv for Sam Thomas III. He seemed professional and came across relatively so when we first met. He specializes in bankruptcy filings. I hired Mr Thomas for a family matter ( child support) and I completely wasted $1800.00. He did not return any of my calls, and neve...r filed any of the proper paperwork. After two years of chasing for answers, I contacted child support myself. They informed me to come down and fill out paper work. They informed me that he did nothing for me and that I should contact the BAR association which I did.

Experience

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2019.

Suspended For Term, Placed On Probation issued in OH, 2019

updated on 05/15/2019

This status means that an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a specific period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires. During the probation period, the State monitors the attorney's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Suspension Stayed issued in OH, 2010

updated on 11/24/2011

Suspension stayed means the attorney has been suspended, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements.
