After my dissolution and custody cases were finalized, I was still in the control of my abusive ex-husband. Hiring Samuel Patry was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Not only did he help me find my "voice;" as my attorney, he believed in my and my case. He fought for justice and made me ...

I recently moved to a new apartment that clearly needed the carpet replaced due to the unacceptable conditition it was left in by the previous tenants. The leasing agent was not responding as well as she should have to my concerns of the carpet needing to be replaced. I was fortunate to have Samuel...
"You would be hard-pressed to find a more knowledgeable lawyer in the area of custody and divorce. Detail-oriented and always prepared. Fights hard for his clients."
"I have worked with Sam on many cases, both as opposing counsel and to discuss various legal issues. I always find him to be knowledgeable and well-prepared. I value his opinions and would absolutely endorse him as a capable, qualified, and tenacious attorney."
"I have worked with many attorneys and I can say without hesitation that Sam is an amazing attorney. He never stops fighting for his clients and doesn't quit until he has achieved the best result possible."
"I recently concluded a divorce case with Sam, and the case had some unique facts and nuances. Sam worked hard for his client and navigated through the unique facts and nuances with ease. While we didn't go to trial in our case, I know he was ready, willing and able to try the case for his client if need be. Instead, we settled the case, and Sam was a good negotiator, too."
"Samuel Patry is by far one of the sharpest attorneys I have practiced against. He strives to always obtain the best result for his clients and maintains a strong sense of integrity during the process. Whether during discovery or at trial, Samuel is a fierce advocate who misses nothing."
"Sam's passion for achieving excellent results for his clients is clear in every conversation that I have with him. Due to Sam's commitment to his clients and his experience as a trial attorney, I endorse this lawyer."
"I have known Mr. Patry since law school. In law school, Mr. Patry demonstrated a high level of intellectualism and a love of the law. Post law school, he has been a strong advocate for his clients. Mr. Patry is involved with his community and cares about the improving his neighborhood."
"Mr. Samuel Patry's exhibits a professional demeanor with all those he interacts with while representing his clients' zealously. Mr. Patry's communication skill is just one other benefit that his clients and other attorneys enjoy."
"Sam is a hardworking and dedicated attorney. He is a great advocate for his clients and I highly endorse him."
"Sam is an excellent attorney who I dealt with when he was a prosecuting attorney. I can assure anyone considering hiring him that he has extensive knowledge of criminal/traffic matters. Further, he always seeks to represent his party in interest with zealous advocacy. Most importantly, his reputation in the legal community is excellent because of his high ethical standards. About five years ago I had a case with Sam when he was prosecuting and there was a defect in the state's records that were necessary to make a breath test admissible. Rather than attempt to hide the ball or gloss over the issue, Sam exemplified the ideals of a prosecutor and called it to my attention before I picked it up. I can assure you that not all prosecutors would do this as they seek only convictions & forget that justice for and candor to the public, everyone INCLUDING the accused, should guide their hand. That memory sticks out to me, hundreds of OVIs later. I trust and respect him, you can too."
"Sam is extraordinarily hard working, very intelligent, and extremely personable in every en devour he takes on. I believe the highest compliment one lawyer can give to another is referring clients their way, and I would not hesitate to refer cases to Sam. Therefore, I endorse this lawyer."
"A lot of attorneys think that the best place to learn Criminal Law is by having worked in a local prosecutor's office before an attorney goes out on their own to help people understand Criminal Law and the legal system and how to cope with it and defend themselves. They are right. That is just part of what gives attorney Patry his knowledge and experience in this area of law. He does business law and general practice too, and he has a lot of great info freely available on his web site. Bottom line is he knows the law and cares about making sure people get a fair shake and understand their rights. If his office is anywhere near you and you've got a legal problem, call hiim. He can be your answer. I recommend him to you."
