This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Dissolution/Custody

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 ...believe my case was personal for him. The time and devotion he put into my case went above all expectations I could have expected. For the first time in my life, I had someone willing to fight for me and make me stand up for myself with him by me all the way. I have had several cases that we have worked together on, and every time I walked away the clear winner. As we prepare for another case, I have my full trust and confidence in Mr. Patry.

Worth the representation

I called Samuel to help me when I was facing some legal issues. He was extremely knowledgeable in my situation, helped guide me through the entire process and more importantly, he was able to help me understand and translate from the legal terms into what it really meant for me. I have and always ...will recommend Samuel to any of my friends, family and clients of my own.

real estate purchase

Sam was a huge help not only by writing our contract to purchase, but in giving advice along the way as issues came up. He absolutely had our best interests in mind the entire time.

Apartment Matter

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... represent me in this matter and he did an incredible job in doing so. As soon as Samuel got involved, my carpet got replaced. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to represent me. I was impressed with how he handled my matter and how quickly he got it resolved for me. I highly recommend Samuel to anyone looking for a lawyer to represent them.

"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."

Unknown lawyer | Jul 02

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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."

Criminal defense lawyer | Jun 22

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
