We were lucky enough to have him clerk for us while he was in law school, and now he is fighting capital trials. He has a deft touch with his clients, confident advocacy in the court room, and a firm command of the law. These are not empty words, cases our Firm has worked with Sam have consistently had outstanding results. As a fellow criminal defense attorney, there are very few that I endorse as strongly as Samuel Bennett."

"Sam is a an excellent criminal defense attorney and has handled high-profile and sensitive cases. He is trustworthy, experienced, and delivers solid results for his clients. I strongly endorse my colleague."

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Bennett is a zealous advocate for his clients and is willing to go the extra mile to insure the best possible result."
"I have worked with many attorneys in my career, but Samuel stands about above the rest. He is a hard working driven attorney that knows his cases inside and out. When you combine that with his infectious personality, you get an unbeatable combination."
"I endorse Sam Bennett. I was fortunate to have Sam as an intern for my law firm for several years. He proved himself as an asset to our firm where we worked together on several complex legal matters. He has also assisted our firm after becoming a lawyer and I can say that he is an excellent lawyer. He has guts, brains, integrity and will give 110% to his clients and their cause."
