We hired Sam after a phone and face to face conversation with him on the same day. Unlike other lawyers (I have talked to a couple on the phone prior to my consultations with Sam), he LISTENED. He asked for details and was incredibly patient when I was describing my OWI between sniffling and crying... (first time offense of any kind besides a speeding ticket). He was helpful and understanding. Plead my OWI to OWVI with only 6 mo. of probation instead of 1 year and only holiday alcohol testing in Oakland county. He preps you for the worst case (jail time, 1 year probation, daily drug and alcohol testing etc.), but with his guidance, I was able to preemptively work on my "mayhap" sentencing (alcoholic assessments, community service etc.) even before the pre-trial. He was incredibly accommodating. The OWI happened right before Christmas and it was financially difficult for us to pay immediately. He worked with us in paying his fee in chunks and with reasonable timing. I highly recommend Sam to anyone who needs a flexible, compassionate and outstandingly competent lawyer. The results speaks for itself - 6 mo. of probation for OWVI in Oakland County is rare and I can't thank him enough. :)

Sam Bennett was recommended to me by a friend that went through a DUI and was extremely satisfied with his legal representation. Following my friends recommendation, I decided to hire Sam as my attorney and it was the best decision I made. I was charged with OWI and Reckless driving on the 48th distr...ict court in West Bloomfield, which is notoriously known for being overly strict on drunk driving offenses. After meeting with Sam for the first time, I knew he was the right person for the job. Besides his great inside knowledge of the court systems, the prosecutors and the judges, the thing that appealed to me the most was the personal and individualized attention Sam brings to the table. You will not be just one more case. He is very accessible, guides you thorough every step of the way and, most importantly, DELIVERS RESULTS. I was able to plead down both charges to operating while visibly impaired and I did not suffer a hard suspension on my license. I will definitely recommend his legal representation to anyone! He helps you not just in the court, but also in how to approach your situation to employers. This just shows you that Sam truly cares about you as a client and is in this profession for all the right reasons. All in all, he is an excellent attorney!

Sam was my attorney for a restitution hearing (following a DUI involving an accident and damages), and he uncovered information that saved me a significant amount of money. He's easy to communicate with, answered all of my questions fully, and was able to ably cope with changing circumstances on the ...day of my hearing, utilizing good relationships in a way that allowed me to conclude my business quickly. Sam is personable and energetic, and I would recommend speaking with him and the people at Raymond Cassar's offices if you find yourself in need of great representation.

My son was arrested for a DUI and I never had any experience before where we needed a lawyer. A friend recommended Sam and I left a message on a Saturday at his office. He called me back right away and talked a long time on the phone. He patiently answered all my questions and made me feel so much be...tter. He worked with my son, gave excellent advice on what should be done before the arraignment and sentencing. He drove a two hour trip in terrible weather to the courthouse and was there on time. He was able to get some of the charges dropped. I emailed and called him frequently and he always took time for me. I never felt rushed. I highly recommend Sam Bennett.

Back in the fall I was facing an offense of operating a vehicle with a HI BAC(I did not my actual BAC since the reading was not written on my temp license at the time of my release from jail). Plus two tickets of no registration and disregarding a red light. I found Sam using the AVVO app and made a ...call.We spoke briefly over the phone and scheduled a meeting the next day.I left messages for 2 other attorneys referred by friends and never received a call back. During our meeting, Sam explained clearly what I should expect once he was able to obtain my BAC reading.I had such a great feeling about Sam so I decided to retain him the same day. Of course my BAC reading was high and Sam suggested I enroll in a 6 week lecture series learning about substance abuse. Throughout the ordeal I had to also attend AA twice a week.Sam also wrote a letter to the prosecutor on my behalf(great writer).This was my first offense so I was really nervous about the process, but Sam always returned my calls and emails promptly if I had any questions.He was able to get charge reduced to OWVI and my tickets thrown out. My license is restricted for 3 months,but I'm happy my license was not revoked totally with my .2...BAC. The judge sentenced me to a year of probation and weekly AA meetings.Plus my fine was low. Sam allowed me to make payments towards my balance with him before my sentencing date.This really helped me because I'm single with only one source of income. Sam is AWESOME...
