The Real Deal!

Sam is by far the best lawyer I have ever met. He is genuine and compassionate. He is truly a rare find in the profession. I highly recommend him. I was on probation in Oakland County (the strictest county in Michigan) for Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) and within a few months I was arrested fo...r Disorderly Intoxication. I had violated my probation previous to that arrest by lying to the judge about driving when I was not supposed to and I spent 5 days in the Oakland County Jail (Sam was NOT my lawyer at the time) because of some bad advice from a different lawyer. I was seriously looking at 90 days in jail for the probation violation and 30 days would have been a gift. Sam began giving me good advice on the phone before I had even hired him. He approached my case in a caring and compassionate way and he was much more helpful than every other lawyer I had talked to. He sincerely cared about helping me turn my life around and helping me with my sobriety from the beginning. At my probation violation hearing, because of how well Sam had prepared me and because of how well Sam represented my case, I did not get ANY jail time. I was ordered to continue with the group therapy program Sam had advised me to go into and to continue going to AA. That was it! No extension on my probation! Nothing else! I could not believe it! The result of the hearing has helped me to maintain my sobriety and helped me to begin to turn my life around for the better.

Highly recommended DUI attorney

Back in August of 2015 I was involved in an accident while under the influence of alcohol and had to face a super drunk charge as a result of that nights events. Being a hard working member of the community and an engineer it was a horrible reality and experience to go throught. Having Sam Bennett t...o represent me in court and as my advisor during the whole legal process in court certainly made everything better. Ever since I first met Sam he really demonstrated he had vast knowledge of the law and was really organized and prepared to work on the best outcome possible regarding my case. He guided me throught the whole process and helped me be prepared for all my court dates with anticipation. In addition to this Sam is a really great person and really took interest in making sure I was ok personally and making sure I was doing the right thing to get the best outcome possible. In the end I think I came out with a positive outcome of the situation and in a way that I was able to keep my life and keep my job as an engineer. From my own experience I would recommend Sam for anyone who has a DUI related case.

He exceeded my expectations!

Sam defended me in what was my very first experience personally with our legal system. His advice was compassionate and sensible. I followed Sam's instructions and was able to pass through my OWI ordeal with the court with what seemed to me to be very reasonable and minimal penalty! I would hearti...ly recommend Sam if you ever find yourself in trouble with law.

It was like being helped by family

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Samuel and not just the handling of my case, which was outstanding by the way, but how he was truly concerned for my well-being and encouraged me to continue my treatment courses. I'll always hold a gratitude of debt to Samuel and would encourage anyone in n...eed of a great DUI/OWI lawyer to seek him out immediately.
