Life saver

I used Mr. Samouris on 2 separate occasions roughly 14 years apart . On both occasions there were very serious felony charges against me . He was very committed to my cases . He was very communicative throughout the process an made me feel less stressful having him at my side . In both cases he de...livered above a beyond my expectations. Both cases felonies dropped to misdemeanor charges. I might add the second time I used him I was facing 3 felony charges of R an O. An pled to a drunk a disorderly .I was able to keep my job,family,freedom !!! I would recommend this man to anyone in need !!Absolutely an amazing lawyer!!

Pete comes off all nice and caring I just feel he put no effort into the case. What should of been a first offense DWI turned into a felony fleeing charge for driving a 1.3 miles and stopping at the end of my private drive right off the main rd. Late to court, didnt show on one occasion. Reviewed ou...r case with hus daughter and her friend (they are not attorneys) and actually shared their opinion. Not professional at all. Took advantage of a young niave family in a bad situation.

Hello, I am not immediately recognizing this fact pattern. In any event, I routinely get great results for my clients. Also, under no circumstance would I discuss any of my cases with anyone other than a colleague or an assistant, so I am completely at a loss for that reference. Plus, I would NEVER just not show up to court. Whatever the case, I have successfully handled life offenses (as in “not guilty verdicts”) and am quite confident that I would not shy away from a Feeing & Eluding charge. All of that said, if you still have my contact information please contact me. If not, here is my work e-mail and mobile number respectively: [email protected] and 517 410-4966. Hopefully I will hear from you so I can better address your concern. Take care and best wishes. — Pete

Honesty and Integrity

I found Samouris through google search. He was upfront stating he could handle the case but there were more qualified candidates that could help me. After meeting with him, I knew he was the best candidate. He made me feel as though his cases were not just case loads and his clients mattered. That is... when I knew he was the one. He was there when I needed, listened to, and took action on my input. Needless to say, I highly recommend Samouris if you want desirable results from an attorney that believes his clients matter.

Wow! Thank you Sam. Although I thanked you privately months ago, I failed to recognize that on AVVO I can respond to reviews. So that is what I am spending my time doing. So publicly, please allow me to repeat: Thank you and all the best, Sam.
