Dr.

Mr. Samouris is absolutely an amazing and deeply caring attorney. He paid attention to every detail of the case and proactively communicated with clients and attorneys from the other side. His masterful legal skill and working ethics present a great example of how a good lawyer can achieve a desirabl...e result. In my case, he presented a convincing case to the prosecutor and the court and generated a satisfactory result to all the parties involved. I will definitely recommend him as a top lawyer to anyone in need.

Thank you Daniel, so great working with you. To be sure, I will give you a call and send you a text occasionally, and please feel free to do the same. I truly like staying in touch, in a day & age when it is so easy to immediately communicate, yet, for whatever reason, so difficult to remain in contact. P.S. The beautiful calligraphy scroll that you sent me is FINALLY going to be on my wall — or so I am told.

He will analyze your situation to get you the best outcome. Peter is not afraid to stand his ground for you! He is well versed, planned and ready for any situation in the court room. He navigated my situation from start to finish receiving a NOT GUILTY verdict! On all felony counts.

Samouris Law Review

Only a couple of weeks ago I was forced due to unforeseen circumstance to seek advice from a defense lawyer. This was an absolutely horrific time for me and that's putting it mildly. I shot off emails to several Lansing firms and the first to respond was Mr. Samouris. I thought his attitude was great... from the beginning, and it didn't change the whole way through which kept me confident. The staff he works with were very professional, respectful and empathetic to my circumstances.

Thank you Brian. Gosh, I can not believe it has been that long since I helped you with that matter. As I just told another client, I am no longer downtown but in East Lansing, specifically, 1760 Abbey Road, Suite 200, East Lansing, MI 48823. Best e-address: [email protected]; best number: 517 410-4966. Thank you again, Brian.

Posted by Adam | February 19, 2014 | Criminal Defense

Competent.

I was charged with both a felony and a misdemeanor. One was a type of assault and the other was some kind of "disabling a 911 call" charge. I don't really remember and it doesn't matter because Mr. Samouris eventually got both dismissed.
