Hire him. He will help you.

Peter Samouris is an exceptional lawyer. He carries himself in a professional manner at all times and in my personal dealings with him, has made me feel that he cares deeply for the well being of not only me, but for my overall family as well. In my interactions with Peter, he has not only proven ...immensely knowledgeable about the law, but also taken both a professional and personal approach to the way he conducts himself and his practice. During poignant and sensitive conversations, he has the ability to reassure you and make you feel comfortable and confident about a positive future result. During my personal case, he was instrumental in ensuring that I was not only aware of what was happening next, but advocating me on what I could expect in next steps to come. For someone who works for a Fortune 100 company and values solid ethics, communication, integrity and follow through, I would highly recommend Peter to represent you. The ultimate result of my case at hand was a dismissal of the charges. I believe strongly that those results were achieved because I had Peter as my representation. I would strongly advise anyone that is in need of a lawyer to contact Peter and discuss your situation. He has a tremendous amount of experience and can be an asset for you if needed.

Professional and detailed.

Peter is an excellent attorney! He was dedicated to my case and got my charges reduced. He is very professional in the courtroom and detailed. He listened to my concerns and went above and beyond throughout my case. This was my first time needing an attorney and I am so glad to have him as my counslo...r. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking the best possible results! Thank you Peter!

Dear Sir or Madam — You know and I know that I never even ended up officially representing you. Thus, your “review” is completely unfair and unwarranted and I am going to try to get this “review” removed. Nonetheless, no hard feelings; glad I could serve as your punching bag. If you wish to discuss anything, please contact me and I promise that I will do my best to not sound like a 2-year-old or, as you put it, “an adoiot.” Best e-mail: [email protected] or my mobile at 517 410-4966. Thank you.

Would hire again

Starting with my first appointment I felt very comfortable and confident that I had made the right choice about Pete. He covered all options for both divorce methods (uncontested and contested). After the initial appointment I made my decision and looking back I would highly recommend the uncontested... option to others. The after care was fantastic and Pete made sure that I was completely aware of my rights and obligations towards my ex. If I was to ever go through it again I wouldn't look past Pete.

Thank you Deanna. BTW, I am no longer downtown, but in East Lansing: 1760 Abbey Road, Suite 200, East Lansing, MI 48823. All other contact information is the same, although I did add this more professional sounding e-mail: [email protected]. And in case you lost it, my mobile is (517) 410-4966. (Shoot, I can’t believe that 2014 was 9 years ago!) Thanks again Deanna.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
