    Review Samuel Larrabee

    Amazing Attorney

    Posted by

    Mr. Sam Larrabee is incredible. I had a Worker's Compensation case for a Brain Injury and he was there for me through all the hardships, testing, and examinations to answer all of my legal questions. He also helped so much by encouraging me to keep pushing through the emotional and mental stress of the situation because I had an great case. Mr. Larrabee always responded quickly. He always helped me to understand what was going on and really took time so that I never felt rushed. Mr. Larrabee always soothed my fears about the insurance company and court case. He and his team literally did all the hard work for me and I barely had to lift a finger. Working with Mr. Larrabee was easy and wonderful! He was always very professional, helpful, kind and understanding, as was his staff!

    Awesome

    Sam really came through for me. Workman’s comp was denying my legitimate claim, so I reluctantly gave Sam a call. That was a great decision because Sam got on it right away and took care of everything! He communicated with me on everything he was doing and got the results I had been denied. The whole experience for me was 100% positive! I would highly, highly recommend others to to make that phone call like I did!

    I was looking for a lawyer to help me with a workman comp claim. I called Upper Michigan Law and found out Sam Larabee worked with this type of claim. So I hired him to help me.

    Principle Based

    Sam will do what is right for his clients based on principle. He does not seem profit driven which means he is a lawyer for all the right reasons.

    Workman’s Compensation Lawyer

    Posted by

    I got injured on the job 4/18/18. Immediately I was looking for someone to represent me. After calling many lawyer’s office’s, I got recommended to call Sam Larrabee. After my first consultation with him, I knew he was the right lawyer for the job. My workman’s comp case lasted around two and a half years. Sam was nothing but AMAZING. He was patient with me and explained everything step by step along the way. If I could recommend him to anyone that has a workman’s comp case, he’s the right man for the job.

    Samuel J. Larrabee Review

    Posted by

    I actually found Sam searching for an attorney on line. He took my case, and cared about what happened to me. Sam kept me centered during the discovery of my claim. Very easy to talk to and listens to you. I have recommended Sam several times to others and will always continue to do so.

    Consulted Sam bout my options. Not sure if anything would come of it. Hired him and stuck it out, even when i lost hope. He pulled a rabit out the hat and came through with more then i expected. He answered all my concerns and kept me informed throughout it all. If u have doubts about ur w/c case let Sam take u under his wing and he'll getcha through it. 2 thumbs up!!!

    I had the privilege of working with Sam during his time with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office in Chicago, IL. Sam is an outstanding attorney and a great person. Sam is a man of high integrity and earned a reputation as a fair and skilled prosecutor. Sam gained extensive trial practice in the State's Attorney's Office and has used that experience to excel in his new field. I give Sam my highest endorsement.
