Amazing lawyer

She handled my case so fast that I could hardly believe it. Very prompt and excellent communication with her clients - thanks so much!

Handled everything perfectly

Fantastic job of communicating and helping me and my wife understand the process. Someone lied and filed a false restraining order against me and my wife to avoid paying us back app the money we lent her and Judith shut it down and got everything resolved before the hearing. Got both dropped before the hearing.

Perfect!

I was very scared and didnt know what to do going into the court system, as I have never been in trouble before. Judith was very reassuring and answered every question I came up with. She made court a breeze and we had a great outcome in the case. I'm very happy to have had her as my lawyer. She is kind, understanding and very intelligent. All in all a great person to have representing you.

Best lawyer I have ever met

Judith has represented me in a very difficult case and with her hard work, experience and dedication, she was able to get me the best result possible. She is the first lawyer I have ever met where money and fees are not her primary focus. She kept in contact with me even when she was overseas on vacation. I will always be grateful to her.

Great attorney!

Judy went above and beyond to help me in my case. Great communication always responsive to getting back to me when I needed to I did great legal representation. I couldn't have been happier.

I’m glad I chose Judith

I was a little skeptical when Judith said she could get me a favorable outcome for my first time theft charge for less money and in less time than the other lawyers I was in contact with but boy was I glad I went with her. Judith was upfront and called out the bull the other lawyers were pitching to get more money from me. This was probably partly due to COVID but everything was done over phone or text but that made it pretty convenient for me to continue with my normal everyday life. She explained things clearly, settled my case outside of the courts, and did so within 30 days of first contacting her. I was able to make a deal and pay a minimal fine to get my charge dropped. I am so glad I chose Judith to represent me otherwise I’d still be worrying about this case/charge affecting my life and possibly going onto my record. Thank you Judith.

Very satisfied

Judy was excellent. I was caught off guard with a case and had a million questions when I needed a lawyer asap and she was patient and answered all of them and put me at ease. She met with me the very next day (on a Saturday even). Her knowledge, expertise and confidence showed as she had it under her control the minute I hired Judy. No making appointments to ask her a question. She was always ready to help. Highly recommended..

Great Lawyer

Did her best considering what she was given. This was my third dwi/dui in ten years and she saved me from jail time and a few other things.

Posted by Matt | March 31, 2021

Timely responses

I really appreciated how Judith answered all my questions thoroughly, but what was really special was how timely she got back to me.

Maintained my clean record because of Judy!

Judy is one of a kind. She knows what she does and you can tell she's experienced and knowledgeable the moment you speak to her. I was worried that two misdeamnors would go on my clean record, I'd pay a high fine and end up serving some time in jail for a mistake I made when I was a minor. She assured me that that will not happen and made the whole process easy for someone as worried as me. I had a Public Attorney before and they didn't weren't help at all in helping me achieve the goals I've set for my situation. Judy was able to assess and handle my case in a timely manner when we were on a time crunch to appear for jury trial. Her fees are affordable and there was no hidden costs whatsoever. I'm glad I made the right choice in picking her. I would recommend Judy to anyone!

First offense EVER withheld from record!

I am a single mother who works full time and recently received my bachelor's degree, i like to think i have things going for myself! I am a Law Abiding citizen and hope to work in a public service career, however, after the loss of a close loved one and a depression that overcame me, i found myself gambling more than usual and resorted to stealing one night after i had lost all my money. Reality hit HARD as i was faced with criminal charges! I have never gotten in trouble, as a matter of fact i have numerous police friends, I was extremely embarassed (i still am)! I searched for attorneys online and came across Judith Samson. I emailed her the same exact night my incident occurred. The next day i did not only receive a response email, but also a phone call. She was willing to help me work through my first ever offense. She was very quick with her responses to the numerous questions i had on email and text. She worked with me on my payment towards her service. And ultimately, i still have a clean record as long as i follow stipulations and paid a fine, which i gladly accepted as an alternative! I would definately recommend Judith Sampson, her and her assistant were wonderful to work with, and considering the circumstances, the outcome was to my satisfaction!

Above and Beyond

Judith Samson is not only an amazing lawyer but also a great person. She went above and beyond to help me through my situation. I took a chance when I found her through a lawyer website and I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. She was available for me 24 hours, for whatever I needed. She is kind but tough. She will fight for you to get you the best outcome she can. I would and will suggest her first to anyone that needs a lawyer. She couldn’t have made the experience any better. Very Happy client

Scared of jail? Call Mrs. Samson

Mrs. Samson was just an amazing lawyer. My case was about "violation on an order for protection". I was scared about it and as soon as I talked to Mrs. Samson I felt relieved. She was very polite and professional. She talked to me straight to the point about the possible outcomes and I was confident with that. She knew what she was doing and got the job done. Her fees were affordable to me and there was no extra or hidden fees after so. She always answered all my questions with patience and straight to the point, very ethical lawyer and smart. I 300% recommend Mrs. Samson for your case. God bless her!
