Experienced, Confident, Go-Getter

What a fantastic Attorney. We thought we had a very complicated situation. Judith advised us on what to do and broke it down simply. She was straight forward, professional and made us feel comfortable very quickly. The outcome on our case was a relief. Judith has a high success rate and I would high...ly highly recommend her to anyone in need of her services. Thank You so much!!

Super job and great to work with

Judy set realistic expectations about the possible outcome of our case that helped put us at ease. She then came through with a very satisfactory result at our court appearance. Very friendly and easy to work with.

One amazing women/lawyer

I was in a disheartening situation. Accused falsely by someone of harrasment. Judy not only made me feel confident she could help me, but she did. Picture any scene in law and order of intense legal cross-examination and how amazing they made the lawyer that won the case look, and place Judy in that ...role and multiple it by 4. She was ready, able and aggressive. One lawyer you want on your side and don't want to see against you. She was something to behold. Got the case dismissed with some case she quoted from the past, pulled out of nowhere. I was vindicated and HRO was dismissed. Thank so much, Judy

Quick & Efficient and worth the money!

I hired Ms. Samson to represent my 16 year old son in a Careless driving case. She handled it quickly and efficiently. The end result was better than we expected - Hats off to Ms. Samson, she gave our family "piece of mind" and we will be referring her to those who can use someone in her field of l...aw.

Great experience

While getting a DWI for the first time was not fun...very terifying actually. Judy was very supportive and knowledgeable and made me feel ok. She is also very responsive and reasonable in price. I would highly recommend her. Also I did do my due diligence and had referenced her with a few other top ...attorneys here in town and they had spoke well of her.

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.
