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

Disturbing a peace officer

Judith Called me on Christmas Day to take and review my case which took a lot of worry off my plate from a recent citation while on probation. She was prompt to respond and very personable to work with. Would highly recommend!!

No Frills, Compassionate, Ready to Fight for You

I got into a tough situation in a gross misdemeanor theft case and Judy was exactly what I needed. She contacted me within 15 minutes of me submitting a brief information questionnaire on her website and we met within the hour. From the start it felt like she was fighting for me. No frills, thinking ...outside the box, and right to the point, she gets the job done. I would recommend Judy to my friends and family 10/10.

Criminal Defense Case

I contacted Judith Samson to represent me on my misdemeanor offense for theft/shoplifting. This was the first time that I have ever been charged and I had no idea what to do. I had felt overwhelmed and anxious about my court appearance because I do not know anything about the legal system (besides Go...ogle). When I first consulted with Judith she was very attentive and professional -- she listened to my side of the story and asked questions that were relevant to my case. The appointment overall was quick and efficient. I was able to reach Judith directly on her cellphone whenever I had any questions and she also contacted me right away whenever there were any changes in my court appearance. My case ended on a good note because I was able to join a diversion program and this will put my record back to a clean start. I felt assured with Judith's representation because of her extensive knowledge in law. Her professionalism and confidence are just a few of her great qualities. I was also worried that hiring an attorney was going to cost me a fortune but Judith was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone as she is an excellent lawyer.

LegaL Representation

Needed legal representation for my son who had a misdemeanor case. With the initial review not being so positive, we hired Judith to represent us. Judith was ALWAYS available to answer any questions we had, and worked with the legal system rescheduling the court date to a date a time that was more fe...asible for us. Worst case scenario would have been jail time, but Judith professional legal representation resulted in a fee of less than $175.00 and 1 year probation. Had it not been for Judith, the outcome would have been MUCH MUCH WORSE. I HIGHLY recommend Judith for any White Collar Crime, Speeding or Traffic Matters, Misdemeanor, and other legal matters.
