Dismissed

I have never hired a lawyer before Judith. She read through all the information on both sides very carefully and found the things that would matter. Made key points and cut out all the middle stuff and had a clear plan. She reassured me throughout the process that things would be ok and even in cou...rt helped to keep me calm during the process. Judith was very professional through out the entire time from meeting her to leaving the court room. Would recommend her to anyone who needs help with a court case. She explained all the proceedings and how things would go which is benefical to myself as I have never gone through such things.

Trustworthy and Informative!

Judith always kept me informed on what was going on with my case. If I had questions she was there to answer them and gave me great advice. She did not sugar coat things and always gave me a straight answer so I knew what to expect. Even after my case was closed she has followed up with me and made t...hings as smooth as possible.

Trustworthy, Anticipatory, Fair

Judith Samson did a wonderful job for me on my case. She is very hardworking, honest, and always willing to take a call to answer questions or address concerns. Judith is sharp, focused, and intuitive. There were times I did feel a bit out of the loop but she got me up to speed per our next communica...tion.

Amazing experience

From the moment Judy became my attorney she has been always there to answer any questions or concerns whether I call her office or personally. Her work ethic is beyond measurable and is very evident in court. I was very lucky to have her by side as I stood in court. I would recommend Judy to Anyone a...s I was referred to her and after looking at her bio I knew I couldn't go wrong.

Superb lawyer by your side, fighting hard for you all the way.

From day 1 Judi Samson was there for you, listening to what you have to say and always welcoming to answer all of your questions. She led you through the process and guided you through the system with ease. Her honest, strong work ethic stands high and this definitely shows in court. She is truly a ...fighter for what is right and will fight hard for you all the way. I would definitely hire her again and I highly recommend her to my friends and family.

  • 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.
