Quick and Efficient

I am located out of state and Judith Samson took care of everything for me so that I did not have to return once to handle my legal matters. She was quick and efficient and my charge has now been expunged from my records due to her. A+

Awesome in a title IX defense of son

Judith Samson was kind and compassionate in the defense of our wrongfully accused son in a title ix case. After a ridiculously long time (school dragged its feet)he won his case. She is smart and just the person to defend innocent people. Couldn’t have done it without her!

Very Pleased with resolution.

Ms. Samson was extremely helpful in coming up with a resolution in a driving citation case.

Gave Me Peace of Mind

I had the worse end of the year realizing that I could potentially receive a citation in the mail due to an incident in regards to theft. I was beyond nervous, scared, and had a billion questions for Judith. From day one she was supportive, understanding, and most of all professional. I knew I was in... good hands. Nothing came of it (or has yet) but I know that if it were to be the case Judith would have my back so it's one less worry. I would highly recommend her from our brief experience together to literally anyone for any concerns and legal counsel.

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.
