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!

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.

Smart determined experienced someone that will fight for you

I hired Judy Samson this was the second time hiring her. She showed up earlier for my court date and had everything done before my court time even started I was out of there. I was facing gross misdemeanor charges and she got both charges dismissed. She was upfront with me and didn't sugarcoat things... . She went out of her way to meet me during during thanksgiving holiday. She answered her phone every time I called and if I called she answered my questions right away. She was not judge mental and very easy to talk to. The advice she gave me was effective and worked. She knows how to do her job and she very good at it.

Excellent lawyer

Judith handled my case in just one visit and I didn't even have to go before a judge. She turned my gross misdemeanor into a petty misdemeanor and was very prompt and professional every time we spoke. I would highly recommend hiring her as your attorney.

  • 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.
