It was my first offence; a gross misdemeanor DUI with aggravating circumstances. Everyone I knew told me not to bother hiring an attorney because, as they put it, it will end up costing me a fortune and, in the long run, it just won’t make any difference. THEY WERE WRONG. For me, facing real and ...lengthy jail time was a terrifying experience and, as it was only my first offence, I had absolutely no idea what to expect from “the system” and was left utterly clueless regarding my fate. But, by great fortune, I was introduced to Attorney Judith Samson by a trusted friend and after our very first conversation, Judith was able to put my mind at ease and instantly took command of the situation. With her extensive experience she was able to “hold my hand” through the whole process keeping my anxieties to a very comfortable minimum. In the end, I was sentenced only to pay a very modest fine and, more important to me, received absolutely NO JAIL TIME. I honestly believe that my favorable outcome was the result of Judith’s years of experience, knowledge of the courtroom, and her great rapport with the Judge and prosecuting attorney. To this day I can not imagine facing the bench without Judith by my side. I have and will continue to recommend Judith A. Samson to friends, family, and co-workers. She was truly a SMART LITTLE ANGEL by my side.
