Great attorney, Great person

Samie was my public defender 4 years ago. I will never forget him because he went the extra mile in every aspect of my case. He really cares about his clients and wants nothing but the best for them!

Great lawyer. Got the job done and more!

I came into Mr. Ata's office on the referral of a friend. I did not know what to expect. I was in some personal trouble and did not have any previous experiences with the law. Mr. Ata assured me that a case brought against me by someone who I trusted did not have much legal ground, and in fact,... this person was at fault! Not only did Mr. Ata help defend myself successfully, we win a small amount of damages in return! I can't thank Mr. Ata enough! He wanted to know all the details and seemed like a straight-talker. He helped me out in a tough situation!

Honest

I approached Mr. Ata in representing me in a legal malpractice claim. After reviewing my files, Mr. Ata recommended that I contact two other colleagues because the case was to big for his firm. Honest and integrity has gone the way of the almighty dollar, but Mr. Ata reaffirmed that he will be hone...st about you, your needs, and I have no doubt that he would have worked for me, if my case would have been less complicated.

As a client I could not have asked for more than what Mr. Ata provided me!

When I needed an attorney I wanted one that I felt was as passionate about my case and my truth as I was. I am grateful to have found Mr. Ata! Unlike many attorneys I have dealt with in my life, Mr. Ata always listened to me. He made a point of understanding what I was saying. He took my feelings... and life situation into consideration at all times. Maybe most importantly, Mr. Ata always treated me with respect and dignity! Mine was a difficult case which took a lot of time and effort. Mr. Atta never stopped. He was constantly working and thinking. It was important to me that my attorney have high morals and integrity and Mr. Ata did! I would trust Mr. Ata with any legal issue I have in the future and would highly recommend him to any potential client!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
