This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great attorney

I would like to say I would recommend samantha to anyone. She is a great attorney and listens. Other attorneys that I have talked to don't take the time to listen or if a concern if voiced they don't listen. Samantha listens and takes any concern that you have seriously. She also addresses the situat...ion and outcomes that could take place and let's you know upfront. She was great to work with.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
