Best Lawyer Ever

Best lawyer ever. I could not be happier with Kim's performance and attitude. Kimberly has treated me like a human being, not as someone who may have done something wrong. Kimberly listens and executes. Everything I have asked her to do, she has done with ease, even through COVID-19. I highly recomme...nd her services.

The Best

Kimberly samman is the best lawyer in Houston. Maybe even in the state of Texas. I'm a habitual felon and was on the verge of going back to prison when she walked in the courtroom and poked holes in the defense's case. All in one setting. God bless you mrs. Samman

Saved

I have used Kim twice. The first time I was looking at 15-life and because of her due diligence and hardwork, got me probation. The 2nd time I was falsely accused of domestic battery and from the onset she calmed me down and I got to see the ferocious side of her when someone is falsely accused. S...he got my case dismissed. I am starting to be a successful businessman and my life would have been very different if I hadn’t met her 10 years ago. I literally owe my life and my freedom to her. Thank you so much Kim. Me and my family love you and your firm.

The #1 Lawyer in the state of Texas

I have been a client of Kimberly Samman's more than once. In those times I was not always the most polite and logical person to be around. No matter what I was going through Mrs. Samman was always right there to answer my questions. She did not always tell me what I wanted to hear BUT she always ans...wered me with the honest truth. I can not thank her enough for her professionalism, attention to detail, and knowledge of the law. It was also a huge plus for me when I looked around her office just to see picture after picture of her beautiful family. This tells me she is not only a good lawyer but a good mother and wife. Thank you Kimberly Samman

  • 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.
