Samuel L. Moore

We've hired Sam Moore on several occasions, once to fight for custody of my niece and nephews several years ago. Sam and Athena were very thorough and did an excellent job. They won the case and we got custody of the kids. More recently we hired Sam to assist with a custody battle for our daug...hter against her ex-husband who was attempting to minimize the amount of child support he had to pay (quit a full time job the week of the hearing) and tried to get out of paying for our grand-child's insurance. Every attempt to weasel out of his responsibilities Sam was able to prevent and made the ex and his attorney look like fools in the courtroom. Sam and Athena are very skilled at what they do. Lets just say I'm glad their on my side. On yet another occasion my many years ago, my Mother-in-law and father-in-law hired Sam to obtain "Grand-parent's" rights and visitation with their grand-child....Sam was successful and won visitation rights for my in-laws.... Every time our family has hired Sam he's knocked it out of the park....

I spoke with multiple attorneys before coming to Sam and no one was willing to take my case. The one who said he would take my case said his fee was twice what Sam charged me. I felt like Sam had my child's best interest at heart and made me feel like I was in good hands. Sam took my family la...w case after I was served with paperwork and we ended up terminating the father's rights, which is what I wanted in the first place. Sam is very direct and to the point. His paralegal was very kind and basically held my hand the whole way through the case. So, in closing...if you want to hire an attorney, Sam Moore should be your first choice!!!

My kids's mother sued me for custody and I hired Sam Moore to represent me. At the Temporary Hearing, Sam was well prepared with the information I provided to him. Needless to say, we won the first round and my ex filed for a De Novo Hearing (basically an appeal) the Associate Judge's decision. Th...e big Judge ruled in my favor a second time. When we got to the Final Hearing, Sam (once again) was well prepared, had taken notes as to all of the information we had discussed in his office, and we won AGAIN. His paralegal was very kind, knowledgeable, and basically held my hand through my legal proceedings. Should I ever have any other legal issues arise, I will most definitely hire Sam Moore again!

My case was a family civil matter. The paralegal is nice until you pay. You will not be able to speak with the lawyer unless you make a big deal of it. The paralegal there is not just rude and unprofessional, she is mean. I was yelled at, condescended, forced to make snap decisions with no chance... to consider them or get answers to what the ramifications of my decisions could be. I believe the paralegal was working for the opposing attorney because she demanded that I do what he told her I "had" to do when she had no facts and knew nothing about it. She and the opposing attorney were wrong. She fell for the opposing attorney's b.s. over my facts and got mad at me because she was wrong. My case was a file she wanted off her desk, the eye-rolling made it clear. She threatened to quit her job because her boss was an "a-hole," smoked cigarettes behind his back and just made me cry my eyes out after every conversation with her because she was so abusive. I made my husband start talking to her because I could not take it any more and the very first conversation she started screaming at him and next thing they were yelling at eachother because she lied to us flat-out. My husband could not believe it. I kept telling him she was the worst person I've ever dealt with. We are reasonable, grounded people. The attorney, the few times you get to speak with him, is aloof and dismisses your concerns. The office had not been cleaned in the year and a half the case took. The thick layers of dust were everywhere with magazines strewn around. It is obvious they aren't even trying to appear to care because they are immune from any sanctions provided a bare minimum of standards is kept. Legal matters can be very stressful, but I have never been treated so poorly in all my life. The paralegal would be fired by any legitimate business. Astounding.
