Hiring Sam Moore is always a win-win in my book!

I made an appointment with Sam for a consultation so I could get legal advise from someone who knew what they were doing. I was happy to get an appointment the next and and even happier when I didn't have to pay for a consultation fee. I didn't get a lot of preparation before my Temporary Hearing..., but that was okay...he obviously knew my case inside and out. Sure enough, we won the first round. At the final hearing, Sam once again won my case against a terrible attorney on the other side. Sam is very matter of fact and doesn't say anything unless it needs to be said. He always says what's on his mind, regardless if I liked it or not. Sam and his paralegal, Athena, had my best interests at heart and I'll never believe what some of these reviews have said about their one of them. In closing, if you need a kick-ass law firm to handle your case...call Sam Moore!

Child Custody

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....

Never 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.
