Review Samuel Goble

Recommendation for Sam Goble

Posted by

Sam Goble is an excellent attorney! In the process of selling my home I was informed that a lien had been placed on my home 14 years prior that I knew nothing about. The other side was being completely unreasonable and would not listen to reason. I hired Sam and he had a resolution for me 48 hours after I gave him the paperwork. He was able to negotiate with the other side and settled the debt for a fraction of what they were originally asking. Sam took so much stress out of my life. He kept me updated every step of the way. I would definitely recommend him!

I consider myself fortunate to meet the attorney mr Goble

Posted by

I was arrested by police and put in jail for a few hours. I felt that the reason why they did it not fair and contact mr Goble for advise. He was a very attentive and paid a great attention to the details. He was agree with me that police could of find another solution in my situation. When he represented me he was sharp and reasonable . The case was dropped. Thank you mr Goble!

I needed a legal advice but I don't really have finances to hire a lawyer. So I started searching for lawyers who could help me. Sam was one of them. Even though he did not receive a payment for helping me, I could tell he truly cared and listened. Thank you, Sam.

Called Sam to get some help with a contract dispute with a previous insurance company. He immediately dropped everything he was doing to walk me through the process without once trying to loop me in as a client. He was extremely friendly and candid about the situation - if I need to bring an attorney on it will definitely be Sam.

Amazing Attorney!

Posted by

I talked to Sam about my case and he ended up taking it even though it's not the kind he usually handles. Before I found him and he offered to help me I talked to numerous people and places and they all told me they can't help me or that they redirected me. I almost gave up, but then I found Avvo and posted a question. He replied very quickly and I messaged him immediately for help. I finally found someone to help me and I was so grateful. I talked to Sam about my case, and he told me everything he thought about it. He was very straight forward with me, and made sure I understood what I was doing. I am only an 18 year old girl who is a rookie in the adult world, so I didn't really know what I was doing. He was very blunt with me about everything (Not a bad thing), and made sure to explain everything thoroughly. Very kind and helpful and I could tell he really wanted to help me. I hired him and he is handling my case. So very thankful I finally found someone to help me. Awesome Attorney! Definitely my top recommendation!

Excellent representation

Sam was easy to deal with, he gave me very clear options about our strategy as well as realistic expectations about possible outcomes. He did an excellent job providing me with risk/reward analysis for each scenario and I was extremely pleased with the final outcome.

Criminal Defense & Employment

Posted by

I was facing serious criminal charges and my employment was involved. I had tried other attorneys referred by trusted friends and always got treated like I was a “favor”, not a client. I knew my charges were serious and could have very long lasting effects on my family and career, but I was a deer-in-headlights as what to do about it. I found Sam based on his trial experience and never regretted going with him as my attorney. Not ONCE did Sam ever make me feel judged. He listened, got down to business and set a course for us to resolve my concerns. I was facing a Class A Misdemeanor Charge of Theft and an inevitable termination of my employment. Thanks to Sam's involvement, counsel, and instruction the charges were reduced to a Class B Misdemeanor Charge of Wrongful Appropriation via a Plea in Abeyance, and arranged it so I could resign (not be terminated) and bound the employer from any slanderous terminology that might affect future employment. It was a real comfort knowing I was being represented by someone with excellent applicable knowledge and experience. Should I ever need representation outside of Sam’s area of practice, I would still go to Sam for a referral.

Ronald Eisenberg

I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Goble gives no-nonsense answers to those with questions on AVVO and has a broad practice area.

Jonathan Nish, Litigation Attorney on Nov 19, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Mr. Goble is an honest and forthright litigator. He manages to maintain a perfect balance of ethics and aggressiveness, all the while being a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him to anybody seeking an attorney they could trust to handle their case and truly keep their best interest at the forefront.

Glenn Stephens, Criminal defense Attorney on Sep 4, 2015
Relationship: Other

I don't have direct knowledge of Mr. Goble. But any bright young lawyer who spends time as a public defender has a moral center many lawyers lack. He could have decided instead to chase after $$ and he chose to help people who can't afford representation. Well done!

Craig Pankratz, Criminal defense Attorney on Feb 27, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I worked on many cases as a prosecutor with Sam serving as a public defender. He always did a fantastic job for his clients.

Robert Cummings, Litigation Attorney on Dec 7, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Sam is one of my "go to" confidants whenever I face complex issues in my cases. Sam's breadth of knowledge -- from criminal defense to complex civil litigation -- provides him with the background upon which I rely when working through matters. While Sam is creative and can achieve great results for his clients with his creativity, he is also conservative when necessary, including with assessing risks for his clients and attorney ethics. Overall, Sam provides attorneys with an example of which we should aspire to be.

Adam Alba, Criminal defense Attorney on Aug 1, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Sam is a hard working attorney with knack for creativity in resolving his cases. I endorse him wholeheartedly.

Danielle Hawkes, Employment and labor Attorney on Jul 21, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Sam is a fantastic attorney! He is endlessly intelligent. I frequently go to him for answers about legal conundrums.
