Samuel A Goble

Honest, in-depth answers that a "regular person" can understand

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.

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!

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.

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.

He was very informative, answered all my many questions very thoroughly, and gave great advice. He was very willing to help me in any way he could and I would recommend him to anyone seeking counsel in his field. -Crystal

I've had the pleasure of using Sam's services on 2 separate instances. With both circumstances, Sam was professional, direct and gave me valuable advice. On a 3rd occasion, I was out of state on business and faced with an urgent legal matter. Sam was able to give me a few minutes to contain the situation and regain control. I will continue utilizing Sam's legal services. I highly recommend Sam Goble as excellent attorney.

I have worked for attorneys for over 20 years as well as used a couple different firms on a couple different occasions when the need be. I was not familiar with this firm or with this particular attorney prior to hiring them to help me with this case, but after researching I am confident and relaxed knowing that I am not the only individual who cares about and is involved in this case. They are very thorough and surprised me on several occasions with information they had researched on their own pertaining to details and individuals in this case, which is very impressive. Courteous, professional, prompt and very informative during the procedure. I have referred Sam Goble every opportunity and will continue to do so confidently.

I hired Sam Goble for a probate matter, to help me protect my dear mother's legacy, her uncontested will and my legal standing as her personal representative and her sole heir. Sam Goble failed to take proper actions to protect my legal position. His failures caused my mother's legally prepared, uncontested will to be disrespected and dishonored, and my entire inheritance to be lost to disinherited-by-name offspring. Sam Goble failed to do important legal work, used delay tactics, kept me uninformed and in the dark, refused to provide communications with opposing counsel, and then lost my entire inheritance. Sam Goble failed to provide proper legal counsel for peripheral issues causing me to miss a statute of limitations date on a valid medical malpractice matter. The firm had a disinterested approach causing me and my important legal matter to be put off and disregarded. The firm drew down thousands of dollars in retainer in the first month claiming it was Sam Goble's "review of documents"; but then months and months went by with zero action and Sam Goble forgot about the facts - the same facts that never wavered or changed. Necessary subpoenas weren't done at all and one that was completed was rejected by the entity for improper preparation, and was not pursued thereafter. I terminated the services of Sam Goble in Oct, 2020, 6 months after hiring him. I disputed line items in billings along the way; but received negative pushback and then more billings for the time to answer my original billing questions. I've filed a formal complaint at the Utah State Bar, Office of Professional Conduct. Sam Goble has been notified that my truthful complaint has been filed. He is required to respond to the OPC. His lack of action and follow-up and abject failures cost my dear mother her legally prepared legacy and his failures caused me to lose my rightful inheritance + cost me more attorney fees to retain an appellate level Salt Lake City lawyer to address the judicial nightmare. Competent counsel in Salt Lake City was retained, a valid Motion for Reconsideration was filed and I took back what had been lost. Sam Goble was ill-prepared and lacked competency. I do not recommend the legal services of Sam Goble. RIP Mom <3
