Wonderful Work. Fabulous Attention to Detail. Efficient like Crazy

I hired Samantha to see over my drug case and not only was she there for every single court date, she had a well thought out plan for my sentencing. She created an amazing summary that my judge actually commented on and applauded her for. She always kept me in the loop with her strategies and kept ...me up to de And completely kept me up to date via text and email about all up coming court dates. She was Affordable, compassionate, loving and efficient. I highly recommend her to everyone in any sticky situation.

Will put her heart and soul into fighting for you!

Samantha is amazing! My Husband and I were referred to her by Jonathan Edgar who was incarcerated with my Husband and helping him with his case. Just when we thought we had exhausted all efforts to get my Husbands case the attention it needed (wrongfully convicted) He found a major flaw that other At...torneys neglected to find and helped him file a petition and actually got my Husband back into court which is where Samantha came in. She is very professional and you can see that she truly cares! Since she has been working on his case, she has also found many issues. She is so passionate about getting my Husband home to me as soon as possible. She's continued to do everything in her power to list facts as to in the injustices done in his case. It has been a long drawn out process since his case went back to court and she continues to fight hard for him and might I add hasn't asked me for a penny since my initial payment. My husband and I appreciate her and Jonathan so much. His case would not have made it this far if it wasn't for them! No matter how things play out going forward, I'll always know she did everything she could possibly do. And no matter what, with all she's already done, he will definitely be home much sooner that I ever could have anticipated.

Outstanding in Bond Forfeiture Court

Samantha Dumond handles all of my bond forfeiture court appearances. I am a Bail bond agency owner and have been using her services for years. She has argued over 100 cases for my company. On numerous occasions, she has went above and beyond with her arguments to obtain end results in my favor. These... can sometimes be very difficult arguments, however, Samantha Dumond never fails to impress me with her success rate. I will continue using her for all of my legal needs as she is very experienced in bond forfeitures, and civil law as I often use her expertise for both!

"Samantha is a great attorney that truly cares about her clients. I have worked with and for Samantha on many cases in multiple areas of law, including criminal defense, appeals, and bond forfeiture proceedings. Never afraid to accept a challenge, Samantha is passionate about learning new areas of the law. Samantha's knowledge of the law, legal writing ability, and creativity in legal strategy are some of her greatest strengths as an attorney. Samantha is not someone that will simply accepts the status quo; instead, she will fight for a result that makes sense and is not afraid to incite change to reach that result. I see Samantha as a great attorney, mentor, and friend."

"I have known Samantha DuMond for about 4 years now. She was first a gracious boss, then a valued business partner, and all along the way she became a lifelong friend. Samantha is a self-starter. From business actitivies to all different areas of law, she lets nothing get in her way to learning a new area, fully understanding it, and providing quality representation. I have seen her handle probate matters, criminal defense matters, family law matters, civil matters, appellate matters, post conviction relief matters, and bond forfeitures. Her willingness to learn so many areas of law is grounded in her desire to help people in need. Samantha’s knowledge of the law is great, but her heart to help people is greater. When the law is not written in a way that makes the most sense, Samantha doesn’t just accept that, but instead she takes action to change and improve the law. She is an advocate for veterans, a leader in the field for bond forfeitures, and I am honored to work alongside her."
