An attorney you can trust!

I've worked with many attorneys in the past and lets just say it's been eye-opening. Sam really stands out in the world of attorneys! I would describe him as honest and helpful.. There are times when he could "take my money" but he lets me know if something is unnecessary or if there is a better ...way to accomplish my goal. This has helped to develop a lot of trust. He is great at managing a big plan with all of the pieces and moving parts that entails. He is my go to resource when I have a question about business law, asset protection, or real estate transactions.

Excellent Business Attorney

We initially retained Sam Lockhart a few years ago to negotiate with our landlord to reduce our monthly rent on the space we lease for our business. He was able to achieve a 40% rent reduction which was huge for us, much more than we expected. He assisted us with setting up another Corporation, estab...lishing our Family Trust, reviewed our Employee Handbook from a legal perspective and is always available to answer the many questions that a small business owner has. He is an invaluable resource and a great person. My husband and I would highly recommend him.

Excellent day at the office

Sam Did both a couple of trust and some contract work for my mother and I and we were delighted at the end results of all his hard work. Avery pleasant family man who really knows his job. Also Caleb, his assistant is quite knowledgeable in expediting and minimizing my workload as a client. I would r...ecommend this law group to all. Top notch experience and I will use them again.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
