Samuel M Huestis

I have worked with Sam Huestis since 2018. He is an EXTREMELY ethical, honest, fair, & trustworthy trust litigation lawyer who is an outstanding advocate! After my Mom passed, I greatly resisted hiring a lawyer to represent me; consequently, I suffered a great deal of blatant unfairness and animosi...ty from a combative & extremely expensive trust litigation law firm whose legal bills rapidly depleted tens of thousands of dollars from my Mom's trust. Ironically, this other firm is exactly why my Mom, and many others in this world, abhor dealing with lawyers. Getting burned by the other expensive & arrogant trust litigation law firm reinforced my distrust of lawyers. When I interviewed trust lawyers in Ventura County, I learned few are "trust litigation" lawyers. Sam is a "trust litigation" lawyer. This means he can go the full distance to trial, if necessary, which avoids the added cost of hiring a 2nd lawyer if things must go to trial. When I hired Sam, I was a deep cynic of both trust litigation lawyers and the trust laws that seem to protect unethical successor trustees at the expense of the rights of beneficiaries. Sam put an immediate stop to the abuse I suffered from the opposing arrogant law firm; he leveled the playing field. Sam also billed fairly and protected my money by doing things in the most cost effective manner. There are very few words that properly convey my PROFOUND sense of appreciation for Sam Huestis, an extremely rare, fair, honest, ethical, and talented lawyer! Sam Huestis is the antithesis of the worst types of lawyers; this is why Sam Huestis was/is my knight in shining armor. I consider myself terribly blessed to have found Sam. I am forever grateful to him for all he did to protect my best interests with my Mom's trust....and for transforming me from a deep cynic....to someone who is forever deeply grateful. My heartfelt thanks for all you did to create justice and fairness for me Sam!
