Civil harassment restraining order

Sam helped me with a civil harassment restraining order case. I called his office early in the morning and his assistant Lauryn took my information and with in minutes, Sam returned my call. Having a direct contact with him made me feel conformable and made the process less stressful. I highly recom...mend Sam because he is very professional, ethical, trustworthy and knowledgeable. He guided me through the process and answer any questions and concerns I had, explaining everything in a way I could understand. We were able to obtain a positive resolution in the case. If anyone need help with a legal issue Samuel Geller is the attorney to call.

DUI Defense Expert

It is with the utmost respect and privilege to write this review for Sam Geller. I was charged with a DUI. From the moment I hired Sam as my counsel he was there for me every step of the process - and it is a long process. First, Sam immediately told me what I needed to do in order to get ahead of th...e case. Follow all of his instructions and you will be on your way to a much better outcome. There are several mitigating things you must do immediately following being charged. Sam knows what these are and will take you through each one. Throughout the entire process, Sam was always available to answer my questions through text, email, or a phone call expeditiously. I also want to stress that his expertise coupled with his professionalism were impeccable. Sam is an expert in this area of law. He has a demeanor that is always calm which in turn will put you more at ease and thinking more clearly. I know for a fact, that if I had not hired Sam, the outcome of my case - and in turn, my life- would be much more negative and completely different. Sam’s legal representation guaranteed me the best outcome I could possibly have hoped for. Hire him. It is the best decision you will make. I found Sam through Yelp and understand the importance of these reviews. You will be in the best hands should you hire Sam and I fully recommend him without any reservation.

Sam was very straight forward and helped me guided through my DUI court case. He was super helpful and eased my mind with the whole ordeal. A DUI can be quite difficult to navigate, and it was a pleasure to have him navigate through the situation. If you want a kind, optimistic, easy to work with law...yer, sam is the person to go to

DUI

Sam is one of the biggest blessings in my life. I was pulled over for a DUI, first time I've ever been pulled over for a traffic violation of this kind. I panicking and head spinning in a million different directions, but I called Sam after I was released from jail and he gave me great belief, trust,... and encouragement that we would be able to fight this case together. He handled everything from start to finish and always provided me with updates on the case. Even when he was busy, he would always follow up with multiple phone calls to make sure I was kept in the loop. In the end, he got me a dry reckless plea and even gained an order of acquittal so that I could keep my license. What could've been a full DUI conviction on my criminal and driving records turned into a slap of the wrist while keeping my driving privileges.

"This is the attorney I go to when I have issues with a case in federal court. I had a serious white collar crime case that involved embezzlement. I did not know if a civil compromise was possible based on the facts of the case. Within minutes I knew Sam knows what he is talking about and can actually give specific advise instead of vague answers that are useless. This is my go to guy if I need any assistance for my federal cases."
