excellent service

Sam has been and was most excellent during my time of need. He fought tirelessly to help me out during the most sour patch in my life. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a lawyer for Dui's. He's very easy to talk to, understanding, and will not stop trying to fight on your behalf. His prices ar...e extremely reasonable, and he again is just amazing all around. Give this man a raise, and make him a judge!

Lisen to this

When one of the best lawyers in the county almost ruins your case and then tells you it's all lost, doesn't believe what you say after he takes your money, a person might just give up, we'll not me, I kept searching and I found Sam, truly he sounded sharp and I liked his name, I almost lost hope and ...for some reason he was not expensive at all, so I went with him. sam really believes that justice comes right after service, so first since I was his client and he was working for me he just assumed I'm right and I'm innocent which was a true notion, from here on what happend made "better" lawyers look like fools. The outcome was better then I have imagined. Do yourself a favour and talk to Mister Samuel Daw before you talk to any other lawyer around.

MR.DAW, WHAT CAN I SAY.......

SAMUAL DAW WILL KEEP YOU OUT OF JAIL. HE IS FRIENDLY, PERSONAL, AND ABOUT HELPING PEOPLE IN TROUBLE. SOMETIMES THERE ARE CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN YOU WHEN JAIL IS JUST NOT AN ALTERNATIVE FOR YOU. HE WILL DO HIS BEST TO KEEP YOU OUT. DO YOUR BEST TO STAY OUT.

DAW FOR TAKING MY CASE. I AM VERY HAPOPY I CHOSE YOU TO REPRESENT ME.

Samuel Thomas Daw

Samuel Thomas Daw has a great personality, good sense of humor, and very intelligent. He is a great attorney because he cares and really helps his clients as much as he can. He has helped me out by getting me extensions and cutting down services that i had to complete for the court. He's very trustw...orthy and has always kept me informed, not only is he a great attorney but also a good friend, he checks on me often to see how I'm doing. I'm glad i hired him. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney.

Professional, knowledgeable, Accessible

Mr. Daw helped me with an incident I had last summer. He was professional and very vigorous in my defense. He was able to work with me and the prosecutors to achieve the best results that were available for me, given my circumstances. Sam was always accessible as well. He gave me his personal cell ph...one number and I was able to call him at anytime with any question. He kept me well informed throughout the legal process and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone who needs legal representation.

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.
