Crooked cop gets busted

I would recommend Sam to anybody that has a problem with law enforcement. My son was arrested on bogus charges and thanks to Sams hard work and unfailing commitment to exonerating my son he just walked out of jail a couple of days ago after spending over 10 months in. The arresting officer will proba...bly have a hard time sitting for a while after the judge got through ripping him a new one. Just because they are police officers does not mean they are above the law as Sam showed in this case they were trying to put my son away for 18 to 20 years and he walked out and now it’s his turn to go after them. I want them to be on the receiving end and see how it feels except my son is on the right side of the law. Thank you, thank you, thank you so very much Sam. Tony and I will never forget you.

Fanominal Attorney!!!

I've worked with Sameul for just under a year with my DUI case an it finally got dismissed today! The cards were in our favor as long as you knew which order the put them down, an Sameul was way ahead of the game out the gate. He did the impossible some might say, I can't thank him enough! I would re...commend him to anyone that needs a good knowledgeable Attorney that gets the job done right! Thank you Sameul Williams!!!

Very beneficial

I've hired Mr Williams twice to help me with legal issues. He knows the law. He helped me to explain my situation in a professional manor and knew where to look to gather the information I needed. He is a brilliant man. I will use him again if needed.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I highly recommend Sam Williams. Sam worked with me at my law firm for many years. He and I also worked as co-counsel once he entered private practice. Sam has distinguished himself as a very bright, passionate advocate for the accused. He has special aptitude for science, breath test technology, computer technology and searches. He has a great interest in all things computer related. I believe that this knowledge and passion for the computers allows him to be far more effective in research and investigation than us old folks. He and I worked together on a case involving a very serious sexual accusations where our client faced the rest of his life in prison. Our client had great confidence in Mr. Williams and was always impressed by Mr. Williams enthusiasm and hard work. You would be very lucky to have Sam Williams as your lawyer."
