The best…

I hired Sam for probate (Jan 2022) and I was absolutely in good hands. He is very good in communicating, he emails back or calls back promptly.. no long wait. He handled the issues in an excellent way. He is very knowledgeable that we came out in the good end of mediation (June 2022). Big WIN. He w...as very open how I can save attorneys fees too . That really surprised me and I’m thankful of that of course. It was a smooth journey with this lawyer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED…

Best Trust litigation attorney in the Northwest

After having serious concerns about a Trustee for 8 years, and having contacted 12 different attorneys, I finally found Mr. Samuel E. Sears. Along the 8 year journey I had learned that Trust Litigation is a very specific area of the law, and there were only 3 attorneys in the Pacific Northwest that ...were experts. I contacted them all but after being referred to Mr Sears by an actual probate Judge I was fortunate to be able to hire Mr. Sears. His was wonderful, affordable, and handled my case perfectly. I strongly suggest anyone with concerns about Trusts, and specifically Trust litigation contact Mr. Sears. He is the best in the business, and although he was 50 miles away in Salem, Oregon, he was a much better choice than the other two experts who were both located locally in Portland. He was honest, fair, compassionate, and the best possible choice for the task. I would further encourage anyone in need to contact him early. Civil claims often have a short life expectancy, so don't make the mistake I did, and hire counsel as soon as you suspect problems exist.
