We are all flawed. When I defend each client, I am not just defending that one individual, I am defending all of humanity. This long-standing belief drives me to give my entire heart and soul to each case, whether its a disorderly conduct charge or an aggravated homicide.
Practice areas
Holistic criminal defense practice with a special focus on defending people with developmental and/or mental health and addiction issues and people who have been charged with sex offenses and other high-stigma crimes.

Fiercely determined. These are the words that come to mind when asked to describe attorney Anna Sammons. Anna's experience includes years of work as an appellate attorney. She knows the mistakes trial lawyers routinely make and she applies that knowledge to her current trial work. I regularly refer clients to Anna when I am too busy to take them on. I do so confidently, knowing that she puts her heart, soul, and intellect into each client's case. I heartily endorse Anna Sammons.
Justus McCann, Criminal defense Attorney on Mar 29, 2019
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have worked with Ms. Sammons on two separate matters in which we represented mutual clients, with Ms. Sammons handling the client's criminal matters, while I handled the client's civil matters. Ms. Sammons is knowledgeable, diligent, and zealously advocates for her clients. She also takes a holistic approach and does a great job of coordinating her defense efforts with her client's other pending matters. She is a very skilled legal writer and a good communicator. I strongly endorse her for any criminal defense matters you may have.

Anna goes above and beyond to be the most effective advocate for her clients. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and fearless. I would trust her with any case.

Anna Sammons is a brilliant, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough attorney. Throughout my time working with and for Anna, she continued to impress me each day with creative legal strategies and effective legal advocacy that went far beyond what is often deemed acceptable in the criminal defense field. She treats her clients with kindness and collegiality. One would be well advised to retain Ms. Sammons.
Warren Landau, Criminal defense Attorney on Jan 13, 2019
Relationship: Co-worker
I endorse this lawyer. I worked with her for several years and, on occasion, supervised her. She was a diligent researcher and very good legal writer who was prepared and presented well in court, and was knowledgeable, tireless, and highly zealous in the representation of her clients, to whom she related well. It was New York State's loss when Ms. Sammons relocated to Oregon.
Laura Coffin, Unknown Attorney on Jan 2, 2019
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer.
