Great Rep

Dan was referred to me by a friend. Right off the bat, he took the time and communicated with me to get my traffic ticket taken cared of. He gives me updates and kept me at peace because I was nervous (never contested a ticket before!) Would highly recommend as well to anyone who needs representatio...n with the same issues I had

Great service! Don't hesitate ask Dan to help you!

Dan Samas did an outstanding job on working with the traffic ticket that I got issued. This was my first (and I sincere hope the last) ticket that I got, so I had so many questions and uncertainties before I contacted Dan. I submitted a request through the web-site and Dan called me back within 30 m...inutes, patiently listened to me, explained all the options, and told me what to do step by step. I stopped being nervous about this situation right after our conversation. Dan kept me informed about the processed and called me right after the hearing to me tell that the ticket is dismissed. I sincere appreciate his outstanding work and definitely recommend his service for all of my friends.

Exceptional Lawyer!

I was recently assisted and represented by Attorney Dan Samas. It is always a challenge to find a lawyer who is appropriate for you when legal assistance is needed. Following are some of my key thoughts that may help you in making a choice should the need arrise for you. 1. Access: Dan has a qu...ality Website that is the main portal for obtaining his services. He has all the key information one needs to make a decision right there, and mechanisms to provide him with the information he requires to assist you. The Website is easy to navigate, and easy to understand. In case you prefer to start with a phone call that is also available. 2. Efficiency: Your time investment can be minimal. I had a very difficult case and spent perhaps 30 minutes total getting my pertinent information to Attorney Samas. All of our communication was via eMail. I had several questions and I always received a prompt, easy-to-understand, and useful answer. Attorney Samas was able to represent me in court without my need to be present. This was very time efficient for me as well as negating the need to walk into a tense, potentially difficult situation in the courtroom. 3. Communication: Dan personally corresponded with me every step of the way, from the moment I hired him through the conclusion of the court case. He diligently kept me fully informed of progress and let me know if any additional information was needed from me. Once the court case was complete he promptly provided a full summary of the outcome. 4. Personality: Dan was friendly, supportive, and very easy to interact with. I truly felt that he cared about my case and was doing his very best just for me. 5. Results: Dan walked my case through the court process quickly and efficiently. My case was admittedly a significant challenge, and Dan was able to obtain a very favorable outcome for me. That will save me enormously on my insurance costs as well as other hassles through the coming years. I am an exceptionally happy and satisfied client. I unequivocally recommend that you put Attorney Dan Samas at the top of your list when you need assistance with a traffic ticket. Using his services will smooth the uncomfortable process of traffic court and will enormously improve your potential for a positive outcome. Sincerely, -Mark

Hassle-free experience. Best possible outcome.

It's reviews like these that helped me find Dan, so I think it's only fair that I leave one too. Dan was the right choice for me and if you've got a traffic ticket in or around Seattle then he will be for you too. Long story short, I got a far better outcome than I expected, but with Dan's excellent ...and courteous service I'd be giving a shining review here even if it didn't work out so well for me. I had just received the most serious citation I'd ever had, a Negligent Driving 2nd Degree citation plus an additional vehicle disrepair violation. It really had me worried since that was like $700 up front plus who knows how much in the long term for insurance hikes. I knew I'd been exceeding the posted limit, but I certainly didn't think my driving warranted such a harsh consequence. I spent all night going over traffic law and trying to figure if it was even possible to fight the ticket. In the end, I just ended up feeling more hopeless about my plight. The next day I decided I should probably start looking around for help with this. Dan's online presence was like a light in the darkness. I'd never needed to make use of an attorney's services before so I had no idea what to expect, but I gave Dan a call, left a message and waited. Dan got back to me within hours, gave me a free consultation over the phone about what to expect in my situation. He clearly explained my options and reiterated his money-back guarantee on getting a better outcome than simply pleading guilty. Dan's confidence and kindness gave me hope where I had none, so I hired him immediately. From then on, Dan gave me timely updates every step of the way. I just needed to get him a copy of my citation and then follow the court's instructions for a contested hearing. Dan literally took care of everything. I didn't even end up needing to go to the court. He emailed me right after I hired him to let me know what to expect from the process with him, he emailed me again when the court set the date for the hearing, he emailed me the day before the hearing to let me know he was on top of it and he called me immediately after to let me know the outcome with a follow-up email later for all the details I needed. Guess what, the Negligent Driving 2nd Degree charge was completely dismissed! Not only that, but the vehicle violation was converted to a penalty that's not reported to the DOL! Hooray, no insurance changes! This was the hugest weight off my shoulders and it's all thanks to Dan! There is no doubt that I will be recommending Dan to anyone and everyone I know who needs legal help for traffic citations in Seattle. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dan!
