Sam Is Your Man

There are really no words to describe Mr. Sam Ramirez. He is absolutely amazing. I had walked out of a grocery store with a full cart of groceries not thinking due to a family emergency. I was living in fear facing theft III charges. Sam listened to my story with understanding and compassion and rep...laced the feeling of fear I carried with trust. Sam has this warm energy and familiar kind of comfort that eases your difficult situation. My case was dismissed and I feel blessed beyond belief. Anyone would be lucky to have Sam as an attorney.

Excellent, Professional Experience

I have never been an any situation where I needed an attorney. He was affordable, and listened to my side of the story. My charges were significantly reduced because of his advice and my willingness to listen.

Expert Representation with my intrest being a priority

Mr. Ramirez gave his valuable time on short notice. After shopping around, It was a excellent price for the service provided. The possible outcomes of my court cases looked bleak for me, but with Mr. Ramirez representing me, I was more than pleased with the outcome! Honestly I didn't think this outco...me was even possible and at such a reasonable rate, I would gladly recommend Mr. Ramirez as a lawyer.

Quality Representation delivered with confidence

Sam Ramirez has been my attorney for over 5 years. He consistently has offered professional legal representation with confidence that is calming to his clients yet intimidating to even the best prosecuting attorneys out there. He is not only efficient with his time, he is sympathetic to your needs an...d also to whatever situation you may find yourself in. Sam will never over promise and under deliver. His vast experience in not only the law in the state of Washington but also the prosecuting attorneys and Judges is a true advantage to any case. Sometime life throws you a curve ball, Sam Ramirez will take the curve ball and throw it out of the ball park. If you need representation that is professional, efficient and delivered with confidence, I recommend Sam Ramirez as the attorney that you hire. I did over and over again.

Professional, Effective, Flexible, Affordable

I hate going to court. Even in the best of circumstances it is stressful, exhausting, and embarassing. This particular trip was far from an ideal situation for me. Sam really turned the situation around though. He and his firm managed to make wine from the water I was figuratively floundering in.... Right from the start, he was flexible and sympathetic to my situation, and at no point did i feel disgraceful when we were discussing my case. Instead he genuinely made me feel like someone was fighting for me. He accomodated my busy schedule with a weekend consultation, set reasonable expectations regarding the outcome of my trial, and eventually far exceeded those expectations. During the entire process, he was kind, courteous, and even humorous at times. In the end, his services were very affordable. I saved thousands of dollars by hiring him, compared to what could have happened if i had used a less effective attorney. The whole experience was outstanding, and I would gladly recommend him and his associates to anyone needing legal help!

Personal injury lawyer | Apr 25

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I met Sam when he was opposing counsel on a significant personal injury matter. It quickly became evident that he knew plaintiff's work well- in fact I later learned he had worked on the inside as counsel for an insurance company. He was fair, prepared, professional and relentless in our case. His client won't have to work again for a long time-if ever. I don't hesitate to recommend Sam Ramirez for personal injury cases on Bainbridge or anywhere on the Peninsula."

Personal injury lawyer | Jan 17

Relationship: Co-worker

"I admit I'm a bit biased because Sam is my friend and law partner. But he is also a very talented attorney. When we worked for a Seattle based insurance defense firm we had an opportunity to learn the tricks of the trade within the insurance industry. Sam excelled as a student in that arena and is now able to take the lessons learned from negotiating hundreds of cases as an insurance defense attorney and apply those lessons for the benefit of our clients. When it comes to negotiations and resolving personal injury claims Sam is among the best of the best. Sam is also a very talented criminal defense attorney, having been mentored by a nationally prominent DUI attorney in Arizona. He's quick on his feet in trial and it is amazing to watch him in action."
