Hire this Firm!

My young son was on vacation when he got into a bit of legal trouble. He was 3,000miles from home and alone. We knew no one in the area. By chance I was able to look up Ramirez & Walker and I cold called on a Saturday afternoon. Sam Ramirez answered his phone and took my case without question. He had... one of his associates visit my son that afternoon to pass on that he was not alone and someone was watching his back. Within 48 hours, not only was my son on his way home, but his legal troubles had been resolved. Sam made sure all his transportation and lodging was taken care of and took personal care of my son, a complete stranger to Sam, until he was on the plane home. I, like many parents, would have spared no expense to get my son home but Sam and his firm charged me a fairly low and unbelievably fair fee. I would give my strongest personal recommendation to anyone who needs legal assistance to hire Sam Ramirez or any of his associates at Ramirez & Walker.

The Perfect Attorney

Faced with 30 days jail time and a DUI charge I contacted Sam Ramirez for help, I couldn't be happier that I did. I walked away from the dilemma with zero jail time and no DUI conviction. Sam is a highly competent attorney who carries himself with professionalism while always bearing your best inte...rest in mind. Sam is definitely the right person to call when you're in trouble with the law. I recommend anyone who is in a legal predicament to contact him because you'll be more than satisfied with the outcome.

the best defense in the Northwest no contest!!!

Sam Ramirez is hands down the best criminal defense attorney money can buy! I came to Sam facing 3 serious felony charges one of which carried 5 years in prison by itself. The future was grim for me to say the least. With Mr. Ramirez 's expert legal knowledge, attention to detail, and flawless exe...cution we were able to walk away from what could have become a monster case with a GROSS MISDEMEANOR!!! My future was in his hands and he delivered big time! It is for this reason that I would suggest thinking twice before looking elsewhere for the highest quality legal represention. Sam is accessible, straightforward, and most of all real! If you've had any experience in the legal field you'll know why these qualities are hard to find. For these reasons he has my highest recommendation and believe me it is money well spent!

DV 4 Case

I recently had a situation that required a criminal counselor. Samuel Ramirez agreed to take my case. I was in great distress over the situation and he counseled away my fears in our first encounter. Sam laid out his plan of resolution for myself and explained how he would pursue my wishes for re...solution of my situation. His knowledge was expressed of the court system to my satisfaction exceedingly. Sam pursued my situation exactly as he had discribed, he had planned it. His knowledge, his staff and fellow counselors, resolved my fears and situation. Sam's professionalism and follow up was thorough . Upon resolution of my situation, he and his staff assisted one of my family members through a situation to completion with excellent and expeditious resultes. Sam's fees were appropriate as I contacted several other counselors and disused their fees. Sam's services were refered to myself.by a lifelong friend. Sam and his staff resolved with a resolution that my friend and Sam had devised. My friend also was able to return to his very good employment. I am exceedingly satisfied with Samuel Ramirez services and recommend his services to my friends, family and anyone desiring Excellent and Expeditious representation at a reasonable rate. Thank you Sam.

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."
