Great attorney for our injury claims

Sam Fogerty was recommended to us by a business associate a few weeks after we were released from the hospital(s) after a very bad injury accident that left me in a wheelchair for months and my husband with several broken bones. Our daughter was caring for both of us, and none of us had a clue what t...o do as the medical bills piled up. Imagine our relief when we met Sam, and he said "let me worry about these bills" and we handed the entire stack to him! His assistant, Candice, is also wonderful, very competent and kept us well informed. Throughout our life changing ordeal, Sam's kindness, caring and friendship reduced the stress in our life tremendously. Sam is thorough, and very competent. I highly recommend Sam Fogerty as an attorney of the highest standards and ability. My family and I will forever be grateful to Sam for a very good settlement. Thank you Sam Fogerty, you are the best!

Fabulous Attorney!

I have worked with Sam on two different legal cases. One involved child custody and one involved automotible accident/injury. Sam is professional, friendly, responsive and keeps you infomed of the status as well as outlining the process and next steps. Throughout the process I felt Sam had my best... interest as the utmost priority and fought for me like he would his own relative.

Satisfied Personal Injury Client

I was in a car accident about a year and a half ago. Sam helped me settle my property damage quickly. The insurance company was trying to jerk me around and would not work me with. Within days of hiring Sam, I had a check in hand for my car. Sam is very knowledgeable in personal injury claims. H...e turned a stressful situation into something positive. I ended up getting a larger settlement than I expected. I have worked with other attorneys in the past that "tell you what you want to hear" and only bring disappointment when your case is done. Sam was honest with me from start to finish. He his a great attorney that I will continue to use in the future.

Horrible Service

My daughter was shot accidentally and we were given Sam's name on a recommendation from a friend. We met with Sam, he explained the ins and outs to us and told us he would get information from the insurance company and get back to us (my daughter mainly). After that, he all but disappeared. The la...ck of communication, empathy or trying to get him to return calls in a timely manner is unprofessional at any level. We found out that (at least from what he is telling us) that he can't help us and there is no avenue for the insurance company. That is fine, but it would have been better to just sit us down and let us know that.....not send us a letter without a phone call or meeting. I would never recommend this attorney for anything to anybody.
