Satisfied and thankful client

Sam and his team were highly competent in addressing my motorcycle accident case, aggressively asserting my position and injury claims, resulting in a 100% full payout. His extreme patience with my own somewhat erratic response times, along with his timely responses and communication of the progressi...on of the case is much appreciated. Will definitely be in contact with any future legal matters.

This was something I never wished to experience and their guidance was what helped me successfully manage my care. I cannot express fully my gratitude for their help. The process was clear, efficient, an...d effective. I appreciate all of their help.

Settled claim

Sam helped us to settle an insurance claim for daughter resulting from an injury she received as a young child. He kept her best interest as the focus and made sure she received a fair settlement. We appreciated the clear explanations of steps we needed to take and prompt response to questions we h...ad along the way.

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!

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.
