Kept me informed, was friendly (to me) but cutthroat when he needed to be

Jeremy was a pleasure to work with. He explained to me what was happening with my unemployment case throughout the process and made sure I was prepped for my hearing. I realized throughout the case that I could have easily lost the case because of my own lack of knowledge, had I not hired this firm... to represent me. I felt comfortable working with him and he answered all of my questions. I think this guy must work around the clock; he took my calls at what seems like all hours of the early morning and evening. I would highly recommend this law firm and specifically Jeremy Samuels. They really know what they're doing!

Happy Ending!

Jeremy was very friendly and easy to work with. He took the stress out of my unemployment case by knowing the law and keeping in contact when he needed to. I was prepped and confident when my hearing day came and very pleased when we won the case! Their firm charged a fair price too, I feel it was mo...ney well spent.

Fantastic!!

My husband and I did not know what to do. He was denied unemployment, we appealed and it was denied again. We felt that he deserved the unemployment, because the reason he was fired was not for "just cause". So, I looked up attorney's. I found Sivinsky & Smith. We dealt with Jeremy. He was great.! We... did not know what to do to get a court hearing or what to say once in court. Jeremy was very thorough, informative, knowledgeable and fast. He handled our case very well. We are very happy with the outcome. We won our case and now are receiving unemployment. Which is really good considering we have a mortgage, two car payments and bills to pay for. I would highly recommend Sivinsky & Smith to anyone I know that has a problem with unemployment. Thank you so much for all your hard work, your company was worth every penny. :) (btw, something is wrong with this page, because I tried to give this company 5 stars for excellant and it would not let me, so had to choose 4 stars)

The best results I could have asked for

I hired Jeremy for a DUI. He explained everything in detail and I knew up front what to expect in a situation in which I had no knowledge about. I dont know exactly what it was that he was able to do, but he found a way to get my DUI charge reduced to a reckless op. Jeremy spent a lot of time expl...aining to me the details and effort he was putting into the case, which made me feel I could trust he was doing everything possible to help me out. He definitely did help me out and I was thrilled the charges were reduced. I am very glad I hired an attorney that actually put a lot of time and effort into my case, especially since it seemed to be a little bit of a lower flat fee compared to some other places I checked in to. Thank you Jeremy.

Don't Waste Your Time/Money on Jeremy Samuels

I hired Jeremy Samuels to represent me for a DUI charge, the first criminal charge of my life. He consistently failed to return my calls, showed up late multiple times for court hearings (which doesn't exactly give one a favorable impression to the judge), and left most of the communication to his se...cretary, Jamie. Per his recommendation, I decided to plea down to a lesser charge, even though my BAC was never tested (not at the scene or in jail). He said we had very little chance of success should we go to trial, and seemed much more concerned with wrapping the case up as quickly as possible (presumably to get to other, higher paying cases). When speaking to the judge directly, Jeremy wasn't articulate. He stuttered and carried himself like one would expect from an inexperienced, unfocused attorney. Several months later, when I needed clarification on a few things related to the case, he never returned my calls/emails. I left messages with Jamie and called everyday for three weeks, never getting an answer other than "Jeremy's very busy, I left him a message with your concerns and he should get back to you." Jeremy Samuels DOES NOT put it in even the most minimal amount of effort and care one would expect when hiring an attorney with their hard-earned money. AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS.

"I have had the opportunity to consult on cases with Jeremy, and I can verify that he is diligent, intelligent, and persistent. He truly analyzes each case and fact pattern I've spoken with him about, and tries to find the best solution for his clients. Some attorneys will only look at an assigned case for fifteen minutes before going to trial, Jeremy spends significant time on each. Having witnessed his diligence and work ethic, I recommend Jeremy."

He represented a tenant being sued and was so successful that he actually negotiated a settlement where the tenant received money from the landlord."
