Best Lawyer Ever!!

Mrs Sammis previously represented me in a restraing order case. She was great very prepared very honest and not only got a dismissal but was so effective the judge gave an 8 page ruling explaining how it was filed fraudulently and it was done to blackmail me. My divorce lawyer as most are only co...ncerned with running my bill up and dragging things out. Mrs Sammis took over my case that had drug on for two years and was able to complete my case in 6 months. All rulings against my x and handled my divorce more effectively and receiving an outcome numerous lawyers told me I couldn't. She is the best. Worth every Pennie. I have felt with several lawyers in my life and never meet a lawyer that showed true concern. If there was an 11 as a rating she deserves it. Her staff is extrmely professional and all involved were extremely patient with me as I had suffered severe injuries in Iraq making simple things very difficult. My doors will always be open to the Sammis family and I am honored to have had the pleasure to have been represented by one of the best. Thank you Leslie

Avoided Jail

After picking my son up from daycare, I was involved in an accident with my toddler son. Not knowing that the person called the cops, I had already left the scene. The officer had called me and told me that my license was suspended and that I need to come down to the station to be arrested on the spo...t for driving while license suspended. It was past 6:00 p.m. and no other attorney's office was open or called me back. Leslie called me back right away and listened to my case and calmed me down. She took the officer's name and number and contacted him. The officer wanted to charge me with a felony and have me arrested that night. Leslie spoke to the officer and explained my situation and background and got him talked into only charging me with a traffic citation. Leslie called me back several times giving me updates on her conversations with the officer and corresponded with me via her personal cell phone up until 10:00 pm. that night. She advised me on what to do and say and what to say when I went to the station that night to pick up the tickets. The next day, I emailed Leslie a copy of the citations and my driving records and she quickly prepared the Motion to Set Aside the suspension and filed the paperwork to fight the other two tickets. Leslie has been working diligently to get the suspension off my record and getting my license reinstated so that I can drive myself and my son once again.

Criminal defense lawyer | Dec 15

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Leslie and I worked together for several years in Atlanta. She was an awesome attorney who worked extremely hard to get great results for her clients. Leslie was a former public defender, who was used to handling difficult cases. Whenever I gave her a tough case to work on, she always got incredible results. She is unafraid of being in court. I have had numerous prosecutors ask me about her, because her tenacity forced them to make a deal that they were not initially willing to make. If you are charged with a crime, she is going to fight for you. I miss having her in our office in Atlanta. You cannot go wrong having Leslie on your side."

William Head

DUI and DWI lawyer | Oct 21

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"When Leslie was waiting for her Georgia Bar results in 2001, she applied for a job at my office. After learning that she had started her practice as an attorney in Florida with the public defender's office, I knew I had found someone who knew how to approach difficult criminal cases. She was definitely a winner in every category. Leslie helped me write several of the very best appellate briefs of my career, and her research and writing skills helped me win some tough appeals. Later, once she passed the Georgia Bar, our firm hired her as an associate. In short order, she was running a newly created divorce division that we opened, and did a great job for us. Her husband (also an attorney) was offered a great partnership opportunity in Florida, and they moved south. Leslie is extremely capable and very dedicated to winning. Her clients will always be well-represented with her assisting them."
