Difficult Time

Sam helped us thru a difficult time in our life . We could have not found a more caring and compassionate human being and still staying professional ,he was always there when we had questions and always kept us informed from start to finish. I would recommend him highly.

could not have picked a better attorney

After my accident it was very difficult trying to deal with insurance, medical bills, rehab etc. I had never been through anything like this which was extremely frustrating. After securing Sam as my attorney, everything changed. He was ALWAYS there whenever I had a question. He and his staff alw...ays took their time and always called me back immediately (and believe me, I called a lot. I could not possibly handled this without him. He handled the insurance companies, got the all the medical bills off my back plus had them all reduced. He was excellent with depositions and pulled the truth out of people who were trying to put the blame on me. The insurance company had several attorneys and fought to the bitter end. Sam never backed down and he got me the settlement he promised. THANKS AGAIN SAM! Mark

Accident

Great lawyer, I would and do recommend Sam Bolotin to anyone I know. Very caring and friendly, I was always informed of everything going on. His staff were great and all of them knowledgeable. Mr. Bolotin fought very hard for me and I can't thank him enough for that. If you need a lawyer, don't hesit...ate to call Mr. Bolotin.

Linda , clients wife

My husband was a passenger in a truck that was t-boned that left him with a broken sternum, multiple broken ribs, needing surgery on his left knee, right elbow, left cheek bone and multiple lacerations. He was lucky to be alive. Sam Bolotin handled our case with professionalism. He got all of our med...ical bills paid and a substantial settlement. He even came to our house when my husband couldn't travel because of his injuries. I would recommend him to anyone to represent them in a such a case.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
