This firm provided some great information that I think almost anyone who has been in an accident could benefit from. You still may need a lawyer like Paul to handle some of the specifics.

I've had to attain the services of Attorney Samakow on two separate occasions, and both times I received outstanding customer service. He took the time to clearly explain each step of the legal process, which really helped put me at ease. His professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to his clients truly stand out. I highly recommend Attorney Samakow and his legal team to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and trustworthy motor vehicle accident attorney.

Let me give you a honest review. This guy is the best lawyer you can get. All the other reviews are from people who got greedy and wanted a robust amount of money. First off, be thankful that you’re alive and breathing. This man is so patient and answers every message and his paralegals are also diligent and answer every question. Feel free to ask any questions. No question is a silly question. I waited 7 months for my settlement and it was worth the wait. Mr. Paul is the best lawyer out here and will get you the most you can get.

Paul and I worked on a burn case together. I was impressed with his knowledge in that area and the effort he put into the case. If you were a burn victim he is your attorney!
