Sam handled an estate case in for me. I found him to be very professional with a understanding of the bottom line. He considers your finances and doesn't drag the case, instead he pushes to get it done in a timely manner. I recommend Sam to anyone who is looking for an honest, knowledgeable and professional lawyer.

My wife and I hired Mr. Scholar with the intent of estate planning purposes (creating our will). Mr. Scholar charges an initial up front fee of $300, then an additional $300 once the will is complete. The process went relatively smooth until the day we were supposed to stop in to sign the will (made an appointment for 9:30am on August 06, 2021). Prior to the appointment I notified Mr. Scholar that my wife was very pregnant, but we wanted to get this done so we proceeded forward. On the day of the appointment my wife and I had meetings and the appointment ultimately slipped our minds, 100% our fault

I do not recommend hiring Sam Scholar as your lawyer. He lacks empathy and understanding. Mr. Scholar made me feel worse after consulting with him. He did nothing to help me besides antagonizing me. My recommendation to Mr. Scholar is to be aware of who you are talking to. Never assume things about people, because you never know who you might be talking to on the phone. Care more about others so you will receive better reviews.

Sam Scholar was my attorney for a custody issue recently. While we did not receive everything I was asking for, he was able to help mice have my case heard justly, and changes in circumstances acknowledged and added to my divorce decree. Sam is very professional and capable and sympathetic to his clients.

I hired Mr. Scholar for a family matter. Unfortunately, discussing his own family was more important to him than my case during billable time. He is a nice man, however, if you need someone to fight for you and defend you, I would not recommend him. After hiring him and working with him, I had to terminate our relationship and hire another attorney to repair the damage and help me fix the situation. Basically,I threw my money out the window and had to start again. Awful experience, one of the two worst in my life.
