Pros
1
Excellent legal expertise and knowledge of case law
“He has a wide knowledge of case law.”
2
Responsive and attentive to client needs
“He would respond to all texts and calls, even some that were very late in the day.”
3
Able to achieve favorable outcomes for clients
“He managed to 'convert' all 3 charges to reasonable control, so that I only paid a fine and got points on my licence.”
4
Builds strong rapport with courts and other attorneys
“I was impressed with the excellent rapport he had with clerks, other attorneys, and the judges.”
Cons
1
Potential issues with billing and transparency
“During an 8-year divorce (yes, eight years), Sam took several 'retainer fees' which amounted to NO ACTION, and never deducted payments, for doing NOTHING, previously paid.”
2
Concerns about prioritizing his own interests over clients
“When I met Sam at the coffee-shop below his office (I'm disabled and can't make steps), he looked through an envelope of papers I needed to sign, and said, 'I'm going to save this one until I get paid'.”
3
Possible lack of empathy and emotional support for clients
“If you're a woman looking for a divorce attorney, do NOT hire Samuel Wahib Basta.”
