Very evenly tempered and patient. I have known this firm for over 25 years. Robin Wick, Esq. is an exceptional attorney, only hiring the most competent and trustworthy. If Mr. Wick has confidence regarding Mr. Samelson's abilities, you better believe I have as well. I am extremely pleased with Mr. Samelson's professionalism and interest in handling my legal matters.
Michael is a wonderful person , he answers calls on time or gets back to you as soon as possible , he has documents on time , at the office all staff is very profecional , I took my granfather to get documents signd and notarized , due to him being unable to go in the office because of the stairs , Michael and his team made the signing of documents out the office in our car , that was a very wonderful gesture of him and the Team !!! I recommend this law firm and specially Michael to work on anyone that needs Legal Help!!!
Mr. Samelson was very knowledgeable, accommodating, professional and explained everything I needed to know about my unique situation with an updated will and power of attorney. The process of filling out all the forms and questionnaire seemed time-consuming and inconvenient at first, but it all came together with the completion of all the legal paperwork involved in my situation. It seemed a bit expensive in my opinion in the beginning, however, after everything was completed to my satisfaction it was worth the cost to have peace of mind knowing how my estate will be taken care of if I become incapacitated or pass away. I will use Mr. Samelson and this firm again in the future if needed.
Michael was accessible, professional, responsive and quick to turn around necessary revisions to our estate documents. Highly recommend!
I retained Mr. Samelson as a defendant in a civil litigation in 2018. Mr. Samelson failed to advocate for his client, and did not promote an initial case strategy that would counter groundless allegations made by the opposing party. Rather than take deliberate steps to contain malicious claims, Samelson allowed the opposing counsel to fabricate allegations and did not step up to minimize the harm done with these frivolous claims. In my case, Samelson expanded the litigation by filing claims against a third party and undermined the ability to resolve what should have been a straight-forward judicial process. Samelson's missteps resulted in a litigation quagmire, now running in its fourth year. Although Mr. Samelson was replaced as my attorney by 2019, the damage was done. A competent attorney would have effectively resolved this case in less than a year. I don't need to mention how much this case has cost my family. I do not recommend Michael Samelson as counsel for civil litigation.
Did nothing which made it easy for him to walk away . Wants to be in charge but never applies himself , leaves clients open for more suits
