Law Office of Sam D. Scholar

I could not recommend Sam due to his lack of care and high rates for minimal amount of work and effort put into my case.

He accepted my case to help me file for divorce and was very nice and helpful during our initial consultation. When it was the day to file, he was in meetings all day and could not talk. He originally sent me a document with someone else's name on it. He never addressed this when I informed him. The notary caught the mistake. He did not have any other documents ready when I expected and said it would take several days to make them. I ended up just doing it myself with my ex and everything turned into the courts in several hours.

When I informed Sam I would like to go another route and to have a refund, he hung up in my face. He did mail me a check. Super unprofessional, rude, and made this process so much more stressful than it needed to be.

Thanks, Sam for helping my mother in a time of need. We appreciate you.

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. Mr. Scholar called me at 9:39am and I immediately offered my sincere apologies, asked if we could stop by at his convenience, and offered to jump in our vehicle immediately and be at his office ASAP (roughly 5 minute away from our house), which would have resulted in roughly a 15 minutes delayed time from our initial appointment, all to which he stated would not work and proceeded to inform me how he had changed his out of town plans for us to sign the will, and was at a "loss for words" (paraphrasing). I once again offered my sincere apologies, and he continued to speak demeaning and ended the call with a very sarcastic "I'm sorry as well" (referencing us making the appointment) before hanging up on me. I do not believe anyone (especially a customer) should be spoken to like this, and am appalled that a professional (let along someone with a law degree) would do so. My wife and I will be losing out on the initial $300, and moving our business elsewhere for estate planning. This is just our experience, but will definitely not utilize Mr. Scholar's services again nor recommend him to any of our contacts.
