About
I have always been a problem solver. Whether it’s with my family or my friends I’m the go to person when there’s a problem. My love of the law began in my social studies class in high school where I read the famous legal case Brown v. the Board of Education. I knew then that the law was the vehicle where I could help solve problems on a larger scale. “Sometimes history takes things into its own hands” (Justice Thurgood Marshall) and over two decades later I pursued my dream of being a lawyer graduating from the University of Florida Levin College of Law with honors cum laude.Upon graduation from law school I competed for, and was awarded the prestigous Equal Justice Works Fellowship. In conjunction with the Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County I created a program where I represented and assisted immigrant victims of domestic violence obtain restraining orders, gain legal status in the U.S. and represented them in divorce and child custody matters and personal injury issues relating to domestic violence. I went to trial on a substantial number of cases and it was here that I fell in love with trial work. My program was so successful that two years after its inception the U.S. Department of Justice adopted the project and provided me with additional grants and funding to expand the project.After leaving Legal Aid, my passion for helping other solve problems and my love of trial work led me to representing individuals accused of criminal offenses. As an attorney at the Office of Regional Counsel, I aggressively and successfully represented clients charged with everything from petty theft to murder. Here I really honed my jury trial skills and was successful in gaining victories of acquittals for many of my clients. In 2012, I proudly opened the doors to my own law firm. Every day I get to do what I enjoy doing the most -- that is helping my clients solve legal problems. Using my strong trial and negotiation background, I help clients charged with theft crimes, battery and assault crimes, sex crimes and clients injured in car accidents, slip & falls and wrongful death.

I contacted Trial Lawyers of the Palm Beaches after two cars collided in front of me and one of them came straight into me at about 45 miles an hour. I knew I was hurt, but I did not know how bad it was. Not only did I get the care I needed- but my goal was to come out of it not owing medical bills. I was stunned at what Samantha was able to do for me. My bills were completely covered and Sam achieved a settlement that was ELEVEN TIMES what the insurance company offered me! Not only were my medical needs addressed, there was plenty of money left over for me in the event future medical needs arise. I was full of fear and anxiety. Sam made the process easy, kept me informed, and achieved a result against a huge insurance company that I thought absolutely impossible. Maybe the lawyers on the billboards and tv are good, too. I felt I would get lost in the shuffle with a massive firm. With the Trial Lawyers, I got an amazing result, with personal, caring attention to my case. Never lost in the shuffle, Sam personally called me to give me updates, see how I was feeling, and let me know what she needed (documents, etc) to win. And win she did. I did not have to pay anything up front. Hiring the wrong lawyer can be a huge mistake. Calling Samantha was one of the best calls I've ever made. I strongly recommend her. She is an excellent personal injury attorney.
Samantha did every and anything for me. Any questions I had she answered. Anything I didn’t understand she was explained it for me in full detail. Helped me to stay calm and positive. She is the BEST!
Mrs. Vacciana is an amazing lawyer. She and her team were able to help me in my family case and a criminal case that I had. She did everything in her power to make sure that justice was served. Countless days and nights and kept the same upbeat attitude even when I thought the worse. If you want someone in your corner genuinely she’s the one to call.
Samantha's firm, Trial Lawyers of the Palm Beaches, is handling multiple legal matters for me. This review, therefore, is only as to Ms. Vacciana's role in my criminal case, where she played a very crucial role as co-counsel. Facing ten years in prison, and additional related legal matters, I had an extremely complex situation that required knowledge of a variety of areas of the law, including Family Law, negligence, Appeals, and medical malpractice. Successfully representing me in the criminal case required this diverse legal savvy since the issues were interrelated. I was facing ten years in prison and while there was never a prima facie case against me under the statute I was charged, in my opinion, proving that required highly complex discovery, aggressive and unrelenting pursuit of justice on my behalf and exceptional negotiation ability. Adding to the stress of my criminal case, family law matters were occurring in another case that placed my child in danger of great bodily harm. Samantha is a unique attorney in that she has a calming presence and uncanny ability to set realistic expectations for me as a client, while keeping me level-headed in the face of what appeared to be a hopeless and unmitigated disaster. However, her counsel and outcomes achieved proved to be spot-on. Having access to her understanding of the legal system gave me great peace of mind as the legal process took place. Sam's uniqueness is that she is a tremendously calming, caring and compassionate professional who placed her client's interests first. While possessing such compassionate qualities, I witnessed firsthand she is a fiercely aggressive litigator with an innate ability to deliver complex arguments before a court in an easy to understand and concise fashion that prevents crucial issues from being ignored. By my experience in the criminal case (and there are three other cases pending that I will not review until the outcomes are final), the outcome of my life and my child's life could have been catastrophic. I have Attorney Vacciana to thank for preventing that. Facing a maximum criminal sentence of ten years in prison, the plea before I terminated Sam's predecessor was 3 years in prison. Through relentless discovery that helped to exonerate me and expert negotiation ability, Ms. Vacciana played a crucial role in achieving a plea that was a class 2 misdemeanor. In the end, it was time served, no felony conviction, six months of probation, and my right to vote, be a Dad, and be gainfully employed have all been preserved. I thank God that he gave me the wisdom to hire this lawyer and I thank God Sam is in my life. Over the course of my case, it also became very clear that she is highly regarded in the legal community and appears to be very well respected by her colleagues. If my experience with the ethical, dedicated, and aggressive approach to the practice of law is any indication, it comes as no surprise she appears to be so well respected by her colleagues. My case was extremely complex. Whether you are facing a highly complex case such as mine, or a more typical legal matter, I would not hesitate for a second to strongly recommend this principled, compassionate, and aggressive litigator to be your advocate in the Courtroom. Her work is exceptional.
Samantha (Co-counsel), picked up my family law case less than three weeks to the hearing. Samantha and Angie, WON the entire case!!! Samantha's cross defense of the witness on stand was dynamic. OUTSTANDING REPRESENTATION!!!!!! They, explain legal jargon to their clients, maps out the entire case, and prepares their clients for the hearing. These two attorneys needs to be on a board to weed out HORRIBLE attorneys in Palm Beach County. I felt my children future was in the best hands and I could finally sleep at night knowing these attorneys was on the job 24 hours a day. I will be eternally grateful to this two attorneys forever... AMEN!!! Once again thank you, thank you thank you...... Shantey
