About

    For almost thirty years, John Samore has emphasized professional competence and personal service.  After ten years in a general law, Mr. Samore  focused his practice almost entirely on two challenging areas: families in crisis and defending persons accused of criminal conduct.     Mr. Samore acquired his appreciation for the law from his father, Edward, who practiced 57 years.  Both gentlemen  graduated from the University of Iowa College of Law.  Admitted to practice in New Mexico in 1989, John Samore has effectively represented almost 1000 accused of criminal conduct and handled 300 family law matters, including divorce, child custody, child support, and time-sharing.  As with any of the state's best attorneys, his clients have found successful results at the trial, pre-trial, and appellate levels.  He believes a case is built by personally working closely with each client.  Respect for the personal struggle of the entire families is always a paramount concern     Mr. Samore has served as  member or officer of many recognized professional organizations including the Medical Review Panel, New Mexico Criminal Defense Attorney Association, and the state bar.  He twice served terms as Chair of the Medical Review Panel, New Mexico Criminal Defense Attorney Association, Professionalism Committee for nine years, and Fee Arbitration Committee for sixteen years.  He has his Masters Degree in Business Labor Law and J. D. from University of Iowa in 1980 and was admitted to United States Supreme Court 1981, New Mexico Bar 1989.  Mr. Samore has spoken to professional organizations on various matters including trial practice, minority representation, and defending DWI.

John has helped us with dwi and family law cases. You can always reach John, unlike big law firms. He remembers details of your history, is very knowledgeable, and I trust him explicably in all manners. He also has recommended other lawyers for legal matters which he doesn't handle. If he trusts them, then I trust them.

Mr. Samore did so much for my case, I can't even express how much he helped my son and I. Without going into details of my case, I will say that this attorney helped to get my son out of a dangerous situation and in so doing, saved his life. Mr. Samore became so involved with my case through the course of 4+ years that he worked on my case. He is the type of attorney that I can call and hear back from him within a few hours. This is not the case with attorneys who work in large firms, where there is a sea of red tape to get through, to just leave a message. If you need an attorney who will actually pay attention to your case and knows you and the details of your case, this is the attorney for you. He doesn't pull any punches and is very experienced. I would absolutely recommend this attorney to friends and family. In fact, I already have. I walked into his office in 2008, not knowing the journey that we would find ourselves going through together. It is now 2015, and I am happy to call Mr. Samore a family friend. It was good having a great attorney and a great person by my side through the tears, and the victories. My case was a really rough one and looking back, I can't imagine going through it all with another attorney. A big huge thank you to Mr. John Samore for being a top notch attorney and such a great person!

I am a digital forensic examiner and worked with Mr. Samore on a case. Mr. Samore was always professional and very easy to talk with. He explained legal concepts in a way that the non-legal mind could follow, he was very passionate about his work and he asked great questions about the forensics in this case and was eager to learn. I would highly recommend Mr. Samore and would not hesitate to use him myself for legal matters.
