Sam did a wonderful job! Gave him information about my sons real father, he and his team went right to work getting everything lined up to quickly take care of this matter! He was always returning emails or phone calls if I had questions or needed help with anything. It was him and his team that made this my first and easiest case in court! From the bottom of our hearts Sam is highly recommended or anyone going through this process!!! We thank you so much Sam for making my sons and our dreams come true!!!

Our case involved a sub-contractor's negligent job of laying a foundation for our home. He was supposed to have been overseen by a site manager employed by a religious colony that builds houses at their colony and then has the houses trucked to the homeowner's site and placed on the foundation. Mr. Krystosek, who was a new lawyer with his firm, was conscientious, hard-working, and very professional at all times. He set up a deposition with the other lawyers, one of whom was a very well-dressed bully. Mr. Krystosek was always business-like, professional, and ethical. During the depositions, one of the other lawyers tried to trick my husband and me with a document neither of us had seen before and that we believed was a fake document; Mr. Krystosek did not challenge the lawyer about that document. But he DID check out the sub-contractor's claim of certification immediately after the deposition and find that the man had never been certified as he claimed. Our big regret in all this is that we didn't consult with Mr. Krystosek and his firm prior to signing a contract with the builders. But we were able to get out of the contract during negotiations after the depositions, so our loss was more limited then it might have been.
