Sam Masters is undeniably an outstanding Personal Injury Attorney in Daytona Beach. My journey with Sam Masters began after a car accident that occurred over two years ago. At that time, I had initially intended to handle my dealings with the insurance company on my own. However, as the gravity of my injuries became apparent, I realized I needed legal assistance. My initial choice led me to a large law firm with prominent billboards around town, assuming that their visibility equated to quality service. Unfortunately, I found myself just another faceless client with little access to an attorney. My attempts to seek clarification on their contract went unanswered, which prompted me to search for an attorney who genuinely cared about my case. After reading numerous reviews, I came across Sam Masters. When I initially reached out to his office, I was informed that he was away at a conference. However, to my surprise, he personally returned my call within a few hours, taking the time to discuss my case for over 30 minutes. A few days later, during our in-person meeting, he patiently answered all my questions and concerns, assuring me of his continued availability for any future inquiries. Over the course of two years, he onsistently lived up to their promise of accessibility. He was responsive and kept me informed about the progress of my case. Working with him was a pleasure. He secured a settlement that far exceeded my initial expectations, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. He genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to ensure their well-being and the success of their cases. If you are in need of a personal injury attorney in Volusia County, he is undoubtedly the best choice.

Sam Masters is “The Master!” Sam Masters Legal is the absolute BEST Law Firm. Sam has lived in the area for a VERY long time, so he knows how things “work” in the Daytona/Volusia County area. No one wants to be involved in a legal dispute, but Sam Masters and his staff will work extremely hard for you. He has no need to advertise on television, because word-of-mouth alone keeps potential clients calling. Whether you’re a full-time resident, here for bi-yearly “Bike Week,” or you’re a “Snowbird,” you won’t be disappointed if you call Sam Masters Legal. I wasn’t!

Biography

I'm a lifetime resident of the greater Daytona Beach area. I have also practiced my entire legal career, spanning more than 35 years, in Volusia County, Florida. Many clients have never been arrested or exposed to the criminal justice system. As a criminal defense lawyer, it is important for the clients to understand every step of the process and also trust that their attorney will work hard for them. My goal has always been to protect the rights and futures of my clients.
