"If the matter in question is related to Employment Law, the experience and knowledge of Russ Samson will provide the right answer and a quick resolution. "

Ann Wiedenfeld, First Federal Savings Bank, West Des Moines

"I have never met an attorney like Russ Samson. Like most attorneys, Russ knows the legal system very well. Where he exceeds others is his willingness to push the limit and protect our company's assets. Russ is the best and will always be the first person I call when I have legal questions."

Dave Maxheimer, Hagie Manufacturing Co., West Clarion

"Mr. Russell Samson always amazes me with his knowledge, explanation, and follow-up. We have discussed a wide array of issues with Mr. Samson and have always been extremely pleased with his assistance. I am always in awe of the fact that 99.9% of the time I pick up the phone and call his office he answers on the first ring!"

"An early employer of mine was utilizing Russ Samson as an employment law attorney before I was hired. My experience with him established a high level of expectation. My current employer was new to this market and when asked, I recommended my current employer to Mr. Samson. Russ is a professional who works hard for his employment law clients, readily provides guidance, and annually hosts an employment law seminar. Russ Samson also assists non-profit organizations with his usual high level of service. My human resource peers who work with Russ will echo these sentiments."

Ann Wiedenfeld, First Federal Savings Bank, West Des Moines
