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.

"John Samore does not do whats right, he instigates divorce by making his clients angry to fight and not resolve issues, he also lacks knowledge in "the care and well being of Children". I would not recommend if you want someone who is honest."

"He was my attorney back in 2012 and worked on my case till he got a very low sentence. What started at over 14 years ended with 5 years. Kept my family informed the whole time and made frequent visits. Was open to all suggestions and would go over my discovery and would motion the court on many discrepancies. It’s May, 2019 and wanted to add a update: I contacted Mr Samore and asked if he would asks the court if I could get off probation early. He contacted both my Probation officer and the Assistant District Attorney and was told they were both unopposed so he filed a motion to Terminate my supervised probation. He filed electronically and I’m sure his reputation helped and the motion was granted. He’s the best, thank you."
