Attorney Tony Naro Owner of Naro Law, PLLC

I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Sam Lacer for over a decade. As a criminal defense attorney based in Nashua, I have relied on Sam’s investigative expertise in some of my most challenging cases, including those involving homicide, felony assault, sexual assault, domestic violence, and serious drug charges. Sam’s investigative work is thorough, insightful, and consistently outstanding. She approaches each case with professionalism, determination, and a sharp eye for the details that can make all the difference. Beyond traditional investigative work, Sam has also produced compelling sentencing mitigation packages that have had a real and meaningful impact on the outcomes of my cases. Most importantly, Sam cares about my clients and is as invested in the outcome of their case as I am. Sam is a true professional who has earned my complete trust and highest recommendation. If you need a private investigator who is experienced, passionate, and truly committed to her work, Sam Lacer is the person to call.

Attorney Amanda Henderson Former New Hampshire Public Defender

I couldn’t recommend Sam Lacer highly enough as an investigator. No case is too big or too small for Sam to dedicate her time and attention to detail. She is thoughtful and intentional in her approach to dealing with different cases and different clients. Sam has the ability to be straightforward when she needs to be, while still showing compassion and empathy to clients, witnesses, and her colleagues. In the seven years we worked together, I relied on Sam heavily when I needed investigative support. Whether it was trying to track down decade-old records, locate and interview witnesses, or help me digest discovery, Sam was always quick to respond, communicative, and reliable.

Attorney Emily Roberts Former New Hampshire Public Defender

I worked with Samantha as a new lawyer many moons ago. Even though she was fairly new herself, she stood out with her initiative, confidence, and organization. She never settled to simply wait to be told what to do. She took it upon herself to understand the goal and figure out creative ways to help achieve that goal. She was the absolute best team player - in that she could handle her own but helped everyone else along the way. Samantha is proactive, organized, and communicative. She is a creative thinker and will be able to assist you in not only executing what you need done but coming up with a great plan. She has the experience and passion to be the best of the best! 10/10
