Samuel J Wright

Sam Wright began his career after college, however, the work was less than challenging. Sam then returned to the academic setting to seek, perhaps, a more inspired daily discipline. The study of the law became the stimulation Sam was seeking. Consequently, Sam received a law degree from Southern Illinois University in 2005 and joined the firm of Denton & Keuler in 2007. 

The challenge that was missing is now very much a reality. Sam is continuously engaged in legal representation in a variety of areas of the law.  Sam is involved in both litigation and general representation of small businesses throughout the region. His ability to step back and analyze the effect his legal representation has on his clients provides a unique approach to legal representation. And, to that end, Sam is always up to par.

 


  Sam also enjoys striving for par on the many golf courses that surround his hometown of Paducah, Kentucky. The same drive, focus and attention to detail that is necessary in preparing litigation, is equally vital to scoring effectively on the links.

“When it comes to legal representation, I try to take a different approach than, perhaps, my predecessors. I look deeper, beyond the day-to-day general legal representation to a broader understanding of the effect my representation might have on the the business as a whole. I think it's important for us to look at the process as well as the end result of representation so we can achieve the most profitable outcome in every situation. ”                                                                                                             -Sam Wright
