Samantha Adams was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. Upon graduating Concord-Carlisle High School, she decided to attend an HBCU, which lead her to getting her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice from Clark Atlanta University. Upon graduating, she enrolled in an accelerated Legal Studies Program with the University of Georgia to obtain her Paralegal Certificate. After working for a number of years as a Paralegal in various areas of law which include Criminal Law, Residential and REO Real Estate, and even in Network Real Estate with AT&T, she made the leap to attend law school.

Samantha then moved to Tampa, Florida where she attended Western Michigan University - Thomas M. Cooley Law School at the Tampa Bay Campus. While there, she remained involved by participating on the Mock Trial Team, the Moot Court Board, and was a co-founder of the campus Sports Entertainment Law Society.

During her last semester, she went to New York City and completed her Externship with the New York State Division of Human Rights, and was then selected as the Valedictory Speaker to her graduating law school class. Upon graduating, Samantha moved back to Atlanta. Prior to being admitted to the Georgia Bar in June 2020, she worked in various roles for HomeServices of Georgia, Perry Law Group, Nelson Mullins, Alston & Bird, Troutman Saunders, and Dryer Sterling, where she has shown a strong commitment to helping serve those in need.

Samantha comes from a large family and enjoys spending time with them, her friends and her dog, traveling, listening to music, reading, and occasionally, when inspired, writing poetry.
