Estate Planning and Trust Administration with a Personal Touch

Samantha Reichle brings a thoughtful and personalized approach to her estate planning and trust administration practice at Strauss Attorneys, PLLC in Raleigh. Working from the firm's Glenwood Avenue office, she focuses on estate planning, trust administration, and fiduciary income tax matters, with a particular talent for making complex estate planning discussions more approachable for her clients.

A distinguished graduate of Duke University School of Law, Samantha's academic excellence was evident early in her career. During her time at Duke, she was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa and served as an Articles Editor for the Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy. Her undergraduate years at UNC Chapel Hill were equally impressive, where she earned her B.A. in 2010 and received the prestigious UNC Chancellor's McNally Award for Excellence in Geography.

Samantha's legal career began at TrustCounsel, a boutique estate planning firm in Chapel Hill, where she developed experience in trust-based estate planning. She later joined the Forrest Firm as part of Cory Howes' Trusts and Estates practice group before transitioning to Strauss Attorneys in 2021, where she continues to work with Cory in the Raleigh office.

Estate Planning with Depth, Detail, and Personality

Her professional affiliations reflect her commitment to excellence in estate planning, including memberships in WealthCounsel, LLC, the Mid-South Forum, the 10th Judicial District Bar, and the Wake County Bar Association. These connections help her stay at the forefront of estate planning developments and best practices.

Though her early years were split between New Jersey and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Samantha has called North Carolina home for over 15 years, developing deep roots in the Tar Heel state. Outside of her legal practice, she pursues unique interests that reflect her fascination with history and science, including curating a personal collection of medical antiquities and taxidermy with her husband. As a music enthusiast, she can often be found in the front row at concerts, pursuing her passion for live performances.
