Biography

Distinguished as a named partner and elected firm president by age 35, Sam's trademark work ethic and exceptional problem-solving are indicative of his success. Sam has been repeatedly honored as a top real estate and business trial lawyer by San Jose Magazine, as well as inducted into the Million Advocates Forum. He has also received the distinction of Northern California "Super Lawyer" from San Francisco Magazine each year from 2004 to the present.

Although based in Santa Clara County, Sam's practice extends throughout the state, where he has negotiated the sale of a multi-million dollar agricultural business in San Benito County and represented a state court-appointed receiver in the dissolution of a wine business in San Francisco County. In 2013, he successfully represented a plaintiff seeking a multi-million dollar award in a multi-week jury trial in Monterey, California.

Furthermore, in California at large, Sam has defended a professional NFL quarterback in San Diego Superior Court, resolved a multi-million-dollar partnership dispute in Malibu, and counseled clients regarding the acquisition and development of properties in the greater Palm Springs area.
