Attorney Information

Overview

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 through 2024.

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.
