Sam has handled hundreds of criminal cases across North Georgia, including jury trials and asset forfeitures. Notable results include helping obtain dismissal of witness-tampering charges against a private investigator in connection with State v. Tonya Craft (2010), securing dismissal of drug charges and recovery of a wrongfully seized vehicle (2011), and negotiating an armed-robbery case down to a lesser offense resulting in a three-month jail sentence while a co-defendant received a 55-year sentence (2012). In his last three criminal trials, his clients were acquitted.
He is active in the community and bar leadership, currently serving as President of the Dalton Education Foundation. He has also served on the Public Defender’s Supervisory Panel, as President of the Conasauga Bar Association, and in multiple local leadership and board roles, including with the Dalton-Whitfield Daycare Center and the Dalton-Whitfield Hospital Authority, and as a regional coordinator for the Dalton-area High School Mock Trial Competition.
