About Carl
Biography
I am willing and eager to fight City Hall. I have never liked representing the party with the most resources - what fun is there in fighting a battle you are almost guaranteed to win? I get great satisfaction out of disabusing government lawyers of their usual self-righteous grandeur.
I grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania, but have lived in Tucson since I moved here for law school in 2003. I love the desert and have made it my home. I care about what happens in my community, and my practice is geared towards helping people to use their property in a way that advances our common best interest. I find the people in the community keep its best interests better than government officials.
I have always been immersed in real estate - my father is a successful real estate appraiser in Pennsylvania. Little did I know that all of those little detours from tennis practice to "just take a look at a property or two" would become the foundation for a great love of the work that I do.

Real Estate/Land Issues
Carl Sammartino effectively worked to solve our real estate issue. We tried to deal with this problem ourselves but were unable to do so. After hiring Mr. Sammartino he quickly took over and it was soon resolved.
