Expertedly handled my DUI

Earlier this year I was arrested for DUI near Redwood City. To add to the complications, I was in a rental car with an out of state license, and I am a pilot. When I called Sam, I was very concerned about what was going to happen not only in terms of possible jail time but also what the effect was go...ing to be on my pilot certificate. Sam immediately put me at ease, and I felt confident that he would do an excellent job for me. He took the time too to become acquainted with the FAA reporting requirements. I was impressed that he took the time to consider the bigger picture, and what we needed to do to address that. Since I had no friends or family locally when I was arrested, I had to use a local bail bond company (from one of the numbers in the holding cell) and they were hassling me back in my state, demanding six references and even calling my references I had provided to get more references. Sam immediately took care of that situation and got them off my back. He was always accessible via text and answered my questions as I had them. Sam took care of all my court appearances without me having to travel back, and was able to get my charges reduced. I wholeheartedly recommend Sam.

Excellent service

Sam is a great criminal lawyer! He is very responsive (even late at night ). Sam guided me through the process and took all the pressure and stress away. He did not try to sugar code anything, and I appreciate it a lot! I think it is very important to know the truth and be realistic about the situat...ion you are in. Sam laid down all the possible outcomes of my case. He answered all my questions with patience and showed me his professionalism. I can't thank him enough for all the work he has done for me!

Great lawyer!

Great lawyer! Super fast at getting back to you! He answered our questions intelligently and was very open, understanding, and willing to help. He also answered our emails and phone calls in a timely, polite professional manner. Super approachable and very knowledgeable. He helped answer all my quest...ions dealing with restraining order request. I would recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice, especially if you want a quick response.

Wonderful attorney

Sam is a terrific lawyer. In particular, as his client, he always made me feel respected, supported, heard, and involved in the entire legal process. He did a great job of explaining the criminal justice system as it affected the situation I was dealing with, and made sure we were always moving forwa...rd together, agreeing on each course of action. In the end, he did a marvelous job and was able to get my case dismissed, so I honestly owe a great deal of my well-being and personal safety to the work he did on my behalf. I would definitely recommend him to someone facing a situation similar to mine.

Posted by anonymous | July 05, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Speeding violation

Sam was recommended by a friend as a go-to guy for a speeding ticket my mom got on New Years Eve speeding through 19th Avenue (and I mean really speeding). He picked up the phone right away and was able to calm her down, which is a close to impossible job in itself. Sam explained what she can expec...t and went over the steps that he will take to ensure her record won't be impacted. He talked to us about his experience as a criminal defense attorney specializing in DUI law and how that experience will play to our advantage because he is known in the court room and is comfortable being aggressive on behalf of his clients. I myself have gone to attorneys in San Francisco and San Mateo counties for prior traffic violations, paid money, but never actually had the attorney himself take the time to speak with me. And even then, after paying the fee, I had to be the one following up on the progress of my case. Its been 2 weeks and Sam has already checking in with my mom twice! We are very happy with the service and level of communication we have received thus far, and I am hoping Sam can get my moms case dismissed. I can tell Sam is a true advocate for his clients and if I ever found myself in real trouble, I would want a criminal defense attorney of Sams caliber on my side!

"This is the attorney I go to when I have issues with a case in federal court. I had a serious white collar crime case that involved embezzlement. I did not know if a civil compromise was possible based on the facts of the case. Within minutes I knew Sam knows what he is talking about and can actually give specific advise instead of vague answers that are useless. This is my go to guy if I need any assistance for my federal cases."
