Sami Sedghani, PharmD, J.D., founded Synergist Law in 2020 to take on a different kind of California personal injury litigation practice — one built around medical fluency and limited caseloads, not headline volume.
Sami's training is dual-track. He earned his PharmD from the University of California, San Francisco (consistently ranked among the top pharmacy schools in the country), then his J.D. magna cum laude, Order of the Coif, from UC College of the Law, San Francisco. Before practicing law, he served as a hospital pharmacist at UCSF Medical Center and at Kaiser Permanente — clinical-medication-management roles inside two of California's largest health systems. His California Board of Pharmacy registration is on retired status. He began his legal career at Latham & Watkins, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, and McDermott Will & Emery, where he handled pharmaceutical and medical device litigation nationwide. That combination — ., dual hospital experience, defense-side big-law litigation background, and J.D. — is rare in any plaintiff bar, and decisive when a case turns on medication, dosing, clinical pathway, or hospital-system records.
Sami is counsel of record in Osaze v. Aparicio-Gee (2026) A173403, a California Court of Appeal opinion certified for publication, in which the First Appellate District, Division Two reversed a summary judgment entered against the surviving family in a wrongful death case, holding that the trial court had misapplied Sargon Enterprises v. USC in excluding the plaintiffs' biomechanical and safety expert declarations.
Synergist Law represents seriously injured clients across California in:
— Kaiser Permanente medical malpractice and arbitration. Most plaintiff attorneys avoid Kaiser cases because of mandatory binding arbitration, the closed records system, and Kaiser's standardized clinical pathways. Sami knows all three from inside.
— CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) / RSD — contested-causation claims where insurance defense routinely disputes the diagnosis itself.
— Pharmaceutical injury and active MDLs (Ozempic, Talcum, Roundup, hernia mesh).
— Medical device injury — including Mobi-C and other artificial cervical disc replacement failures.
— Medication errors and pharmacy malpractice.
— Traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, burn, wrongful death and other catastrophic injury cases.
— Auto and truck accident litigation, and wrongful death.
— Employment discrimination (FEHA + Title VII) — harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination.
Past results, including published appellate opinions, do not guarantee a similar outcome in any future case. Each case depends on its own specific facts and circumstances. This information does not constitute legal advice.
