Sam John Polverino

As someone who had never encountered legal issues before, facing my first criminal case was scary. After interviewing several experienced lawyers in San Jose, I was referred to Sam. From our first consultation, I knew he could help me achieve the best possible outcome, and he indeed accomplished that.... He thoroughly explained the legal process, terminology, and potential scenarios, providing reassurance throughout. Not only is he a quick and reliable communicator, but he also handled my case professionally and diligently. Hopefully, I won't need his services again anytime soon, but if I or an acquaintance ever do, Sam will definitely be my top recommendation.

I am incredibly grateful to have had Sam represent me in my case. From the very beginning, he and his assistant Debra demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, confidentiality, dedication, and expertise that truly set him apart. Thanks to Sam, my case was rejected, and I was able to se...cure a Certificate of Factual Innocence. This outcome has profoundly impacted my life and I cannot thank him enough for his hard work and commitment. Throughout the entire process, Sam / Debra were always available to answer my questions, provide reassurance, and keep me informed about the progress of my case. He took the time to explain complex legal concepts in a way I could understand, which made a world of difference during such a stressful time. I highly recommend Sam to anyone in need of legal representation. His network, expertise, dedication, and compassion are truly unmatched, and I am forever grateful for the positive outcome he achieved for me. Thank you, Sam, for everything you have done!

We are so grateful to Sam for all his help. He is clearly well- respected in the DA's office, and was able to get the misdemeanor charges dismissed once the full story came out. He and his assistant Debra worked diligently and did not let up until the matter was fully resolved in a just and equitabl...e manner. Sam has the right balance of expertise, fortitude and compassion- all the skills you could ask for in a lawyer. We highly recommend!

Mr. Polverino is extremely competent and knowledgeable in complicated criminal defense cases focusing mostly on Santa Clara County. My case being excellently conducted from the first court date reduced charges to misdemeanor, to eventually dismissal after multiple court representations over the past ...seven months. He’s very calm and professional, and promptly responsive either personally by email or through his assistant Debra. I remember he personally called me back the same day after I contacted his office and left a voice message. It was a no brainer decision to hire Mr. Polverino after consulting/interviewing seven attorneys who all specialize in similar criminal defense cases. All in all Sam is simply the best!

I was involved in a domestic violent case, and I found Sam through online research. I talked to a few other lawyers before him, but I knew I needed to hire Sam after our initial consultation. We met face to face at his office. He carefully listened to my experience and walked me through the legal pro...cess. He is very experienced as he shared a lot more details about the District Attorney office than the other lawyers did, and he knows the current best way of convincing the DA to drop the case. He is also very genuine and down-to-earth. When I ask uncertain questions, he focuses on facts and does not over-promise anything. His legal pricing is competitive among all candidates, and when I asked if there is any room for discount, he honestly told me this was the lowest he would charge on a DA case. After I hired him, Sam and his assistant Debra answered all the questions I came up with. Luckily, my case was rejected before a preliminary hearing, and Sam voluntarily refunded two thirds of the legal fee and helped me request a detention certificate and sealed my arrest record. It was unbelievable. Honestly, I don't want to see any lawyers again. But if I get myself into troubles again, I wouldn't hesitate a second to hire Sam.
