Sam John Polverino

before I paid him money, he told me it's difficult for DA to prove I was guilty because no evidence, after I paid him a flat fee, he told me that it's difficult for me to prove I was innocent because no evidence, and suggested me to plea guilty, otherwise I might stay in prison for a very long time, ...and I could not survive in the prison. After that, it's very difficult to connect with him unless he want me to paid a bill. Finally, he asked me to pay an unreasonable bill, then he would get a great deal for me, I refused to plea guilty or pay the unreasonable bill, then he withdrew. At the beginning, he told me the bill was $1200, I agreed; later, he told me the bill was $1800 because the expert need to travel from east bay, $600 for the travel fee, I asked him to hire an local expert, he refused; later, he told me the bill was $3100. I paid $1800, but refused to paid the additional $1300. After 2 years, my case was dismissed. If you search his name in Santa Clara court's website, you may find out that he is working on 100+ cases at the same time, he won't have enough time to help his clients even if he wants

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!
