Sam John Polverino

Sam Polverino is a God sent lawyer! We called about 20 lawyers before we found him. We sat down with him on a Friday afternoon regarding a possible sex assault charge. He knew which DA prosecutor our case would be sent to. He made a call to the district attorney office and to the investigator right i...n front of us and quickly got the details of the case and how the prosecution approaches it. The investigator was willing to talk to him because he knew him from a previous case. What a relief after two weeks of being in darkness! Luckily for us, it sounded that the case was too weak for the DA to file charges. If you're looking for a criminal defense attorney, look no further. After having spoken with about 20 attorneys, we knew what we were looking for - knowledgable, professional and empathetic. Sam is all of that. We highly recommend him! It also looks like he is highly regarded among his colleagues in the community. We couldn't be more grateful. If you or your family are going through stress of facing criminal charges, you need an honest, proactive and knowledgable attorney. Thankfully, there is one like that.

We were referred to Sam Polverino by a friends criminal attorney. We were told that Mr. Polverino was the best when it came to DUI's. Our 19 year old son had been arrested and charged with 2 felony DUI's that would each count as a strike against him. From the beginning we could feel that Sam genuin...ely cared about our son and his case. We were impressed with the amount of respect Sam received in the court room. He put together a team of well known top leaders in the field of accident re-enactment professional. And in the end was able to reduce the felonies to a misdemeanor. Sam was always available when we needed him. Always took the time to answer our questions. And we had plenty. This is the attorney you want on your side if you find yourself in trouble. He is professional, intelligent and tenacious.

I began my search with a list of several criminal law specialists because I wanted to hire someone I could trust with knowing criminal law. Someone who is well experienced in criminal law, criminal courts, and who knows what to expect when an individual is accused of a crime. After dialing the Offi...ce of Sam Polverino, I was able to speak directly to him about my situation, which frankly made me panic because of the severity and nature of the allegation. As I spoke with Mr. Polverino, he carefully listened to every detail over the phone given that I had not yet scheduled the first appointment. I was highly impressed by his attentiveness and caring nature. After we spoke on the phone, we scheduled to meet, and during the first meeting, I knew I wanted to hire Mr. Polverino. So, I felt I could trust him, and I hired him as my attorney. He began with a general discussion about crimes, and how the criminal system works. He helped me understand how this situation could affect me, and he also began to strategize in ways that could help me resolve the matter. His experience as a specialist was evident in the way he knew case law within the penal code. Mr. Polverino knew exactly how to deal with my situation after we spoke, but I was able to see his professionalism the minute I hired him. He kept in constant communication whenever there was information that needed to be exchanged. Even after business office hours and weekends when I would have last minute questions, he would respond when he made himself available. Not to mention, during hard times, when I did not know what to expect, Mr. Polverino’s positive energy and good aura helped me stay positive. After my first experience in court, I learned how well respected he is in the legal community. As his client, he treated me with great respect and dignity. Although it took over a year to resolve my case, Mr. Polverino consistently worked toward justice- at finding the truth. With his expertise at hand, and his skillful team of professionals, my case was dismissed. I was finally able to move on with my life. Hence, I highly recommend Mr. Polverino to you, if you are troubled by what you are facing or if you have lost faith in the criminal justice system. Hire Mr. Polverino, a lawyer you can trust!

My son and I hired sam over the phone for my sons legal matter. Sam took the time to talk to me and my son at length and also promised to look into the case the following day prior to us hiring him at no charge. The following day he sent me all the reports for the case. Sam accurately advised us on ...all matters throughout the process. He has a kind disposition and is always available for calls to keep you updated. He is very knowledgable and understands the San Jose court system. I can not thank him enough for helping us through this difficult situation. I will be forever grateful. I highly recommend Sam if you are in need of a criminal lawyer.
