Areas of Practice

Labor & Employment

 

Bosses exploiting workers is a tale as old as time. If your boss has picked your pocket, pulled a fast one on your paystub, sexually harassed you, retaliated against you for engaging in protected activity, or unlawfully discriminated against you, Sam will fight them (with the law, of course).

Landlord vs. Tenant

 

When workers go home, they turn into tenants. While Landlords might think they get to treat you like a peasant, you have the right to be free from unlawful discrimination and harassment, and a right to a habitable home, free of nuisances.

Civil Rights Law

 

Sam has experience representing survivors of right-wing, politically motivated violence, privately prosecuting perpetrators under civil rights laws such as the Ralph Act and the Bane Act. Sam prosecuted a successful lawsuit against the perpetrator who used his truck to run over Black Lives Matter protesters in San Jose, California.
