Hired Attorney Samuel Spital

I am a LVN and I was seeking a really good attorney who could help me with an issue I had with the BVNPT. I called Sam and I was incredibly impressed. He was informative and very helpful. This was actually my first call to an attorney in regards to my case and I never looked back. Sam was so eager to help. If you are looking for someone who is enthusiastic and who is passionate about their work, then I highly recommend Sam. I had a great experience with Sam and I am so thankful!

Mr. Sam Spital, Esq and Mrs. Elizabeth Brady, Esq showed genuine interest in my case before the BRN. They spent their time in my consultation and were available at all hours. They are excellent professionals that provide legal representation to protect your rights. They get the best possible result for your case. And as in my case, the accusation was dismissed without disciplinary action. Philip M.

Phillip, we are most grateful for the trust and confidence you have bestowed in selecting legal counsel to, build an unparalleled but clearly appropriate strategy to have all charges dismissed and the previously published Accusation withdrawn.

The government opened an investigation, and Sam gave me advice and provided his personal representation. His dedication and effort was beyond my expectation. No matter where you reside in California, if you have a case, you need Sam in your corner. Thank you Sam for being there for me unconditionally. Roger L.

Samuel calls me back personally, not an assistant, and in a very punctual manner. He returns calls beyond what would be normal lawyer hours. He is an awesome attorney and person and I would highly recommend him.
