Prior to attending law school, Samantha worked as a Special Legislative Assistant to Gov. Jerry Brown in his Office of Legislative Affairs. Her work centered on policy related to education, labor, criminal justice reform, and environmental issues. She then attended Michigan State University College of Law, where she was admitted to the Geoffrey Fieger Trial Practice Institute. After graduating cum laude, Samantha got her start in the legal field by working as a Judicial Advisory Assistant to the (Ret.) Hon. Joseph J. Farah in Flint, Michigan, where she most notably worked on both the criminal and civil Flint Water Cases in both the federal and state litigation. Her appreciation for the intricacies of the issues presented in those cases led her to continue working in environmental litigation. Indeed, once she returned to California, she had the opportunity to represent clients in litigation related to Prop. 65, asbestos exposure, and violations of the Clean Water Act, among other toxic torts.
Samantha has prepared and won multiple dispositive motions; taken and defended depositions; mediated cases; and taken a matter to trial. She is proud to take that experience to London Fischer.
