What People Are Saying
“We've come to depend on Sam's expertise for everything legal - from major publishing deals, agreements with subcontractors, trademarks, the occasional "Hey, stop doing that!" letter down to simple sanity checks. If you want to feel like your studio has in-house counsel that knows you and your needs even before you do, get in touch with Sam. Because a good lawyer can help you out of a jam when someone comes along and steals your art to use in an app. A great lawyer helps you get set up in advance so that you're ready for the day that might happen and then makes it smoothly go away. And Sam is a great lawyer.”

Sam is great! We have worked with him for a number of years now, and he’s helped us through many phases of the game creation process – from his guidance on avoiding potential legal pitfalls, through helping us form our company, to finally publishing our game on Steam. All throughout he’s been great to work with, and his insight has been invaluable. If you work with Sam, you’re in good hands!
