Sam began his legal career at the District Attorney’s Office and served as an Assistant District Attorney for two and a half years before joining Nicholson Revell.  While serving as an Assistant District Attorney, Sam was responsible for handling the full prosecution of hundreds of felony cases in Richmond, Columbia, and Burke Counties.  Sam developed his courtroom advocacy skills by trying numerous cases ranging from low level felonies to murder cases to jury verdict.

Since joining the team at Nicholson Revell, Sam has focused his practice on representing individuals who have been seriously injured by the negligence of others.  Sam enjoys representing people against powerful insurance companies and corporate defendants. While Sam is comfortable handling any serious injury case, he has developed particular interest and expertise in the areas of professional negligence, tractor trailer collisions, and nursing home abuse and neglect.

Sam graduated from Virginia Tech in 2006 and was a member of the golf team.  After his college and golf career were over, Sam attended Georgia State University College of Law and graduated in 2010.
