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. He offered information and assistance without anything in return. Because my case was a little more complicated, he referred me to the appropriate attorney that could be of great assistance to my case. If you are looking for someone who is enthusiastic and passionate about their work, then I highly recommend Sam. I had a great experience with Sam and I am so thankful for all that he did.

Sam and Elizabeth helped me obtain the best possible outcome for my case. Sam provided me crucial guidance and advice early on which helped immensely. I felt like I wasn't conversing with a lawyer...but rather my father, a person who had my best personal interest in mind. I truly appreciated his advice. If you are in need of a lawyer who is experienced, astute, and resilient in obtaining the best possible outcome for your case, look no further. Thank you Sam and Elizabeth for all your hard work in defending my BON case!

I had called Samuel earlier in the day and he got back to me that afternoon. He was very knowledgeable about what needed to be done and offered a very detailed outline of what I needed to say and my very important letter. The next day I emailed him the letter and he personally reviewed it and made a few corrections and deletions she then apologized for getting back to me so late it was 8 o'clock at night. I had no idea that he was going to read it personally and make some corrections. What an outstanding nice lawyer. I will definitely use him in the future and highly recommend him.

The Board of Registered nursing opened an investigation on my RN license. I contacted Sam and he gave me valuable advice and counsel. If you are a Rn and need a professional lawyer, then Sam Spital is the lawyer you need on your corner.

Dealing with attorneys can sometimes feel like a trip to the dentist for a root canal without anesthesia! I spent weeks filtering through attorneys hoping to find the one. I had almost lost hope,and late one evening I happened upon Sam Spital's website. I sent him an email, and within an hour I received a response! He called me and we had almost a 2 hour phone consult where he answered ALL my questions and helped put things into prospective. His dedication is extraordinary! I can't thank Sam enough for the gems he handed me! He's one of the most extraordinary attorneys I've met in my lifetime, his honesty and straightforwardness, helped me really see things in a different prospective. I didn't hire Sam Spital, because after his detailed information, and under his wisdom, moving forward wouldn't be in my best interest, given my circumstances. He was more concerned for my outcome, than his own. If you're in need of an Attorney, Sam Spital is the first and last call you need to make!

I cannot begin to thank Sam for all of his hard work regarding my licensing case. Sam and Elizabeth are both always available. They answer any question that may arise at any time. I am 100% confident if it wasn't for Sam and Elizabeth's expert knowledge as license defense attorneys, my outcome would not have been favorable. They truly are the best. I am truly forever grateful.

After a single night of poor judgment I placed my professional license and reputation at peril and subject to the scrutiny of a licensing board. I retained the counsel of Attorney Spital and after a year of investigations and legal proceedings, he represented me before the licensing board. To this end he prepared an extraordinary mitigation package outlining my career and credentials and presented a cogent argument on my behalf. Within less than a week, the board dismissed the matter without consequence. I believe that his strategy to provide the board with thorough documentation on myself, my career, my accomplishments as well as on the mitigating circumstances related to the issue at hand facilitated the board's decision to look no further into the case. I am grateful for his services and highly recommend him.

Sam and Elizabeth are an amazing team. They work extremely hard to achieve the best possible outcome and are always available to guide and support you throughout the process. I picked Sam and his team to help defend my nursing license against the Board. I am so glad I did. They worked tirelessly to advocate on my behalf. Whether you reside in the United States or Canada and have an issue or concern regarding a California professional or occupational license , Sam and his team are tenacious and will fight for you. They are truly extraordinary; I can't thank them enough.

Attorney Sam Spital and Attorney Elizabeth Brady were exceptional with handling my case. I currently possess a professional license; however, a poor lapse in judgment on my part late last year placed my license in jeopardy with the regulating Board. I sought the assistance and services of Spital and Associates, and was immediately confident that they would be able to provide the legal assistance needed in my case. Although winning the case was not guaranteed, he and his firm promised to provide superior and dedicated service to obtain favorable results. After working with this firm for a few months on my case, the regulating Board informed me that they were not going to pursue a Disciplinary Action on me, and that my license would not be affected by my previous actions.
I am grateful for the assistance that Spital and Associates provided, and would highly recommend this legal firm to any professional who may be faced with the possibility of losing one’s professional license.

After 16 years of being a RN, I received an accusation from the Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) for the first time in my career. Unfortunately, I did not seek legal representation immediately. This was the biggest MISTAKE I could have ever made. No matter how big/small you believe your accusations are, SEEK Mr. Spital's legal counsel STAT. You will need time for proper representation. Mr. Spital called me back @ 6am on a weekend. Because of Mr. Spital, I was able to understand my rights as a RN/options, & provided countless advice hours. Mr. Spital could not represent me but his patience, responsiveness and expertise in this field leads me to believe that he is the BEST lawyer for this type of case against the BRN. I've interviewed other attorneys, none come close to the valuable Mr. Spital provided. You get for what you pay for. Do not hesitate to get legal representation from the best since your license deserves nothing but the best!!!

I received an accusation from the Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) for the first time in my career. Under misguided advice from other RN colleagues, I did not seek legal representation. Additionally, the documents provided by the BRN led me to believe the hearing did not require legal representation. Therefore, I thought at the hearing, I could share my side of the story with the judge and he/she would see why I believe I was wrongfully accused of practicing out of my scope of practice. This was the biggest MISTAKE I could have ever made. No matter how big or small you believe your accusations are, please seek legal counsel immediately. If you receive any documents from the BRN, I suggest giving Mr. Spital a call right away. He helped me understand my rights/options as a RN. His patience, responsiveness and expertise in this field leads me to believe he is the best lawyer for this type of case against nurses from the BRN.

I am an Orange County medical doctor and in situations that most doctors, fortunately, are unfamiliar, we need a man who makes it his mission to set the record straight, identify holes in the accusation(s), identify strengths in our armor. Sam Spital has the grit, knowledge, and comprehensive understanding of the law that is needed. I called Mr. Spital, who was snap to respond to my email inquiry, get me on the phone, and bring about calm and reassurance. For the next 8 hours I walked with more confidence. At the end of the day, I had learned that my fear about a medical board inquiry was unnecessary and that indeed I had nothing to answer to. Those 8 hours were far more comfortable because of this man. Had I to face a medical board inquiry, I would want to do it with no one other than this man in my corner. I would, if given the opportunity to recommend anyone to a colleague, look no further than this gentleman, Sam Spital. I wish you nothing but the best Sir...I am in your debt. -

Sam Spital and Associates handled my civil/criminal case against my Registered Nursing license and was able to to do an excellent job in my defense to the point where I no longer had to worry or stress about the future of my career. He gave an amazing defense and I am truly grateful for his advise and knowledge. His expertise was extensive and was a bulldog when it came to my defense. Thank you.

Sam Spital was highly recommended to me by a colleague and to this day I remain in their debt. Sam is an exceptional attorney and someone you can genuinely trust. He is deeply committed to his work and clients. In spite of a full case load he always made my husband and I feel as though we were his only clients. Sam kept us fully informed and never hesitated to return our calls after hours and on weekends. When he says he is available 24/7 he really means it!

SAM’ IS CALIFORNIA’S BEST PROFESSIONAL LICENSE ATTORNEY !!
I was in a devastating situation about a year ago. My RN license was in serious jeopardy.
I had to find a solution and a good lawyer within two weeks. With god's help and prayers,
I found Samuel Spital. He was open with me from the beginning; he explained the whole
process, hiring the top experts available to testify on my behalf, completing an excellent
mitigation package with the goal to get my case resolved before going to trial.
Sam did not give me any unrealistic expectations, but he promised to do the best to help
me out. He treated me with respect, and was available 24/7 to answer any questions I had.
He saved me from losing my license but most of all he saved me from losing hope in the
process. It was a very difficult year, but it was also a great experience to see honesty,
integrity and superb ethics and learn from the best.

LITIGATION DEFENSE COUNSEL: Sam handled a matter on behalf of my business quickly and effectively. No one knows the practical implementation of the law like Sam Spital. The moment I called Sam, I knew I was in the right hands. Have been with him for a year now and have full confidence in him. Sam has pulled me out of some pretty unsettling situations in one piece. He knows those little life and death details that are so often missed by even the most accredited of "professionals". When Im feeling uncertain about the future, I call Sam Spital.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who has worked with lawyers over the past 10 years on forensic evaluations. Sam was amazing. He is the best lawyer I have worked with, from professionalism, to attention to detail, to being personable and very reachable by phone and email. He clearly cares about his clients and does a superb job. He is very knowledgeable, and was very team oriented in his approach with working with another professional. I don't know anyone who works harder than this guy. 7 days a week, he was available for questions and consultations, and gets back to you extremely quickly so you are not left hanging. He is really great at what he does and I highly recommend him

We are a national low voltage electrical contractor licensed in California, with our corporate office in Washington State. We found ourselves before the CSLB in violation of certain Professional Codes. After comprehensive research we hired Sam Spital to represent our company.
Sam brought to the table extensive knowledge and skills in criminal law as well as administrative law. He obtained an unprecedented result "withdrawal of all accusations" filed by the CSLB.
We never had the pleasure of meeting Sam in person. Our entire case was handled by telephone and e-mail correspondence from Washington. We had to develop a trust relationship from the beginning. This trust was well placed.
Sam provided across the board legal consultation timely and effectively. Due to Sam's efforts our business in California was never disrupted.

It is important to emphasize how poor the quality of our life would be if my husband and I had not retained Samuel Spital. In this case, which was a litigation matter, Sam was successful in presenting a compelling and powerful defense. Due to the strategy used by Sam, the case resulted in a pay out of 30 cents on the dollar. He was persistent and knew that we were in a strapped financial position, which meant that literally, every penny counted. Essentially, the fees we paid to Sam came directly from the dollars he saved us (and then some.) There is no doubt that we would have paid double or triple the cost had we retained any other attorney(s). This was also a very stressful matter for us and Sam handled it with the compassion and true understanding that we needed. To say that we are very, very pleased with the outcome of our case is an understatement. This goes hand-in-hand with the fact that we would hire Sam again and refer him to our friends and colleagues.

Sam helped me through a very trying time. I had called and interviewed several attorneys in regard to my licensing issue, and Sam was the best fit for me. He not only helped me professionally, but also helped me personally by staying focused and positive on the issue. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone seeking help for licensure issues.

How lucky was I to find Mr. Spital online!! We had an lawsuit in his area and we live in the northwest which seemed to me overwhelming. Mr. Spital immediately put me at ease and between himself and his associate, Elizabeth made everything simple to understand and stayed on top of everything, which was very complicated. I can't tell you how much we appreciated not only his expertise but his actual caring about our case.

Sam Spital and his associate Elizabeth worked with our son to favorably settle a dispute with a California University. They were very conscientious and assiduous in their advise, contact, negotiation, and follow-up with our son during the dispute. We new that Mr. Spital was committed to our son and to an optimal outcome. Our son made an excellent determination in hiring Mr. Spital.

When I contacted Sam Spital's firm, he called me back personally and spoke with me at length. After he took my case, he got right to business and checked in with me daily via email. I never felt that Mr. Spital was unavailable or out of reach. Mr. Spital and his associates were very thorough. They managed to get my case cleared before it ever went to court. They protected my professional liscence. I can't say enough good things about Mr. Spital. If you need a lawyer at all, then you need THIS lawyer. I highly recommend Mr. Spital.

Long story short....I still have my professional license today thanks to Sam Spital. Sam and his associate Elizabeth fought aggressively and passionately to keep my license from being revoked and were successful, despite what seemed to me a hopeless case. Sam lived up to his title – counselor- providing me not only with legal counsel, but with professional and personal counsel that made him stand apart from other attorneys I have dealt with in the past. His devotion to my cause was exemplary.

I hired this firm and I ended up having to look for someone else to take over later on. His fees were too high and I could never get my calls returned. My experience was different than the experience of the other posters.

I was recently overwhelmed with a $300,000 lawsuit over real estate property. In search of a reliable lawyer, a friend recommended Sam Spital and Associates. Once I expressed my concerns to Sam, I was confident I would receive proper legal advice and representation. Throughout the process, Sam demonstrated exceptional legal expertise ensuring all my questions were answered in a timely manner. Sam's personal attention, coupled with his dynamic personality, had a profound impact on the outcome of the estate litigation. The case was settled, I had to pay nothing to the other side, with a reasonable attorney's fee as well. Sam Spital has my highest recommendation as a trustworthy lawyer.

"Sam is a wonderful lawyer and person. He works hard to give you his very best, and my
husband and I depended on him greatly when we had an extremely difficult business
situation to resolve last year. I honestly do not think we would have been successful in
our outcome without him. Be prepared for Sam to tell it to you like it is. If you like that (and we certainly
did), and if you want someone who knows what he is talking about, this is the lawyer for
you. Joan Pastor Thompson, PhD, Licensed Psychologist PSY 21808, and John Thompson, MBA."
