I joined Robert J. DeBry & Associates in May of 2000. For 22 years prior, I had a solo practice representing individuals and small firms. I commonly litigated on their behalf against large companies.. As part of my practice, I enjoy working with Spanish-speaking clients and talk with them daily. I have also met with Robert J. DeBry clients in Mexico and served a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Honduras and Venezuela from 1966 to 1968.. My wife and I have six children. These children and their families (including 14 grandchildren) all live along the Wasatch front.

I aggressively defend my clients.  I have over 25 years of experience in the state and federal courts and developed an extensive criminal defense practice.  I worked with the Western Trial Advocacy Institute and has tried numerous federal and state felony and misdemeanor cases. I have also been active in the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Utah Appellate Courts.. I attended the University of Wyoming College of Law after obtaining bachelor degrees in Physics, Materials Science and Engineering and Political Science at the University of Utah. While at the University of Wyoming I was active in the Potter Law Club and became director of the Prosecution Assistance Program.. Following law school, I clerked for the Ninth Judicial District Court for the State of Wyoming. He then became a deputy prosecuting attorney in Fremont County, Wyoming. He handled cases involving felonies, misdemeanors, juvenile court and competency hearings, taking a fair number of them to trial.. I have conducted hundreds of trails in my carrier, including cases where my clients have been accused of: Muder, RICO, White Collar, Fraud, Forgery, Possession and Ditribution of Controlled Substances, DUI, Child Abuse, Illegal Possession of Firearms, Bank Robbery, Aggravated Kidnaping, Aggravated Assault, and much more.. I like the challenge that comes with defendant someone accused of an offense.  I like to think of my clients as Federal Three-Percenters or State Five-Percenters.  Righly 97% of the people charged federally get convicted and face possible prision and only 3% go home.  Roughly 95% of the people charged in the state system get convicted and face possible prision and only 5% go home.  There is no guarnatee as to how any case will come out, but I fight hard to protect my clients and want every one of them to get the change to go home, be with their families and enjoy their life.

I  practice in the areas of Business and Corporate Governance, Trademark and Copyright, Cybersecurity, Media law, Nonprofit law, Technology law, and Real Estate. I represent and advise clients in the areas of high tech, construction, healthcare, non-profit, the arts, advertising, technology, publishing, hospitality, and retail, among others. I have negotiated, drafted, reviewed, and revised scores of business and personal contracts and related agreements, including corporate and LLC documents, purchase contracts, assignments, commercial leases, HOA documents, technology licenses, IP agreements, service contracts, and loan documents, among many others. As a former communications professional, I focus on accessibility and providing exceptional personalized service to each client.. I began my career as a journalist and magazine editor.  As such, I had the opportunity to ask a lot of questions.  That background provides me with invaluable experience in carefully listening to clients as a means of seeking to understand their issues. I have also been a small business owner, which gives me insights into the issues entrepreneurs face as they attempt to juggle multiple responsibilities, including management, employee relations, intellectual property and trade secrets, and regulatory requirements.. I seek  to collaborate with clients and remain in close contact as we undertake a project.  By working together, we can effectively identify issues and weigh possible solutions. I have found that when a client is fully informed and has an opportunity to consult with his or or her lawyer, some of the anxiety  that the legal system inspires dissipates and problems seem less overwhelming. I'm also a firm believer in the old adage that the only stupid question is the one left unasked.. My hobbies include hiking and backpacking with my wife, daughter, and two golden retrievers, collecting first edition books about the Southwest, and playing bluegrass music on the guitar and dobro.

In his spare time, Sam enjoys spending time with his wife and two sons.  They all enjoy boating, moutain biking, skiing, and traveling.  Sam also volunteers with the Boy Scouts of America, and the Everest and Troop Community Foundations.

I've been practicing law for 13 years and am licensed in CA (inactive) and UT. I recently refocused my career on personal injury and am loving the opportunity to help people who have been hurt. I'm working with a team of top notch attorneys at Robert J. Debry and Associates. I'm a laundry-ninja and avid reader. I practice Muay Thai and love getting outside. I'm an abolitionist (see O.U.R Rescue) and try to make a difference where I can. I like crunchy peanut butter on my waffles and have a weakness for chocolate. I'm a proud father and hope that my children grow up to be better than I am. I'm fortunate to be married to the beautiful and talented Molly Bice Jackson (who you may have seen performing in various theatres, on TV, or followed on social media - she's much prettier than me). Having lost our first child Lucy in a tragic accident we started a charity (A Good Grief) to help others deal with loss. While we no longer operate the charity (raising kids is hard work) we still try to serve in our communities and look for ways to make the world a better place. I'm committed to my helping my clients and the people around me because I believe we can all improve our lives and help others to be healthier, happier, and wiser.

I work exclusively to defend physicians and hospitals in medical negligence civil litigation. I also specialize in health care regulation, such as HIPAA and the ACA.

I was first licensed to practice law in the state of Nevada in 2013.  I have practiced as a trial attorney in Nevada since that time, focusing primarily on divorce/custody matters.  I was employed as the sole associate of a well-established divorce/custody attorney, who functioned as my mentor.. In early 2017, however, I relocated to the state of Utah, and became licensed there as well.  I presently am employed at the Utah law firm of Smart Schofield Shorter, PC, a 13 attorney firm with broad capacity for all types of litigation.  Though the bulk of my caseload remains oriented towards family law, I have been expanding to other areas of civil practice as well as criminal practice.. I do still take cases in Nevada, and travel as needed for any court appearances.  Whether you live in Nevada or Utah, please don't hesitate to contact me to discuss your legal issue; the consultation is free!

I understand that having to hire a lawyer usually means that a person is in a tough situation.  Thus, I know that when a person hires me, they are relying upon me to give them the best opportunity to try and bring a positive outcome to the tough situation.  Accordingly, I'm aware of the trust and reliance that a client is placing in me and that motivates me to ensure that I am doing everything I possibly can to provide them the best possible representation.. I am not the cheapest lawyer out there, but I'm not the most expensive.  However, I firmly believe that when you hire me, you are getting quality assistance and giving yourself the best possible chance to get a positive result of your case.  Overall, I am confident in my ability to provide excellent representation to any client.

I started Common Law after leaving a large Salt Lake firm. My goal is to provide effective and efficient expertise in the resolution of tax and financial disputes.

I have litigated numerous cases at city, county, and state tax agencies, at all of the IRS administrative levels, and at the trial court level in both the state and federal courts of Utah, courts in other states, and the United States Tax Court.. I also have substantial appellate court experience, including before the Utah Court of Appeals, the Utah Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, and the United States Tax Court.. Although my emphasis is tax, I have litigated cases in numerous commercial areas of law, including real estate disputes, insurance coverage disputes, corporate and contract disputes, and financial transaction disputes.. I am admitted to practice before all Utah State Courts, the U.S. District Court for Utah, the U.S. Tax Court, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
