Sam is a fantastic criminal defense lawyer. A friend of mine got into a bit of trouble and I helped him look for a lawyer and so glad we found Sam. Gave him a call on a Sunday afternoon and he got right to work by listened to the details of the case, walked us through the process and started working on the case immediately. He gave clear instructions on what needed to be done, explained how everything was going to work and that he would do everything possible to get the case dismissed. He was available for calls/questions throughout the week and he was able to get the case dismissed. He couldn't have made an extremely stressful situation anymore easy on us so if you're looking for a criminal defense lawyer who knows how to beat a case, I'd highly recommend you give Sam a call.

Sam is an excellent lawyer, always on point and very knowledgeable. Criminal cases are never easily on the shoulders, but Sam takes the necessary time to be available and guide you throughout the whole process. He is also very quick to respond to emails and text messages which is a great plus. I highly recommend him!

About 6 months ago I was dealing with some criminal trouble. I reached out to Sam after someone referred him. We spoke on the phone and he made me feel comfortable despite the situation. I cannot really go into detail, but this was my first time being in trouble in my life. Sam walked me through how the criminal system works, explained what to expect. I have to say, everything happened exactly how he explained it. His work is very transparent. He let me look at the police report and everything else that was included. He explained to me all my options and any consequence of whatever choice I’d made. He responds to texts, emails, calls almost immediately. If you’re looking for a criminal defense lawyer, Sam is your guy.

If you want someone to fight for you Sam is your guy. Sam was able to make the court system as painless as possible while at the same time obtaining the best possible outcome for my case. He knows his stuff and is not afraid to go to trial if need be. The day before we were set for trial he was able to get the ADA to agree to dropping the most serious of my charges. Hopefully I won't be needing an attorney again in the future but would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!

I have a close friend that recently used Gellar law. We worked with Sam specifically and could not have had a better experience. Sam is an incredible criminal law defense attorney who was able to get my friend out of a terrible DUI case. Sam was fair, understanding, and really went to bat for us. He didn’t quit until my friends charges were completely dropped and he wouldn’t let the DA or police take advantage of my friend who spoke English as a second language and didn’t understand the court system. I would strongly recommend Gellar Law as the best lawyer you can find in San Francisco for criminal defense. If you find yourself in this or similar situation, it will be the best decision you ever made!

Great human being and an awesome attorney. He truly saved my life, work, and marriage. I was facing serious criminal charges and he was able to dismiss all of them. Best money I've ever spent. He's not cheap, but in my opinion worth every penny.

Sam is my go-to guy. He's helped me on numerous occasions, with small infractions and some bigger, more complex cases. I've never had to wait for a call back, because he always makes himself available to talk. Sam isn't stuck in rigid thinking, his approach is consistently dynamic and in accordance with the needs of his clients. I've certainly referred him to friends and family members., esp. on DUI cases. Sam is ever the consummate professional, and most importantly, his ethics are unwavering which is a must for anyone I would call my personal attorney.

I needed a lawyer for my uncle whose English isn't very good. I was referred to Sam by a friend and he was stellar. Not only was he kind to my uncle regarding the language barrier, he was also very patient. Sam always returned my calls and emails promptly and did an excellent job on my uncles DUI case. For each court appearance, Sam made sure my uncle was well prepared and explained exactly what would happen. There were never any surprises. If you need a criminal defense lawyer, this is the one for you.

Sam is a great defense lawyer. He takes time to talk to you about your case and he will let you know of all important updates throughout the process. He knows exactly what to do in each case he takes and most importantly he gets results. He isn't afraid to go to court and fight for you and he knows how to get cases dismissed and won in trial. Step number one in getting your case taken care of is to call Sam!!

Sam came recommend to me by friend who used him for DUI. After speaking to him, I feel comfortable to hire him for some help. He was responsive, keep me updated through the entire case, and was always very easy to reach. Working with Sam felt great. I would recommended Sam if you need a criminal attorney.

Sam is hands down the best at what he does. If you made a bad judgment call and got yourself in some trouble, give Sam a ring. He's easy to work with, very personable, and concise. Criminal matters can get pretty complex and sam breaks it all down. He's never in a rush, takes his time with you, and does his best. Like I said above, he's the best DUI lawyer you can find.

Sam is a great lawyer. Along with his professionalism, he is reliable and approachable that made me have a support. He helped me through all process and explained every step before we made decisions. At the end we settled the case and I can move on.
