Hi, I’m Sam
Rather than juggle multiple business cards, I just have one. It leads here, where you can probably find the information you are looking for.
If you are just trying to get in touch with me, my contact information is a short click away. You can also find me on several social networks:
I do a lot of writing and some lawyering. If you want to find out about all the other stuff I have done, here is my CV.
What I look like
If you are curious, or if you are hoping to recognize me when we meet for coffee instead of wandering around asking people if they are meeting someone from the Internet, here is what I look like with a suit on (well, what I looked like with a suit on in 2008):
(Actually, I never wear a suit if I can avoid it, so this probably will not help you recognize me.)
Stuff I do for money
Lawyerist
Lawyerist, a blog I started in 2007, began as a place for me to rant about bad legal software. Over the last five years or so (depending on when you read this) it has grown into a business that continues to grow at a sometimes-alarming pace.
Lawyerist now includes a forum for lawyers, which we call the LAB (Lawyering Advisory Board), and a network of law blogs and law firm websites.
Estate Map
Estate Map is revolutionary software for estate planning lawyers. I am in charge of communications for Estate Map, which includes the Estate Dispatch blog and email newsletter.
Lawyering
I handle appeals and motion practice for individuals and in consultation with other lawyers.
Caveat Emptor
I don’t handle consumer rights cases any longer, but I still care about consumer issues. When I write about consumer rights, I do it at Caveat Emptor, a blog I started in late 2005.
Stuff I do for fun
I like espresso, and I take pictures of it. Sometimes I also take pictures of cocktails.
Sometimes I write about stuff that doesn’t fit anywhere else, and I do it here.
