Our 
Mission

Dedicated to defending the legal rights bestowed on all of us by the Constitution. A track record of success built one case at a time.

Our 
Focus

A great deal rides on the outcome of a criminal case. The consequences of a criminal conviction can be far-reaching and life-altering. 

Samuelson Law, was founded on the belief that people facing criminal charges deserve a zealous, high-quality defense. Derek Samuelson has dedicated his career to fighting for people whose voices aren’t always heard in the criminal justice system.

Unlike general practice law firms that split their time between many different areas of law, Samuelson Law focuses exclusively on criminal defense. Our singular purpose is to provide the highest caliber legal representation to each and every client facing criminal prosecution.
