In 2013, Sam founded Brotman Law, recognized in 2018 by Law Firm 500 as the 14th fastest-growing law firm in the United States. In 2016 – and every year since – Sam has been nominated as a “Super Lawyer – Rising Star” which recognizes the top 2.5% of lawyers, nationwide. And in his home base of San Diego, Sam has been nominated to San Diego’s “Best of the Bar” list of recommended attorneys.
Sam’s approach to problems often differs from other attorneys in that he focuses on the achievement of personal or organizational goals first and solving tax issues within a larger framework of what is best for the client.  Recognizing the importance of being his clients’ best advocate, Sam takes a practical rather than a litigious approach to solving tax problems, which has resulted in a collaborative, rather than a combative, relationship with the government. Having worked in this area for a long time – and achieving stellar results overall – Sam is able to utilize his knowledge of tax law and the way it is enforced to bring about a positive outcome.
