QUALITY LEGAL REPRESENTATION TO PROTECT YOUR FREEDOM
One of the best criminal defense attorneys in San Francisco is ready to fight for you
ATTORNEY AT LAW SAMUEL GELLER
Sam is a Bay Area native specializing in criminal defense in San Francisco and the surrounding areas. He received his Bachelor’s Degree from The University of San Francisco and his JD from the Golden Gate University School of Law. Sam is licensed to practice law in California and New York.
The sole reason Sam attended law school was to become a criminal defense attorney. Since being licensed to practice law, he has defended good people accused of committing a vast amount of different crimes.
Sam’s journey began in Marin County where he was a public defender for one year. In his first three months as an attorney, he conducted his first jury trial and obtained a not-guilty verdict for his client. That year he went on to conduct three more jury trials and obtain a dismissal rate that is well beyond average. While four jury trials may not seem like much, consider that attorneys do not conduct a single trial their entire career.
After leaving Marin County, Sam continued his career as a public defender in San Francisco. Sam hit the ground running and during his second week on the job successfully represented his client in a DUI jury trial securing his first win.
In 2014 alone, Sam conducted eight jury trials and assisted in a ninth felony jury trial that received wide media attention throughout California. Sam is able to do this because he prides himself on being an aggressive defense attorney to truly help his clients. For this reason, he has quickly gained respect of his clients, colleagues, prosecutors, and judges throughout the Bay Area.
After some time as a public defender, Sam founded Geller Law. Since, he has successfully defended clients dealing with criminal cases in the greater Bay Area including counties of San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, Marin, Napa, Santa Cruz, Solano, and Sonoma. Sam deals with a wide range of criminal cases including DUI/DWI, domestic violence, theft, drugs, gun, assault and battery, and many more.

REVIEWS
Although I don’t often write reviews, I couldn’t help but share my family’s exceptional experience working with Sam. From the very beginning, he was responsive, offered unwavering emotional support and reassurance, all while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. It felt like having a trusted friend by our side throughout the process. I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend him as your lawyer. Truly went above and beyond.

I called Sam regarding an issue I was facing with the courts. I already had an attorney retained but still needed advice. Sam took his time to explain what I needed to do and even went as far as to turn down my request as he didn’t see it was fit to charge me for something my lawyer should have completed. With that alone, Sam gained a client for life not only will he be a resource for me but for my business, family, and friends! I couldn’t recommend him enough!

Sam was very straight forward and helped me guided through my DUI court case. He was super helpful and eased my mind with the whole ordeal. A DUI can be quite difficult to navigate, and it was a pleasure to have him navigate through the situation. If you want a kind, optimistic, easy to work with lawyer, sam is the person to go to

Exceptional Lawyer with Unwavering Dedication and Compassion! Took me a while to compile this but, I had the privilege of connecting with Mr. Geller regarding a challenging DUI case, and I can’t express enough how grateful I am to have had him as a knowledgeable lawyer. Samuel is not just an attorney; he is a true advocate, a compassionate ally, and a beacon of hope in the often daunting legal world.

I hired Mr. Geller to help me with a complicated case in testing a relatively new 2023 law. Mr. Geller was motivated and confident to take my case and I sensed he would work hard to bring my case a positive result. I am very thankful to Mr. Geller for all of his help, as Mr. Geller gave me a fair risk assessment, but that he would give his best shot. I highly recommend Mr. Geller’s services.
