At The Hassell Law Group, we’re proud to share some exciting news: Senior Attorney Sam Lasser has been named to the 2026 Northern California Super Lawyers list. This marks the second year in a row Sam has earned this distinction, having also been selected in 2025 – a testament to his consistent, hard-fought advocacy on behalf of injured clients across the Bay Area and beyond.
What Does It Mean to Be a “Super Lawyer”?
Super Lawyers is one of the most respected attorney rating services in the country. Unlike a simple popularity contest, its selection process is rigorous and multi-layered, combining peer nominations, independent research, and a thorough evaluation of each candidate’s professional accomplishments. Less than 5% of attorneys in any given state make this list in a given year, demonstrating that only the most qualified attorneys are selected.
That means Sam’s selection isn’t just a nice honor – it’s recognition from his peers and the broader legal community that he’s among the top personal injury attorneys practicing in Northern California today.
A Trial Attorney Clients Can Count On
Sam brings more than 18 years of legal and courtroom experience to every case he handles. He has taken 13 cases all the way to trial – with a successful outcome in every one of them. Over the course of his career, he’s secured numerous six- and seven-figure recoveries for injured clients, including standout results of $3.75 million and $1.1 million in separate personal injury matters.
His momentum has continued into this past year, with a $780,000 jury verdict in a San Mateo County car accident case and a $1.05 million recovery in an Alameda County motor vehicle injury case – proof that his track record keeps growing stronger.
Sam represents people hurt in:
- Car crashes
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Rideshare collisions
- Dangerous property conditions
- Other accidents caused by someone else’s negligence
One thing that sets Sam apart is his well-rounded perspective. Earlier in his career, he was a defense attorney – meaning he understands exactly how insurance companies and defense attorneys approach, evaluate, and litigate personal injury claims. That insider knowledge helps him anticipate the other side’s strategy and build stronger cases for the people he represents.
What Our Founder Has to Say
“Sam is an exceptional trial attorney whose skill, determination, and commitment to his clients make him an invaluable member of our legal team,” said Dawn Hassell, Managing Attorney and Founder of The Hassell Law Group. “His selection to Super Lawyers is a well-deserved recognition of the experience and tireless advocacy he brings to every case.”
In Sam’s Own Words
“I am honored to be selected to the 2026 Super Lawyers list and proud to be part of a firm that is deeply committed to providing exceptional legal representation and achieving meaningful results for the injured clients we serve,” Sam Lasser said. “This recognition reflects the work our entire team performs on behalf of injured clients.”
Sam’s Background
Sam earned his law degree from the University of San Francisco School of Law and has been licensed to practice law in California since 2007. He’s also admitted to practice before the United States District Courts for the Northern and Eastern Districts of California.
