Sam Farzani

Competent employment counsel, though communication could improve

I engaged Sam Farzani at Jackson Lewis to advise on a complex wage and hour compliance issue for our small business in Los Angeles. His background in Labor and Employment Law - Management, and the recognition from Best Lawyers, were primary factors in our selection. Sam's analysis of the relevant California labor codes was thorough and his strategic advice was sound, ultimately helping us navigate the audit successfully. His expertise in litigation also provided a valuable perspective on risk assessment. However, the experience was not without its frustrations. Response times to emails were sometimes slower than expected, often taking several business days, which created anxiety during time-sensitive phases. While his legal guidance was correct, the explanations could occasionally feel rushed or overly technical without sufficient translation into actionable business steps. For straightforward legal analysis, Sam is clearly knowledgeable, and his credentials from Loyola Marymount University and his firm's reputation are evident. Yet, for a client who values consistent, proactive communication and more hand-holding through the process, there is room for improvement. He resolved our core issue competently, but the overall client service experience felt merely adequate.
