Working with Samantha Culshaw was an absolute pleasure. Her expertise in non-profit and charities law was evident from our first consultation, where she carefully assessed our organization's legal needs with a depth of knowledge that put us at ease. Samantha’s meticulous approach ensured all our compliance documents were in order, and her strategic advice during a critical restructuring phase was invaluable. Her recognition as Lawyer of the Year in this field speaks volumes, but what truly sets her apart is her ability to translate complex legal concepts into actionable steps. She handled our case with precision and compassion, always prioritizing our mission and goals. Highly recommended for any organization seeking a dedicated and skilled attorney.
Laura Smith
I engaged Samantha Culshaw of Thomson Geer for a legal matter involving nonprofit compliance in San Francisco. While her expertise in non-profit law was evident—especially given her Lawyer of the Year recognition in Australia—there were areas where my experience felt underwhelming. She demonstrated a strong grasp of the complex regulations governing 501(c)(3) organizations, which was reassuring. However, the communication process was inconsistent. I often had to follow up to get responses, and updates on case developments were not as timely as I would have liked. The final outcome was satisfactory, but I felt the process could have been smoother. Her knowledge of health and aged care law, which also aligns with her awards, suggests she’s well-versed in regulatory compliance, but the lack of proactive communication detracted from the overall experience. For straightforward legal tasks, she’s competent, but if you prioritize responsiveness, you might want to clarify expectations upfront.

I worked with Samantha Culshaw on a non-profit legal matter, and while her expertise in the field was evident, I found the overall experience to be just okay. She handled the case competently, leveraging her background in general practice and her recognized awards in non-profit and charities law. However, the communication was often slow, and I had to follow up multiple times for updates. The wait times between responses were longer than I expected, which made the process feel a bit drawn out. That said, her knowledge of the relevant laws and regulations was impressive, and she did ultimately secure a favorable outcome. If she improved her responsiveness and clarity in explaining next steps, I’d give a higher rating. As it stands, she’s good but not great.
Joseph Cox
I had the pleasure of working with Samantha Culshaw on a complex estate planning matter for a family-run nonprofit. Her deep expertise in nonprofit and health law, combined with her awards in these areas, provided us with unparalleled insight. Samantha's ability to navigate regulatory challenges unique to charitable organizations made a difficult process far more manageable. She was not only meticulous in her approach but also remarkably responsive, always taking the time to explain legal jargon in a way that was easy to understand. The outcome was exactly what we needed, and I have no doubt her recognition as a Lawyer of the Year in these fields is well-deserved. Highly recommend for nonprofit and elder law needs.
Deborah Flores
I worked with Samantha Culshaw on a small non-profit legal matter, and while her expertise in the field was evident, the experience left me feeling that there were some areas for improvement. Samantha’s understanding of non-profit and aged care law, as highlighted by her Lawyer of the Year recognitions, clearly came through in her advice. However, the communication was somewhat inconsistent, and I often found myself waiting longer than expected for responses. The legal work itself was thorough and well-researched, but the lack of proactive updates made the process feel less seamless. Samantha’s knowledge in health and retirement law was a strong point, but I would have appreciated clearer timelines and more frequent check-ins. Overall, she’s a capable attorney, but I’d suggest setting realistic expectations around communication and follow-ups.
Kenneth Collins
Samantha Culshaw is clearly a skilled attorney with a strong background in general practice and notable recognition in health and aged care law. She handled my nonprofit’s compliance review with competence, leveraging her expertise to identify key areas for improvement. However, I found the communication during the process to be somewhat sporadic, and I frequently had to follow up to get updates. The timelines were also a bit longer than I expected, given the straightforward nature of the legal work involved. While the final outcome was solid, the experience could have been smoother with better responsiveness. Her knowledge is undeniable, but I would have appreciated more proactive updates and clearer expectations from the start. Overall, a competent but not exceptional experience.
Andrew Anderson
Samantha Culshaw of Thomson Geer in San Francisco has been a remarkable ally in navigating the intricacies of my family's elderly care arrangements. With her extensive experience in Health and Aged Care Law, she expertly guided us through the process, ensuring our elderly loved ones received the appropriate care and support. Her recognition as 'Lawyer of the Year' in this area is truly deserved. However, one minor area of improvement I'd suggest is to possibly expedite response times, especially during busy periods, to better cater to the pressing needs of clients. Regardless, I wholeheartedly recommend Samantha for her professionalism, expertise, and empathetic approach.
Katherine Rogers
I engaged Samantha Culshaw for a non-profit legal matter, and while her expertise in the field was evident—especially given her recognition as Lawyer of the Year—there were some areas where the experience fell short. Her understanding of the complexities of charitable law was strong, and she provided sound advice on compliance and governance. However, communication could have been more proactive, and I often had to follow up to get updates. Additionally, the response times were slower than I expected, which made the process feel drawn out. While I appreciate her knowledge and professionalism, I had hoped for a more seamless experience. For routine or straightforward matters, she’s capable, but for clients needing a more hands-on approach, this may not be the best fit.
Brenda Rodriguez
Working with Samantha Culshaw was an absolute pleasure. Her expertise in general practice law, especially in areas like non-profit and health law, was evident from our first meeting. She handled my organization's complex contract negotiations with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every clause aligned with our mission and legal standing. Samantha's awards, including Lawyer of the Year in Non-Profit and Health Law, truly reflect her dedication. She provided clear, strategic advice and was always available to address concerns promptly. Her professionalism, combined with a genuine personal touch, made the process seamless. The outcome exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be more grateful for her guidance. Highly recommend Samantha for anyone needing a lawyer who truly cares about their clients.
