David Samuels

Biography

I have nearly 35 years of personal injury litigation and mediation experience and I firmly believe mediation is an incredible process that affords the parties the opportunity to explore the facts, strengths, and weaknesses of their dispute in a safe environment where they are empowered to take control of the resolution. I have successfully resolved thousands of personal injury matters, including a multitude of high-exposure cases spanning industries such as construction, hospitality, commercial auto and property, ridesharing, trucking, and public property. ​

Prior to joining Signature Resolution, I was a vice-chair of Lewis Brisbois’ Hospitality Practice and an integral member of the Complex Business & Commercial Litigation Department. My professional career includes a 17-year partnership at Michelman & Robinson, LLP where my practice was devoted to personal injury and administrative litigation. I was also an associate attorney at the Law Offices of Allan Sigel, and at Fonda and Hilberman. My legal career began as a research attorney for the Los Angeles Superior Court. Across these various roles, I have honed my skills in mediation and negotiation and built a track record of successful resolutions that spans decades. ​

I have been recognized as a top attorney in Southern California by Super Lawyers and received Martindale-Hubbell’s highest AV Preeminent rating.
