Sam has a passion for snowboarding, his favorite pastime: "Some of my sweetest life experiences have been on mountain tops covered with fresh powder, snowboarding with friends and family." After graduating from UCLA Law School (Order of the Coif) in 1993, Sam joined Tuttle & Taylor, where he launched his legal career practicing commercial litigation and bankruptcy. "Tuttle & Taylor was a great firm from a bygone era, when lawyers considered the practice of law more as a profession, and not just a business," Sam says, "and what I like about Lim Ruger is that it combines the best traditions from that bygone era, with the sound business practices needed to thrive in the 21st century." He notes with pride that many Lim Ruger attorneys are vigorous advocates of equal justice. For many years, Sam has been a member of the board of directors of Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles County, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing free legal services to low-income families. At Lim Ruger, Sam continues to practice commercial litigation and bankruptcy, with an emphasis on creditors’ rights. According to Sam: "The current financial crisis engulfing the globe has shown that creditors have to be careful in structuring credit transactions and enforcing their rights as creditors. California has a very complex web of rules governing enforcement of secured obligations, including the anti-deficiency statute, the one action rule and the security first rule. A credit transaction carelessly structured at the outset -- or a misstep in enforcing a secured obligation -- can handcuff a creditor’s ability to recover, so creditors really have to be careful to avoid potential pitfalls in structuring and enforcing secured obligations." Sam strongly advises creditors obtaining or enforcing security interests to involve competent counsel early in the process. |
