Sam Elsherbini

Criminal Defense & Family Law Attorney

Clients frequently describe Sam as personable, diligent, and service-oriented—qualities he takes great pride in bringing to every case.

Sam Elsherbini is a dedicated criminal defense and family law attorney who blends legal skill with a deep sense of service and advocacy. His straightforward, communicative approach helps clients feel heard, respected, and supported throughout their legal journey. Born in New York City and raised in Jersey City, New Jersey, Sam is the first child of Egyptian Muslim immigrants who instilled in him the values of hard work, education, and community involvement—lessons that shaped his belief that differences are opportunities for growth, not barriers.

Before entering the legal field, Sam earned a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and spent ten years as a community pharmacist in New Jersey and North Carolina. Witnessing firsthand how systems often failed the people they were meant to serve, he was inspired to pursue law, driven by a passion for standing up for individuals whose voices often go unheard.

Sam believes that the true purpose of being an attorney is not status or power, but fighting for the “little guy.” Every morning, he is motivated by the opportunity to protect his clients’ rights and help them pursue the American Dream with dignity and fairness.

Having personally experienced divorce and navigating joint custody of his three sons, Sam brings empathy and real-life understanding to his family law practice. His personal experiences allow him to connect with his clients on a deeper level, especially during some of the most challenging times in their lives.

Sam’s guiding philosophy is zealous advocacy tempered by the rules. He is committed to achieving the best outcomes for his clients while maintaining the highest professional standards.

Outside of his legal work, Sam is deeply involved in his community. He enjoys coaching his sons’ sports teams, leading Boy Scouts activities, and providing pro bono legal services for veterans. His passion for service, both in and out of the courtroom, reflects his lifelong dedication to helping others.

“Sam's commitment to his clients and his passion for the law make him a top attorney. His results speak volumes about his success and expertise.”
