Samuel Dampt

Samuel practices in a variety of civil transactional and litigation matters. His focus is primarily on business transactions and litigation, but he handles a wide range of other matters, including franchise organization and document preparation; real estate disputes; collection and collection defense; contract drafting, review, and litigation; and other civil matters.

Samuel is one of the few lawyers in Arizona who has experience preparing and submitting applications to the Arizona Supreme Court for businesses seeking licensing as Alternative Business Structures, a new development in Arizona law specific to this state.
