The Law Office
Founded in 2022
The Law Office of Samual Getrich was founded with a simple idea;
that an attorney who focused on one area of law and kept
his clients to a reasonable number could offer the most
effective service and the best legal defense.
My Vision
I spent almost a decade of my legal career as a prosecutor, culminating in trying arson and arson murder cases in front of Stanislaus county juries.
In 2016, I ended my law enforcement career for a civil law practice, trying personal injury cases. What I came to understand from both of those is that, like any other field, lawyers who focus on one area of law tend to be better in that area than those who try to cover all areas of law.
​
I've been practicing criminal defense law for years, using my trial experience and time as a prosecutor, as well as my reputation and relationships to get better outcomes for my clients.
​
​My vision now is to put my energy into one area of law to better serve my clients in their time of need.
​
I do not practice in every area of law. I practice in one and I do that so I can focus and do it well.
​
You do not hire a welder to do your plumbing, you do not hire a carpenter to lay tile in your bathroom, you do not hire a landscaper to re-roof your house - I will not do your personal injury case nor your divorce or child custody case.
​
I specialize. I do what I do best and I won't sell you anything else.
As part of this effort, I've created a virtual law office which eliminates the overhead costs associated with a lease and staff. These cost savings are passed on to my clients.
The Glory of a Good Lawyer
Is to Win a Bad Trial.
