Meet Samson Spiegelman
Samson Spiegelman is a plaintiff’s employment attorney who has worked alongside highly regarded lawyers on employment disputes. After two years in Big Law and two at a plaintiff’s firm, he founded Spiegelman Law PC in 2022 to focus his practice on representing workers, particularly queer and trans people navigating difficult workplace experiences.
Samson is a transgender man with deep ties to the LGBTQ+ community. He studied gender and sexuality at Tulane University and earned his J.D. from UCLA Law, where he graduated from the Critical Race Studies program. That experience helps Samson see the bigger picture and connect what happened to you at work with the legal protections that may apply.
Discrimination in Los Angeles
From entertainment and hospitality to retail, and tech, Los Angeles workers can experience discrimination in various workplaces. Maybe opportunities disappeared after you came out, requested medical leave, or disclosed a disability. Maybe race, national origin, gender identity, or sexual orientation changed how you were treated. California law provides important workplace protections, and Samson Spiegelman can help you connect what happened to the law and understand whether you may have a discrimination claim.
Harassment in
Los Angeles
Harassment can look different across LA’s workplaces: from inappropriate behavior on an entertainment set to racist comments in an office or repeated misgendering in a retail job. Sometimes, harassment is blatant; sometimes it builds slowly until work feels hostile. Samson helps Los Angeles workers look at the full pattern, understand when workplace bullying or harassment may cross a legal line, and determine what options you may have to address your concerns.
Wrongful Termination in
Los Angeles
Maybe you were fired soon after reporting harassment, requesting medical leave, coming out, or pushing back against something happening at work. The timing can feel suspicious, but figuring out whether a termination was unlawful takes a closer look at the full story. Samson helps Los Angeles workers connect the timeline and workplace patterns to California employment law and determine whether wrongful termination or retaliation may have played a role.
