Born and raised in Dallas, Sameer Sadiq Assanie is the proud son of immigrants and an attorney with a real passion for the people he represents. He comes from a family with deep knowledge of personal injury law, and from two places most trial lawyers never pass through: a newsroom and the United States Capitol.
He earned a journalism degree at the University of Texas at Austin, then served as communications director to a senior member of the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, D.C., with extensive experience across federal, state, and county government. Multiple judicial internships with a long-tenured Dallas County trial judge taught him how the system actually works from the inside.
Since joining J. Alexander Law, Sameer has overseen and assisted in dozens of cases involving car accidents, 18-wheeler collisions, bicyclists, and pedestrians. He has won judgments for his clients at trial, including results over policy limits, and has successfully argued motions that put his clients in a stronger position. He assists clients in Urdu, Hindi, Gujarati, and Sindhi. Away from the practice, he is a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan and enjoys writing and photography.
