Sam did an outstanding job helping me with my case. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly supportive throughout the process. He made me feel heard, took my concerns seriously, and handled everything with confidence and skill. I was extremely happy with the outcome of my case and very grateful for his help. I have recommended Sam to several friends who needed a labor attorney for a case, and I still get thanked for how helpful he was in getting them an outcome they were happy with. I absolutely recommend Sam Nielson and Elite Employment Law to anyone in need of strong employment law representation.

Sam is an extremely compassionate and knowledgeable lawyer. From the beginning of the process to its completion, Sam kept me up-to-date and clearly explained the current status and what steps and/or options were to take place next. He is quick to respond and I felt extremely confident with him at my side. I highly recommend Sam for any and all employment questions or concerns.

Samuel P. Nielson of Elite Employment Law has represented me twice—most recently on a complex retaliation + unpaid‑overtime matter—and both times he exceeded expectations. Sam’s communication is lightning‑fast: my first inquiry was answered within the hour and every follow‑up arrived the same day, clear and honest about risks. His strategy was razor‑sharp; he mapped each phase, anticipated opposing moves, and negotiated relentlessly. Throughout, he showed genuine empathy, keeping stress down while keeping me informed. I can’t share settlement specifics, but I’m thrilled with the outcome and the empowering way it was achieved. If you need an employment lawyer who pairs deep legal expertise with fierce advocacy and true client care, hire Sam. I’ve already referred friends and wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

Whistleblower Litigation

Hired Attorney

Sam's firm, Sessions and Kimble, was highly recommended by family attorneys and a respectable OC law firm. This was important because numerous law firms I spoke with, prior to speaking with Sam, were "ambulance chaser" firms/attorneys and were only concerned with a quick buck. Sam actually listened, and although the case was far from a slam dunk, he took the case with a positive outlook. I'm a police officer, and the case was against the city I work for. My case was a whistle blower case in which officers who use to work with me as equals, were promoted and used an investigation I started over a decade ago against me in promotional and special assignment processes. Because cities are protected against actions that took place more then 6 months prior, I had to file an HR complaint. The complaint was never fully investigated, so the lawsuit was filled. Sam was able to get half of our original demand in the settlement, our original asking amount minus promotional pay in retirement.
