OUR TEAM
Samantha Sparks
Samantha Sparks is a managing partner of Sparks Law Firm. Sam has focused her practice primarily on Plaintiff's personal injury, consumer protection, and employment law since graduating from St. Louis University School of Law.
Sam understands that each client is unique and has had a different experience, background and goals. Sam’s number one priority is to provide an individualized experience to each client to achieve the best results possible for that specific client. She believes that since no two people are the same, no two cases should be either. This client-focused mindset is what drove Samantha to begin her own law firm.
Working exclusively with plaintiffs, Samantha strives to give a voice to those that are hurt, taken advantage of, or treated unfairly.
In addition to law, Sam loves spending her time with her family and her dog. She loves to relax with a good book or by catching up on her favorite shows.
