About Samer Habbas & Associates
Samer Habbas & Associates works from nine offices across California and Arizona, and names 17 attorneys.
It publishes 93 case results with amounts of its own, the longest such list of any firm listed in San Diego, and they are its figures rather than ones we confirmed. 771 reviews at 4.93 across nine listings. A free consultation, a 24 hour line and pages in Spanish, published. It publishes nothing about the rate or the retainer.
What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
LFL Distinguished 2026
Scored 78 out of 100 on measured evidence, above the 85 this tier requires, with every eligibility gate its state allows us to check cleared.
No public discipline
No named attorney carries a disbarment, a suspension or a disciplinary resignation on the State Bar of California's record, across the 13 we identified. Administrative suspensions, which the State Bar states are non-disciplinary, are not counted here
771 client reviews
Counted across 9 verified Google Business Profile listings, not collected by us and not solicited through us.
4.93 average over 771 reviews
A high rating is easy at low volume and hard to hold at this one. Pillar C scores it against the market rather than against five stars.
Service in Spanish
Published by the firm on its own pages, which is how this was measured rather than assumed from a name.
93 results published
Across 9 case types on the firm's own site. We read the page and counted what is on it; the amounts are the firm's and we have not confirmed them.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Samer Habbas & Associates charge?
Samer Habbas & Associates publishes no fee terms on the pages we read, so none is recorded on this profile. An absence here is not a claim that the firm has no fee arrangement, only that it does not state one publicly. The rate itself is not published, so ask for it in writing, along with how case expenses are handled and whether they come out of the recovery before or after the fee. The first consultation is free, which is the place to ask.
Does Samer Habbas & Associates offer a free consultation?
Yes. Samer Habbas & Associates publishes a free initial consultation. The intake line is published as open around the clock and it publishes material in Spanish.
Where does Samer Habbas & Associates have offices?
Samer Habbas & Associates publishes nine offices, among them Irvine, Ontario, Phoenix and Riverside. Addresses and the Google listing behind each one are on this profile under Offices.
Who are the attorneys at Samer Habbas & Associates?
Samer Habbas & Associates names 17 attorneys on its own site, and each is listed on this profile with the page we read them from. They have not been checked against a state register: California does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state's own attorney search is the place to check it.
Are the case results Samer Habbas & Associates publishes verified?
No. Samer Habbas & Associates publishes 93 case results with amounts on its own site. We counted them and we did not confirm them: the figures are the firm's. Pillar B scores whether a firm publishes outcomes and discloses them properly, including whether a prior-results disclaimer appears beside them, not whether the amounts are right. Past results do not predict another case.
What has Law Firm Listings verified about Samer Habbas & Associates?
Samer Habbas & Associates scores 78 and sits at Certified. Passed: website and footprint. Could not be answered from any public source and therefore counts neither for nor against the firm: licensure, discipline and entity registration. Every row of the scorecard above names where the value came from and when it was read. Nothing on this profile was supplied by the firm for payment, and no placement here can be bought.
