Samantha Padalino

Paralegal

Samantha Padalino, known affectionately as Sammy, is a dedicated paralegal who recently joined Barbieri Law Firm, bringing with her a wealth of experience in legal support and client relations.

Sammy graduated from the University of Arkansas with a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies, focusing on Psychology, History, and Legal Studies. Her academic foundation provided a comprehensive understanding of human behavior, historical context, and legal principles, which she applies daily in her professional role. Her senior thesis focused on the assessment of competency to stand trial and evaluations of intellectual disabilities in criminal defendants in the American Justice System.

Her career journey began in Boston where Sammy worked as a paralegal for 2 consecutive years, refining her skills in case management, legal research, and client communication. Her detail-oriented approach and commitment to excellence have consistently contributed to successful outcomes for clients.

"Being deeply passionate about ensuring fair representation for criminal defendants in court", she explains, is what keeps her committed to her work. "Being involved in any criminal situation is hard on people and I want them to know that I still care about the person behind the crime." Her commitment to justice is evident in her dedicated efforts to support and advocate for defendants, ensuring their rights are upheld and they receive equitable treatment throughout legal proceedings. Her enthusiasm for this cause drives her professional endeavors and underscores her role as a steadfast advocate within the legal community.

Now at Barbieri Law Firm, Sammy continues to demonstrate her passion for the legal profession by supporting attorneys and clients alike with efficiency and empathy. Her proactive attitude and strong work ethic make her a valuable asset to the team, ensuring that every case receives meticulous attention and strategic support.

Outside of work, Sammy enjoys exploring new cuisines, traveling to new places, spending time with family and friends, and being an Arkansas Razorback fan any chance she gets.
