Our team

The people on your case.

Samantha Sparks founded the firm and leads every case. Sean Mines joins as of counsel on consumer protection and employment matters.

Managing partner

Samantha Sparks

Sam is the managing partner of Sparks Law Firm. Since graduating from Saint Louis University School of Law she has focused her practice on plaintiff's personal injury, consumer protection and employment law.

No two people are the same, so no two cases should be either. Sam's first priority is an individual experience for each client, built around that client's background, their situation and their goals. That client-first way of working is why she started her own firm.

Working only with plaintiffs, Sam gives a voice to people who have been hurt, taken advantage of, or treated unfairly.

Away from the law, Sam spends her time with her family and her dog, a good book, or catching up on her favorite shows.
