About Samantha L.
Samantha L. Dammer earned a B.A. in English from St. Xavier University in 1993. She went on to attend Valparaiso University School of Law and received her J.D. in 1998. Those formative years set a steady course toward practice in both state and federal arenas.
After law school she entered private practice. Over time she handled matters in multiple jurisdictions, building experience across civil and appellate work. In 2009 she assumed the role of managing lawyer at Tampa Law Advocates, P.A., a private law office where she oversees case strategy and office operations.
Her career spans admission to state bars in Florida and Illinois. She is also admitted to practice before the Federal Circuit and the United States Supreme Court. Those credentials allow her to file matters and appear in a broad range of courts, from trial dockets to appellate panels.
Colleagues describe her as pragmatic and detail-oriented in court preparation. She has worked on cases that required coordinating filings across jurisdictions and briefing complex legal questions for higher courts. Her experience includes drafting appellate briefs and preparing records for review, tasks that demand careful legal writing and attention to procedural deadlines.
Dammer maintains professional memberships and stays engaged with bar activities. She has taken part in continuing legal education and has kept current on developments in both state and federal practice. In managing a private office she also handles the administrative and supervisory duties that come with running a small firm, including mentoring junior lawyers and overseeing client intake.
Her work is grounded in courtroom procedure and appellate advocacy. She handles matters in state and federal courts and coordinates filings where multi-jurisdictional issues arise. Today she continues as managing lawyer at Tampa Law Advocates, P.A., practicing in Florida and Illinois and appearing in federal courts including the Federal Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court.
