Attorney at Law

Sam Meshbesher is passionate about vigorously advocating for clients in the arena of civil litigation. Mr. Meshbesher has represented cities, nonprofits, and businesses in a diverse range of industries including healthcare, housing, finance, energy, construction, cybersecurity, veterinary services, marketing, hospitality, retail sales, and manufacturing. He has helped clients navigate contract, shareholder, employment, malpractice, and housing claims in state and federal court.

Mr. Meshbesher has substantial experience representing clients in employment disputes brought under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VII, the Minnesota Human Rights Act, the North Dakota Human Rights Act, and the Minnesota Whistleblower Act. He advises clients on developments in local, state, and federal labor laws, responds to demand letters and charges of discrimination, and helps clients navigate motion practice, fact discovery, agency hearings, and trial.

Mr. Meshbesher also uses research skills gained as a historian for the State of Minnesota to help clients tell their story from start to finish. He knows that each client’s business is unique, and takes the time to find the details which can make a difference in a case’s outcome.

From motion practice to trial, Mr. Meshbesher has helped clients achieve their litigation goals.

When a former employee of a client bakery sought $10 million in damages for wrongful termination, Mr. Meshbesher assisted the client in securing a total damages award of one dollar.
