About the Author
Samuel Lopez is an investigative journalist, legal analyst, and contributor to USA Herald with more than two decades of experience working inside the legal and insurance industries. His reporting focuses on civil litigation, consumer protection, insurer and lender misconduct, and the real-world impact of procedural law on everyday Americans.
Lopez brings perspective to his journalism, drawing on extensive hands-on experience in civil procedure, appellate research, and complex motion practice. He is known for translating dense legal developments—such as changes to California’s summary judgment rules—into clear, actionable reporting that empowers readers to understand their rights and the legal system confronting them.
As a journalist, Lopez emphasizes ethical reporting, evidentiary rigor, and accountability, particularly where institutional power collides with financially distressed individuals. His work regularly examines how courts, corporations, and government policies affect consumers navigating litigation without meaningful resources or representation.
