ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Samuel Lopez is an investigative journalist and legal analyst for USA Herald whose reporting is shaped by more than two decades inside the legal system. Before turning his focus fully to journalism, Lopez spent over 20 years working in the legal field, developing and refining advanced skills in evidence analysis, case strategy, credibility assessment, and fact verification—skills typically reserved for courtrooms, not newsrooms.
Today, Lopez applies that same disciplined, forensic approach not on behalf of judges, prosecutors, attorneys, or litigants, but in service of the public. His reporting is built for readers who want the truth of the matter—unfiltered, un-sanitized, and unburdened by institutional bias. Rather than repeating official narratives or one-sided talking points, Lopez examines primary sources, challenges assumptions, and follows facts wherever they lead, including into areas others prefer remain unexplored.
At USA Herald, his work is guided by a simple principle: readers deserve the full picture. That means reporting not only what is said publicly, but also what is omitted, obscured, or strategically avoided. By combining legal precision with investigative rigor, Lopez delivers reporting that is direct, accountable, and transparent—giving readers access to the facts that matter most.
