Access to Justice Gala

An Evening of Impact:
The Access to Justice Gala

Our Annual Access to Justice Gala is more than a celebration — it is a call to action. Each year, we gather to honor public servants, advocates, and law firms who fight tirelessly for fairness and equality. Their work reminds us that justice is not guaranteed — it must be protected, expanded, and funded.

By joining us, you are not only celebrating champions of justice, you are becoming one. Your support helps LASSB stand beside families facing eviction, survivors of violence seeking safety, seniors fighting for dignity, and countless others who cannot afford legal representation.

Every dollar raised through this Gala goes directly toward providing life-changing legal aid. With your generosity, we can prevent homelessness, hold slumlords accountable, keep families together, and ensure that the promise of justice is real for everyone.

This is your chance to turn compassion into action. Celebrate with us, and help us open the doors of justice even wider.

Celebrating the Heroes of Justice

The Access to Justice Gala is a night dedicated to honoring the public servants, advocates, and law firms who work tirelessly to ensure justice is accessible to everyone—especially those most in need.

This year, we proudly recognize the extraordinary contributions of our Access to Justice Award honorees:

• Judge Marie Moreno Myers

• Sam Price, Attorney

By attending, you’re not just celebrating these champions—you’re helping fuel the mission of the Legal Aid Society of San Bernardino (LASSB) to break down legal barriers and build bridges of hope.

Together, we can create a future where justice is a right, not a privilege. Join us as we celebrate these inspiring heroes and recommit ourselves to justice for all.

Become a Donor

⚖️ Justice Shouldn’t Come With a Price Tag

For too many in our community, access to justice depends on income—and that’s a reality we must change.

Our Access to Justice Gala celebrates the advocates, volunteers, and supporters who ensure that poverty never equals powerlessness in our courts. These heroes give families hope, children protection, and communities a stronger voice.

But they cannot do it alone.

Your gift is more than a donation—it’s a lifeline. It’s stability for a family facing eviction. It’s a champion for a child in need. It’s a voice for those too often silenced.

✨ You can be the difference. Sponsor, host a table, buy a ticket, or make a gift today. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps tip the scales toward fairness for all.

[Click here to join us.] Together, we can create a world where justice is not a privilege—but a right.

Sam Price
Managing Attorney
Price Law Firm, APC

R. Sam Price is an experienced and highly educated attorney who’s passionate about helping others. Sam’s exceptional talent is to make complicated legal jargon and court procedures, simple and easy to comprehend.

Sam graduated with honors from Western New England College School of Law and earned an LL.M. in Taxation from New York University School of Law. He has practiced law for 25 years and is the Managing Attorney of Price Law Firm, APC, where he guides families through the complexities of probate and estate planning with a rare combination of legal expertise, compassion, and the occasional dad joke that may or may not land. A Certified Specialist in Estate Planning, Trust, and Probate Law by the California Board of Legal Specialization, Sam is known for making daunting legal processes understandable—and even, on a good day, less intimidating.

Sam’s commitment to service extends beyond his clients. He serves on the Executive Committee of the California Lawyers Association Trusts and Estates Section, is Chair of the Estate Planning, Trust & Probate Section of the San Bernardino County Bar Association, is an Atticus Practice Advisor helping other attorneys build great practices and live a great life, and sits on the boards of both the SBCBA and the Inland Empire Estate Planning Seminar. Committed to being a lifelong learner and mentor, Sam is a frequent MCLE presenter, the host of the Probate Notes podcast, and the author of two books: The 6-Stage Probate ProcessTM: How to Navigate California Probate and Impactful Estate Planning: How Family Dynamics, Goals, and Wishes Influence Leaving Your Inheritance and Legacy.

Having grown up in San Bernardino, Sam has dedicated his career to serving the local community. Today, he lives and works in Redlands, where he continues to build connections and advocate for access to justice. His approach to probate is grounded in empathy—he knows clients often come to him during some of the hardest moments of their lives with a problem that they can’t solve on their own, and he strives to provide clarity, dignity, and a sense of forward momentum.

When Sam isn’t in the office, in the courtroom, teaching a class, or on a podcast microphone, he can be found with his British TV reporter wife, Tiffany, and their eight-year-old son, Parker, likely on a hiking trail, at a community event, or building elaborate LEGO creations that Parker takes credit for (and rightly so).
