Meet Sam Heaney

Sam’s meticulous research and attention to detail makes him a valuable member of our litigation team. He developed these traits through years of having his mother, a college English professor, show him no mercy while editing his papers. Sam joined Martin Pringle as an associate attorney in 2014, having clerked at the firm for two summers during law school. He obtained his law degree from the University of Iowa College of Law, where he was managing editor of The Journal of Corporation Law. He graduated magna cum laude from Saint Louis University, where he earned a pre-law certificate as well as a bachelor’s degree in communication.

Sam assists the firm's clients in the defense of claims including commercial, homeowner's, and auto liability as well as in the pursuit and defense of business disputes. He also works extensively with nursing, rehabilitation, and senior living facilities, representing those businesses in nursing home negligence defense, guardianships, and creditor's claims.

Sam is a huge Iowa Hawkeyes fan and enjoys playing soccer, golf, fantasy football and family time when he is away from the office. He practices in the areas of civil and commercial litigation, insurance defense, and creditor's rights, including the representation of nursing and senior care facilities.
