Stephen (Sami) B. Mashney

Sami Bishara el-Mashney was born on the fourth of July in the then sleepy Ramallah, Occupied Palestine. From childhood, Sami exhibited compassion for others as exemplified by his adoption of stray cats and dogs of his neighborhood, to the protestations of his dad. 

Sami received his Bachelor of Pharmacy degree from Cairo University, Egypt, and worked as a pharmacist in Ramallah. He soon immigrated to and chose making America to be his new home. He lived with his family in Jacksonville, FL where he quickly accredited his Egyptian pharmacy education and received his second Bachelor of Pharmacy degree from the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL. 

Stephen was licensed and worked as a pharmacist in Florida. He then moved to San Rafael, Marin County, CA, and became licensed to practice pharmacy in California. 

Sami realized that the mundane count-and-pour pharmacy environment was insufficiently-challenging to him. So, while working as a full-time grave-yard shift pharmacist, Stephen enrolled in a four-year night-time law school program at San Francisco Law School, San Francisco, CA.   

Stephen received his Jurisprudence Doctorate (J.D. or law) degree from San Francisco Law School. He then passed the California Bar examination on his first attempt and was admitted to practice law in California.   

In 1994, Stephen made Orange County and Anaheim his permanent home and place of business. He founded Mashney Law Offices in Anaheim without working for any attorney employer.   

Today, Mashney Law Offices has grown and continues to grow from a one person operation to a reputable, multi-faceted, five-attorney law firm managing cases in various California and Federal courts, encompassing medical malpractice, personal injury, automobile accidents, other serious accidents, wrongful death, drowning, sexual harassment, dog bites, bedbugs, products' liability, workers' compensation, civil litigation, criminal defense, DUI and DMV, bankruptcy, loan modification, real estate, immigration, naturalization, family law, dissolution, custody, support, estate planning, taxation, wills and trusts.   

In addition to the aforementioned, Stephen has been or is now active in professional, civic, and charitable organizations including:  

The Orange County Bar Association (OCBA)

Orange County Trial Lawyers Association (OCTLA)

Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAALA)

Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC)

Network of Arab American Professionals of Orange County (NAAP-OC), Founder

Young Men Christian Association (YMCA) of OC, Board member

Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, former board member

Publisher of The Independent Monitor newspaper www.TIMonitor.com 

Sami enjoys spending quality time with his wife, daughter and son, photography, publishing, writing, public speaking, community organizing, mentoring, tutoring, motivating others, and charitable and educational work.
