About Us

Based in Folsom CA with an office in Irvine CA, Samuel Hale is a data-driven entrepreneurial organization with a history of incubating new companies focused on Technology, Insurance, and Employment. Samuel Hale is truly unique and one of only 70 entities and municipalities granted the special designation by the State of California to resolve workers comp disputes directly with employees eliminating attorneys, fraudulent claims, and litigation costs. We enable our clients to “take back their business” in an environment where employment costs, HR compliance and workers’ compensation premiums have prevented California business owners from focusing on what they do best... running their companies.
