There are no reports of Sam Bregman being convicted of or indicted for fraud, bribery, or personal criminal misconduct. His career has involved legal and political controversies, though none have resulted in criminal charges against him.
In his professional practice as a defense attorney, Bregman represented high-profile clients accused of serious crimes, including public corruption and murder cases. One former client, Joe Anthony Montoya, was convicted of bribery and fraud in 2014. Another client, Robert Vigil, was convicted of one count of extortion following a kickback scheme.
In September 2025, Bregman faced criticism when portions of his gubernatorial policy platform were found to be copied from government and news reports without attribution. Additionally, Bregman has been involved in public disputes with political opponents regarding campaign rhetoric and the publication of property records.
