About Samantha

Biography

Have a Problem? We can Fix it. I specialize in Estate Planning, Trusts, and Guardianships. I founded this firm to offer a "Digital Concierge" experience: flat fees, direct access, and no surprises. I replace the stuffy law firm model with accessible, efficient counsel to protect your family and your

Aging is expensive; losing your life savings doesn't have to be the price. I help families navigate Medicaid planning and asset protection to ensure your loved ones get the care they need without sacrificing the legacy they built. Don't wait for a crisis to plan.

If you don't have a plan, New York State has one for you—and you won't like it. I create clear, custom Wills and directives to keep your family out of court. I lived the nightmare of losing a parent with no plan; I’m here to make sure your family doesn’t have to.

Falling behind on your mortgage is terrifying, but it’s not the end. I have successfully helped distressed homeowners—specifically in the Bronx—navigate the complex foreclosure system to save their properties. You have rights. Let me help you fight for them.

Watching a loved one lose capacity is heartbreaking. The Article 81 Guardianship process is complex but necessary to protect vulnerable adults from harm. I handle these sensitive court proceedings with the speed and compassion your family needs during a crisis.

New York housing law is a minefield. With a background in property management and the law, I understand the realities of the lease on both sides. Whether you are an owner or a tenant, I focus on practical, quick resolutions to keep you out of endless litigation.

Losing a loved one is hard enough without the paperwork. Whether it's a simple Administration or a complex Probate battle, I handle the court filings, creditor claims, and asset distribution so you can focus on grieving. I make the process transparent and flat-fee.

A Will is a public admission ticket to Probate court. A Trust is a private vault for your family's future. I design Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts to avoid probate delays, minimize taxes, and protect your beneficiaries from creditors and bad decisions.

Samantha got the job done!

While on an overseas deployment, I had received a citation for a Dept of Buildings violation that I was not responsible for. Due to my deployment, I was unable to appear at hearings to defend myself. For a year, Samantha diligently reviewed my case and appeared at hearings on my behalf. Upon my retur...n, I met with Samantha and we discussed how we would proceeed. Once we had a plan in place, we went to the hearings which resulted in a dismissal. Thank you Sam!

Citizenship Effort

Samantha diligently worked on my behalf to achieve my dream of becoming a U.S. citizen. The process was a long and strenuous one. Frustration led me to a point of hopelessness, seriously considering giving up on this endeavor. For Samantha this was not an option for me. Instead, her positive atti...tude and continued encouragement pushed me to continue with my dream. On July 30, 2018 I was officially sworn in as a U.S. citizen. This date just so happened to also be the day of my son's birthday, which made this occasion that much sweeter.

I did all the work!

Don't believe these other reviews they're probably from friends.It's been a complete nightmare. This woman told me I needed to organize my own information. She also told me I had to get addresses and phone numbers for people. And kept on hounding me as to why I didn't get the addresses. She created a...ffidavits that were misspelled. Gave me the wrong job title. And couldn't spell my mother's name. I have to call her, email her, and text her, for days on in to get an answer. She'll tell me to do one thing. And then a week or two goes by and she brings up something else to do. This woman could care less. Once she gets the money she doesn't care. She claims she's so busy doing signings which is egregious. Basically telling me she's too busy to tend to my case but I'm supposed to care that she's busy with other cases! She makes it a point to to make an excuse telling you that she'll take some money off to get all the money. Once she gets all the money she does less than she did before. All that she's done so far paralegal could have done. My mother's life hangs in the balance and she just keeps dragging it on. This has been the worst experience of my life! Avoid at all costs!

I am sorry you feel this way. I know that your type of matter is very stressful. I can only work with the information I am given, and the court requires specific information that, as a client, you need to provide, i.e., the names and addresses. Regarding the affidavits, the ones you drafted were not viable for submission to the court. I did not request that you draft the affidavit, but since you provided it, I moved forward with correcting it. Thus, I drafted significantly more affidavits for your case than usual. Additionally, I drafted supporting evidence affidavits that you chose not to use. Instead, you drafted something that would not be admissible in court. You had me then use what you had drafted, which took significant time to make it admissible, including drafting a supporting Memorandum of Law, to support the inclusion of this evidence. Furthermore, the things you are requesting are not only outside my scope but also outside the court's scope. Finally, I did receive a temporary order in your favor and continue to work towards making it permanent. I did all this for a flat fee, while most attorneys bill hourly. The hourly work on your matter far exceeded expectations because I had to make documents fit your wishes instead of following the court's required format.
