Knowledgeable and Professional

Sameera represented me on a case and put my anxiety at ease with the whole process. She is very knowledgeable in what she does. It was a pleasure working with her. She walked me through every step of the process and explained everything as we went along. Her patience and calm personality put me at ea...se.

Criminal case

Good lawyer she just didn’t have enough experience and faith in herself to paint my truth. She didn’t think my truth would win my case. I won my case with another lawyer. She was truthful just lacked confidence in herself.

Posted by Zuleima | April 05, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Highly recommended Custody Attorney

Ms. Ali represented me in a custody and child support case. We won both cases even through the pandemic delays. She was very thorough from the beginning of my case until the conclusion and until today, keeping me updated on deadlines and checking that I am receiving the support that was ordered. She ...went through all the possibilities of my case and my options and guided me every step of the way, at times we would have hour long consultations over one question but she always answered all of them. She helped me gather all the necessary documentation to present and submit. She also followed up with the courts to assure documents were completed and filed on a timely manner. I would recommend her and continue to recommend her to anyone I know looking for legal assistance. I highly recommend her, she explains everything from the first consult up until the case is open and follows up throughout the deadlines. She is also very compassionate about your case and listens to one's thoughts to help discern the best approach for your case.

Very knowledgeable and compassionate

Early this month an event occurred that devastated my family. I was referred to Sameera Ali by another attorney to help me navigate through all the family court protective order jargon. I was struggling to understand why this was happening and fearful of what I thought might happen during my hearing.... Sameera was patient and thorough explaining every detail. She answered all my questions and gave solid guidance. I called her the day before I was to appear for my hearing. I was a ball of nerves and very emotional but she was patient and compassionate with me. Sameera thoroughly guided me through the protective order process in accordance to VA law and Social Services letting me know what to expect. Ms. Ali even provided me with concise notes on points to make during the hearing in an email the morning after our call. I felt grounded and prepared because of her guidance, knowledge and thoroughness. Shortly after my hearing Sameera REACHED OUT TO ME for an update and answered my questions and provided additional well-needed advice. It is very evident that Ms. Ali is committed to making a difference for people and being a contribution for those in need. I called her for a consultation and I received peace of mind, strength and power. Sameera Ali, Esq is an extraordinary human being and a brilliant attorney. She will always be in my contacts.

Lease Dispute Assistance - Very Impressed!

Ms. Ali assisted me with a lease dispute with my landlord, and it was immediately apparent that she is by far one of the brightest people I have ever met. She’s a dedicated advocate with a comprehensive understanding of the legal system. Ms. Ali provided high-quality advice in a manner that was profe...ssional and intelligent, while remaining understandable. She works tirelessly for her clients and diligently focuses on each case to achieve the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend her services to those in need of legal counsel.
