Expert, Empathetic Counsel

Samantha sees around corners to anticipate risk and offers concrete, practical counsel to protect the client's interests. She quickly grasps your priorities as she formulates a plan. She doesn't run up the clock with extraneous items or edits, recognizing your time and money are limited. I appreciate...d her ability to be both candid (telling you when you're wrong) and empathetic (knowing when you're vulnerable). If you're going into battle or want to prevent a battle: she's the captain you want to follow.

Wonderful Divorce Attorney

Samantha was recommended to me by my mediator and I really enjoyed working with her. She was knowledgable, always concerned with protecting my best interests and that I was making rational and objective decisions, and she made the divorce process as smooth as possible. She was detail oriented, very r...esponsive, and always made time for me when I had questions or wanted to walk through things.

Gold aStandard

Samantha came very highly recommended, and she still managed to exceed expectations. She is an empathetic listener who offers thoughtful and realistic advice based on a ton of experience. Though the experience was difficult emotionally, of course, everything she handled went smoothly, and almost alwa...ys as she had predicted. I found her to be hugely supportive and insightful.

Extremely capable and compassionate

Samantha did wonderful work representing me in what turned out to be a case with many atypical pieces. She is intelligent, reasonable, and understanding. She explained each of my options at every step along the way, provided sound advice, and worked seamlessly with other attorneys when needed. She is... honest and hardworking, and always made me feel informed and prepared for each aspect of my case. I would recommend her to my dearest friends!

Trustworthy Divorce Attorney

Samantha did a fantastic job representing me in my contentious divorce. She is knowledgable, hard working and (perhaps most importantly) trustworthy. Samantha spent quite a bit of time, at my request, explaining the law to me and coaching me with regard to options. She offered pros and cons for di...fferent approaches and worked with me to chart a path ahead at each juncture. My divorce was filled with complexity and anger - that sometimes made it difficult for me to react calmly or to make rational decisions. I always knew that I could count on Samantha to peel me off the ceiling, coach me with options and a plan, and put the divorce on track. I always felt the she knew the facts of the case and had a plan - that we executed. I'd surely recommend her to others!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
