A great Attorney

I would definitely hire Samantha again! She was honest, careing and very patient. I like the fact that she was completely honest with me. Telling me everything to expect. She was great about returning phone calls and listening to me with compassion She was completely professional and at the same ti...me treated me as a freind. For all she has done for me recommending her as a lawyer is the least I can do. She is a wonderful lawyer.

Most amazing attorney, EVER!!!

Sam and her team were unbelievable to work with!!! I hired Sam to finalize my divorce and to finally get my ex-husband to pay me child support. Sam fought so hard and finally got my kids the support they deserved. Sam was so sympathetic and caring, but fought hard for us to get the job done!!! The en...tire practice was helpful, amazing, and professional!! They were always there when I needed help!! I would recommend them to anyone going through something so difficult!!!

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.
