"I fight hard for all of my clients and often think outside the box when it comes to complex family law matters and issues and arguments that arise. I firmly believe that is in the best interests of the client to try and settle a matter first before choosing the high cost of litigation. However, this is not always possible so when a matter does get into court, I can be very aggressive if necessary. I present options to my client's and the pros and cons of each to help them decide which course of action they want to take."

Sam Spagnola review
It took me some time to find Sam since there are not that many places that show attorney's reviews; however, his website was pretty clear to show that he was mostly working on Family and Divorce Law, which was something I was looking for.
