This is a fablous company, they actually seem to care about how you divorce turnsout. From day one I felt like my lawyer was there to help, not just take my money. They did take some of of money, haha. But they saved me a lot more than they got paid. I would highly reccomend this firm.

Not out to take your money!
I didn't actually hire them. Which is why I am so impressed with them. I felt I had a good case and tried to give them my money to hire them, instead, they took over an hour to talk me out of it, and gave me a strategy to accomplish my goals without them. Not exactly what I would have expected from divorce lawyers.

GREAT Attorney, saved my life!!!
I can't say enough about Sam. I went through a terrible divorce a couple of years ago with a nasty custody battle. Sam stuck close to me to not only help me stay sane, but he went above and beyond to help me get joint custody of my son. If not for his advice and counsel I would have probably made many mistakes that could have cost me valuable time with my son throughout his childhood. I am sure he had many other cases going on at the same time as mine, but he somehow always made me feel like my case was the most important!!!!

Thank You!
The Siemon Law Firm has represented me for the past several years. I am always able to count on every one at The Siemon Law Firm to professionally guide me in the right direction. Even at times when I was unable to pay my bill, this team worked out a payment plan that met my budget. I have come to think of this team as family, and I appreciate all of the work that they have done for me and my girls! When it comes to family law, this is the team you want on your side!

Excellent Attorney
Sam was approachable, knowledgeable, and attentive when handling my case. Even though my case was a relatively small matter, he took it very seriously and acted as though I was his top priority. He arrived to court early and was organized, prepared, and assertive. No one wishes to hire an attorney, but if you need to, I feel that Sam is a great choice. I would highly recommend him and his law firm; they obviously care a great deal about their clients.

A Very Good Experience
Sam Siemon represented me during a very difficult time in my life. He was very attentive to my case and all of my concerns. Sam and his staff were always very knowledgeable and were a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend his Law Firm.

Best Decision I Ever Made
I was forced to file for divorce and found Sam's Law Firm on the internet. I had no idea what to expect from the process but was in a really bad situation that I had to get out of. The staff and attornys at the siemon law firm were extremely helpful and agressive in making sure my kids and I got everything we needed out of the case. I was always able to reach them when I needed them, they responded to my calls and e-mails every time I needed them. I really felt like they were on my side and really cared about me and my problems. If I ever need a lawyer again, I will call them for sure.

Big money, low results
Hired Siemon for just a parenting plan adjustment, turned out to be one of the most expensive (and worthless) things in my life. I initially wanted to hire Mr Edwards as my attorney and a couple days later transitioned to Ramses Frangie which should have been my first red flag. From the beginning I was sold ideas that they would be able to help me out. We spent months back and forth and came up with a very generic parenting plan, which seemed to have taken a very short time to document. Then a lot of downtime in between, (they bill you for every last minute of their time) They include these "team meetings" each time and bill your card every time. Once mediation time came, I was more prepared then my representation time. I spoke more and he seemed to just be there, not really making any true changes. He was completely defeated by the opposition and seemed unprepared. These cases seems to be the least of their priority and I never really felt like they truly cared about my case. I honestly regret my decision and I really wish it was different. If you want to spent you hard earned money on a law firm that will not really care about your case and give you results, here it is. Overall I received mediocre results for a HUGE price tag.

Better Off Representing Yourself
Something to be said about intuition, go with your gut on this one. I didn't and now I am paying the consequences. I could not afford to not take this opportunity to express my concerns and hopefully prevent others from having the same bad experience I did. There are too many good, knowledgeable attorneys that are in this line of work for the right reasons, than for anyone to have to settle on this one. If you are anything like me, you know very little about the legal system and hope and pray that if ever faced with needing legal representation, that they will put you at ease while guiding you through this difficult process. This did not happen! I was told everything I wanted to hear in the initial consultation but then became just a number once my check was cashed. From the beginning, I informed them of where I was financially and what I could afford to spend. Not only did they not listen to this, but they didn’t listen to half the statements I made, as I had to give them over and over on multiple meetings with Mr. Siemon and his staff. This same lack of organization and preparation carried over in my case. Ultimately I lost the battle of getting my boys and only get to see them a fraction of the time that I should be. When it was all said and done, I lost getting my boys; lost half of nice yearly salary and given an attorney bill that was twice as much as I told them I could afford to pay. Now, I’m being sued by Mr. Samuel Siemon and the The Siemon Law Firm for non-payment. Help me understand this; you pre-qualify someone before they make any major purchases, wouldn’t the same apply to potential costly legal fees? If I walk in and tell you all I can afford is a Pinto, you can’t sell me a Cadillac. Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting his services where that of a Cadillac either. If anything, the metaphor of the used car salesman is actually fitting. The fact is, I point blank told Mr. Siemon what I could afford to pay and now he is using his legal muscle to get money out of me that I just don’t have. See you in court Mr. Siemon. This time I can assure you that I will be better informed and much better represented. I hope you fight harder for your money than you do for your clients!

Response from Samuel SiemonNovember 3, 2016
This review was an effort to to stop us from collecting unpaid fees. This client was very happy with our services and signed a settlement agreement in his divorce over a year before this review was posted. He made it very clear after the divorce that he was happy with our services and even said on multiple occasions that he was going to pay his bill because he really wanted to be able to use us if he had any trouble in the future. After a year, he had not made any payments on his bill and had stopped returning our calls. Once we sued him he posted this review in an attempt to force us to withdraw the lawsuit.
UPDATE: Unfortunately we were unable to resolve the issue of unpaid fees with this client and were forced to proceed with a court hearing yesterday. At the hearing this client was given a full opportunity to present the court with all of his complaints and concerns. After hearing every concern from this client, the court ruled in favor of The Siemon Law Firm and awarded us all of the money owed to us plus interest and court costs. This is the first time in the history of our firm that we have taken such drastic measures against one of our clients and it truly pained us to do so. Unfortunately this was a special case where these actions were justified.

"I endorse Sam Siemon. I have known him for years. I have had him and/or his firm on the opposite side of several cases. Sam knows when to work towards settlement and when to gear the case up for trial. Working with him saves everyone money because we are able to focus on the issues in the case rather than argue about the rules of engagement. His practical approach to cases helps to reduce the cost of the overall divorce while still being a zealous advocate for his client."
