    Review Samantha Lennon

    Highly recommended

    Posted by

    I recommend Samantha Lennon to anyone who needs family law guidance and legal assistance. Samantha was remarkably responsive to all of my questions and requests. She made herself available to me and was knowledgeable about family law. I found Samantha's team to be eager to provide assistance and clarity when needed. Samantha and team were friendly, professional, and attentive.

    Samantha! You were awesome!

    Posted by

    Samantha has been awesome throughout the entire process of legitimizing my daughter all the way to the Custody case. She is attentive to details, crossed all the Ts and dots all the Is. She was available timely in all medium of communication; text, phone and e-Mail. My dealing with Samantha made me feel like we grew up together or went to the same High School while in reality we never knew one another before. Very personable and knows her stuff. It was such a pleasure dealing with her. I will definitely recommend her to family and friends in family matters Thanks - Bash

    Excellent Attorney

    Posted by

    Samantha Lennon is/was my attorney for a contempt order. She was present and always took her time to respond in a timely manner, i mean she was always available nights, weekends etc. She was very professional and was very supportive in my endeavors. Her staff was also very organized and handled things fast. Samantha is always very honest and i felt very comfortable confiding in her. From the very start she embraced me i felt like i had known her for years. Samantha is the person you want on your team when dealing with serious family issues. She is kind but firm. She fought hard for me and was victorious. I highly recommend Samantha! Thank You Samantha you are awesome!! Keep fighting for everyone like you fought for me...

    Divorce Attorney - Atlanta

    Posted by

    Where do I start? Samantha Lennon is/was my divorce attorney. But, after months of working through a very complex divorce settlement with my now ex-, I can honestly say that she ended up becoming someone I now consider a friend. Aside from being extremely professional, organized, and efficient, Samantha is also very personable, empathetic, patient...and, most importantly, HONEST. Some lawyers take days even weeks to respond...This is simply not the case here - Samantha was available days, nights, weekends...she always made me feel like what I was going through was of high priority. At the outset, I was completely oblivious to what qualities/characteristics I was searching for in a divorce attorney; but, from my initial consult, all the way to final settlement signing, Samantha proved that she was the perfect match. Do your research, interview a few lawyers - everyone should...but, if you are on the fence, or looking for someone that has a firm understanding of the law, always has your best interest in hand, and does everything with a positive outlook, LOOK NO FURTHER. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SAMANTHA and feel absolutely blessed to have worked with her to land where I am today - THANK YOU SAMANTHA - YOU REALLY ARE THE BEST!

    Best decision I could have made!

    Posted by

    I live in SC and my ex lives in ATL. Samantha Lennon took my contentious custody case (during COVID, mind you, so everything was virtual) and ended up navigating us to an amicable settlement that actually solved huge problems for both myself AND my ex! Not only was she extremely responsive - she kept me informed and guided me from beginning to end. Worth every single penny. I am SO grateful that Sam was able to represent me during one of the toughest situations I’ve ever dealt with.

    Great Experience

    Posted by

    Samantha is truly outstanding. Her calm and compassionate demeanor is exactly what I needed during a very tumultuous time in my life. She’s sharp, has extensive knowledge of the applicable laws, and is a tireless worker. Her incredible attention to detail proved invaluable on many occasions. I really appreciated how she always passionately had my back during tense back and forth negotiations. She stands up for her clients and defends them vigorously. In a time where waiting can be utterly agonizing, her prompt and usually immediate responses to my questions and concerns was refreshing and reassuring. My case was a turbulent one with ups and downs and considerable back and forth. Having Samantha in my corner ensured the very best outcome for my children and me.

    Samantha is simply the best!

    Posted by

    Samantha is amazing! She worked on my legal separation case and was so professional, down to the point, very honest, reasonable, and detailed. She was responsive, which I greatly appreciate and has explained the process to me in detail. Samantha was with me every step of the way and I can’t thank her enough for making this process easy and simple. I would recommend her to anyone needing legal services!!!

    Samantha handled my case with extreme sensitivity and care. She was diligent, looked out for me in more than just a court setting, and was very conscious of spending my money. I felt lucky to have her in my corner and would not hesitate to recommend her.

    A True Professional

    Posted by

    Samantha is a true asset to her profession. She handled my case (Child Support and Custody Modification). Her communications were always clear and concise, and unlike many other attorneys, she was readily available to handle questions and concerns. I have absolutely no reservations about recommending Samantha as one of the best family attorneys in the Atlanta area.

    Stephanie Wilson, Divorce and separation Attorney on Apr 26, 2020
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    Samantha is a true legal talent, inside and outside of the courtroom. I had the pleasure of working with Samantha at a prior firm, and her intelligence and writing-style are incredible. I have also experienced her as an opposing counsel and was blown away by her articulation of arguments in a case where her client did not have the best of facts. She is poised, confident, and strong as a legal representative. I fully endorse her!

    Ryan Schwartz, Divorce and separation Attorney on Jul 25, 2018
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    Samantha has so much passion for helping clients, whether its a divorce, child custody, or adoption. She is smart, honest, and focused on the needs of her clients. I highly recommend Samantha!

    Kathryn Holmes, Marriage and prenuptials Attorney on Jul 18, 2018
    Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

    I endorse this lawyer. She is very intelligent and approaches each case with personal attention. We were on opposite sides of a prenuptial agreement, and Samantha was very responsive and professional, making the process very efficient for both parties.

    Matthew Grossman, Family Attorney on Jul 14, 2018
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    One of the best family law attorneys in Atlanta. Extremely knowledgeable and a skilled advocate for her clients.

    Evin Somerstein, Family Attorney on Jan 30, 2018
    Relationship: Supervised lawyer

    Without reservation, I wholeheartedly endorse Samantha Lennon. Samantha is an exceptionally talented attorney who has the unique ability to understand her clients' needs and help them achieve those goals while still maintaining her humanity and her emphasis on protecting families and children. Samantha has a wide range of experiences that she brings to every case, from representing embattled parents, to traversing complex financial structures, to using knowledge gained from her prior work as a Staff Attorney to a Superior Court Judge, Samantha's quick intellect and strong natural talents combine to make her a powerful advocate.
