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.
