BEST Divorce Attorney !

I can not imagine having anyone other than Samantha Lennon to have represented me in my divorce. She is incredibly sharp, genuine, responsive, dependable, direct, and kind. Having her handle my case made me feel safe and supported. I was always up to date on status changes and the best next steps. Sh...e's not someone who drags things out as she gets things done, and she gets it right! (I can't emphasize enough on how amazing her communication is!) The process was as smooth as possible. Divorce is a difficult, and uncomfortable, enough life change, but it was an absolute pleasure to work with Samantha Lennon (and Hannah Garcia) through it. I appreciate them both immensely. If you are ever in need of representation, Samantha Lennon is the absolute BEST!

Run, dont walk, to Attorney Samantha Lennon!

This is a review of LGS Family Law firm, where I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Samantha Lennon for my divorce case. I am happy to say that her strong expertise, extensive experience, and high ethical standards helped me achieve the best possible outcome. My family and I felt at a disadvan...tage going into the process because we had no prior knowledge of divorce proceedings, and my ex-spouse is a lawyer. However, Samantha and her paralegal, Hannah Garcia, were exceptional in their communication and always ensured that our questions and concerns were addressed in a timely, respectful, and compassionate manner. Throughout the process, they kept costs down, were always available to discuss the case, and outsmarted my ex-spouse and his legal team at several turns. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with their services and grateful for their guidance during a challenging time in my life. If you are new to the divorce process, I strongly recommend avoiding divorce attorneys who are unresponsive, slow to respond, difficult to get in touch with, or who behave in a nonchalant, rude, or dismissive manner. Be cautious of those attorneys who make hard sales pitches and charge exorbitant fees, such as a flat fee of $750 for an initial draft of a petition for divorce. You don't have to settle for this type of representation! For anyone seeking the best legal advice, attention to their case, exceptional communication, conscientious attorney's fees, and a positive outcome, I highly recommend working with Samantha Lennon for all family law needs.

Highly recommend Samantha

Samantha was incredible in working with me related to a nuptial agreement. She was thorough in her review of the legal documents, as well as explained in layman's terms the risks and benefits of different ways to structure the document. I am extremely grateful for her assistance and would highly reco...mmend for anyone looking for counsel related to pre- or post-nuptial agreements.

Highly recommend

Family law is a special calling, especially for those that are honest and care about what's best for you and your children. Samantha has morals and does what's right. Samantha helped me when I was served, out of the blue, over custody of my son. Samantha was honest about what my options were, and wha...t we could and couldn't do in my specific situation. She guided me every step of the way, took my calls when I was stressed, and was a friend in a difficult time. I am someone that likes to know as much as I can (and luckily, I don't know a lot about legal jargon), so she dealt with my amateur questions so I could better understand what was happening. No one ever wants to deal with these things, but Samantha was available and ready whenever I needed her, to help in all of the crazy things that were thrown at us. She made me feel like I was her only client (which is obviously not true)! I hope you never need Samantha, but if you do, she's the best!

I'd hire her again a million times

Samantha represented me in my very intense divorce and I could not have had a better advocate. She fought for my babies like she was fighting for her own. My divorce was a lot less stressful than it could have been because I knew I could completely trust her to handle whatever issues arose in my case.... She listened to me and always kept me informed. Whenever I had a question, she provided the answers I needed and put me at ease. She validated all my thoughts and feelings and gave me opportunities to give input. I truly believe I found the perfect attorney for me, and although divorce and custody issues are difficult by nature, she made it a pleasant situation for me. Thanks so much again for all the time and effort you put into making sure my voice was heard and the best interest of my children was adequately realized.
