The contrast between the lawyer who represented my ex-wife and Sam, who represented me, was dramatic: her lawyer's idea of advocacy was to be confrontational (luring my ex to also become confrontational). She went after everything, no matter how small. She made empty threats. She did not question he...r clients claims and did not damp her unreasonable expectations. Why should she, she got paid either way. Sam, on the other hand, was firm but willing to negotiate and find solutions. He has a lot of experience, treated me and the opposing team with courtesy and respect, he took into consideration how a judge might rule, he did his research, he sought solutions, and developed a big picture plan which he executed, in consultation with me, in record time. In the end my ex has a huge legal bill, and did not get more than what she deserved, and if she did, it was in consideration for our son. The conclusions to be drawn are obvious. However, if you still have doubts concerning what type of lawyer you want, I would strongly, and without reservations, recommend you discuss your case with Sam before you decide.

Mine was a difficult and highly contentious divorce, especially with regards to child custody. Sam fought relentlessly on my behalf. He was aggressive, knowledgeable, and unwavering in his advocacy for me. Through him, I was able to get the custodial arrangement that was best for my daughter. I highl...y and emphatically recommend him. He has an excellent reputation, and for good reason. Hiring him was the best decision I could have made.

I hired Mr. English several years when I realized divorce was inevitable. I was impressed at his compassion and empathy towards me, not to mention his knowledge of the law. To me, Sam seemed to take my case personally and I have a feeling I’m not alone in feeling that way. Divorce is a lengthy proces...s, he and his office kept me informed on “what to expect next”. When my divorce was finalized (there was a child involved), I felt like I got at least as “say so”, and feel like it was handled fairly, and men seldom feel like that when it’s over. If divorce ever presents itself in my life again the choice will already be made, a phone call to Mr. English would be in the works. Best advice I can give is to listen to Sam and let him do his job....

I'm eternally grateful for Sam's insight of the legal process and realistic outcomes in regards to divorce, marriage and families. He and his staff helped me not to lose sight of the big picture, as my husband and I faced the possibility of divorce. Sam and his staff gave excellent legal advice, and ...they represented me with integrity- for the good of my marriage and children. I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in the difficult spot of navigating through the divorce process, as I was able to work through my differences with my husband, and AVOID divorce! Our family is now together!! How many divorce attorneys encourage that?! I truly believe reconciliation is what many couples in the face of divorce hope for, if possible, instead of leaving families split and with long term unresolved wounds and issues.

I had a very complex child support case which lasted over 2 years. We finally settled today and I felt I had to be sure to write a review. Sam was always calm and collected throughout the entire process. While I was pulling my hair out with a newborn and lost in the legal process, he was always th...ere to give me sound advice. He encountered a few new and challenging items in my case, but handled each one expertly. If you are on the fence about paying the extra fees to hire a top notch attorney- let me tell you, this is not the place to skimp. Having an attorney with the poise and confidence to handle your case is worth your sanity. I would highly recommend The English Law Firm to others, and already have.
