Legal Transfer of Custody with a non-relative child.

We cared for a child for four years as she was our own. One day child protection knocked on our door and began proceedings to place our daughter back with the biological parents who left her with us in the first place! As I tried to trust the "system" to do the right thing; it became clear that the... wrong thing was going to happen. This child would go back to homeless parents who had been collecting benefits from the county for four years while we raised their biological daughter as she was our own. The social worker was conflicted and warned us that this would be a long and painful process. We called Samantha, she met with us, and she knew the ropes of the family and juvenile courts. We had a permanent legal transfer of custody within months! She was trustworthy, responsive and knowledgeable.

Very knowledgeable Divorce/Family Law Attorney

I felt Ms. Gemberling handled my case in a very professional manor, she is very understanding and patient. Samantha is very knowledgeable in Family Law. She was very good at listening to the concerns that I had, and giving me many options on how we could proceed with my case. I do not think anyone... could of handled my case any better. I would definitely refer Ms. Gemberling to anyone looking for a excellent attorney.

"Ms. Gemberling and I served as co-counsel many years ago on a very difficult private CHIPS petition involving a teenager. She is an incredible trial attorney – meticulous preparation, superior command of details, and a powerful presence in the courtroom. I have great respect for her skills, creativity and strategic acumen. She is also very practical, compassionate, and a great listener – traits that benefit anyone going through a family or juvenile court matter. I strongly endorse Ms. Gemberling."
