Worst mistake ever

We had a monthly contract for two years and nothing ever got done. It cost me four times as much to get a divorce and still no resolution. They never returned my calls but kept changing me a grand a month with no accountability for how my mom was being spent. I finally went with Courtney Mehta who g...ives detailed accounting of the money charged. Do not use this law firm it’s a ripoff. Their billboards in minority neighborhoods are deceptive I spent so much money on a divorce that should have been done in a year but they stretched it out to make more money on me. Beware what you agree to and do your research on how to get good legal service

Worst experience ever

I would not suggest hiring this firm for any reason. This firm is inconsiderate, unprofessional and greedy. You will pay handsomely for an excessive period of time and see absolutely no result.

Excellent Service

I was probably the worse client a divorce attorney could have I was super stressed out daily, calling and emailing Masah every day and changing my mind about decisions we already agreed upon multiple times, as you can imagine a divorce is hard on everyone especially when the parties don’t agree on an...ything, Masah is amazing she stepped into my very messy ( already ongoing case with a terrible attorney of whom didn’t care about me one bit) and she sorted out everything, helped me make decisions with a clear mind instead of acting on pain and SHE ACTUALLY CARES about her clients, I HIGHLY Recommend

Hire her. That's all.

I am so grateful for Attorney Samforay. I did not want to have to ever go through a divorce, and I definitely didn't want it to be as hard and difficult as it was. But at least I had Attorney Samforay to fight with me. She was really open with me about what it could look like and how long it could ta...ke, and in the end it took almost a year to finish. But she talked to me before and after all my court dates and explained everything every step of the way. My ex-husband didn't want to pay anything. He didn't want to pay his fair share for our 4 kids. He didn't want to pay for college for my oldest. He basically just wanted to walk away from everything and leave me holding the bag. My cousin, who is a lawyer, referred me to Attorney Samforay and she was a blessing. I don't wish divorce on anyone, but at least if you have to go through it, get Ms. Samforay.

Thank you

My name is Lavor and I am going into my last semester of college. Through my whole college experience I have struggled to get a chance to see them. The mother of my children had complete control on when I see my kids, how much time, and what I can and cannot do with them. In these situations the male... is always viewed as the bad guy. Masah did view me as that. She help me get back connect to my kids and finally get control of my life!
