Masah Sedia Samforay

I had been married a little over a year, when the marriage took a turn for the worst, my now ex- husband decided to take his abuse up a notch to physical. After I obtained an order of protection, I contacted Attorney SamForay for a consultation. During the consultation she listen with sincerity and e...mpathy. At the time I wasn't sure if I wanted the divorce, however I knew that I didn't want him back in my home. Attorney SamForay explain to me legally how he could possibly end up back in my home if I chose to handle it on my own. Without thinking further, I hired her to represent me. She is very knowledgeable and to the point. When we first started the process my ex-husband didn't have an attorney, we figured it wouldn't take long since we hadn't been married long and didn't have any assets to divide. For some reason he hired an attorney, once attorney SamForay learned of this she let me know that his attorney doesn't move fast on cases and that we would most likely finish sometime in May or June, it was October when we had this conversation. At the first court date she bluntly let my ex-husband know that she will not allow him to intimidate me as he had tried when he violated the OP by sending multiple text messages. I knew then she wasn't a force to be reckoned with. After the conversation she had with him, he wouldn't even look at me when were in court. :-) Each court date, she was on time, prepared and presented herself professionally. She kept me updated on what was going on with my case. She constantly stayed on top of my case, being persistent in contacting the other attorney asking what was the hold up, we needed to get this done. As she had predicted, my divorce was final in June. I also had the pleasure of working with Attorney Scott. She is also on top of her game, and very professional. Attorney SamForay and the ladies on her team are no joke, these women are fierce!! I am so glad I hired these ladies to represent me.

I have two children a seven year-old daughter and a nine year-old son. The case I had was a visitation and custody case in Will County. When I hired Masah she was able to get my kids and secure them immediately with an order of protection because my kids’ mother was keeping them and hiding them from ...me. What I wanted was to make sure that I make the primary decision for them as far as school, healthcare and extra-curriculars. And I wanted to make sure that they had certain standards and the lifestyle I envisioned for them, and my dreams came true in a short period of time. My kids live with me and have the same school and friends. Masah gets things done quickly, she’s very aggressive and made sure that every court date mattered. She’s passionate about kids and doing the right thing.

My daughter kept coming home from visitation with her father, saying that he was drinking and physically abusing his new girlfriend. And he was violent with me when we were together. It got to the point that she would cry every time she went over there. I didn't know what to do. Attorney Masah helped... me and she fought really hard for me and my daughter. In the end my ex ended up with no visitation for a while and then he ended up with supervised visitation. My daughter was put in counseling and she's doing much better. I just can't thank her enough.
