This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

She made my case ruined and withdrew before trial

She received money to do something but because of her Withdrawal before the trial court I missed everything and I forced to pay again for trial but never never returned my money and she sent a receipt that didn’t make sense for me in fact I have paid for the procedure totally She is not responsible... for important matters she might scape if the case is complicated Be careful She never accepts her mistakes or refund money I’m very very sorry for her personality as a woman and an attorney

Trust

Sameen excelled at building relationship and having me trust her. She did not excel at arguing my case, however. The process was unnecessarily dragged on. I rarely received updated bills throughout the process, which made it hard to know where I stood. We agreed she would withdraw from my case but ...the damage had already been done. I would not recommend her services.

Best lawyer for family law

I had consulted several lawyers for my divorce case but Sameen stood out the best. She is a wonderful attorney and thinks in the best interest of her client. She walked me through the whole process and even answered my questions afterwards. I have recommended her to so many friends and believe she is... a great choice for family law.

Fantastic Attorney

I hired Sameen after a friend recommended her. I cannot begin to explain how fortunate I feel to have had her in my corner while dealing with a tough divorce. My case did not have children but I warned her from day one that he would not make it easy. I explained to her my concerns and the results I a...m hoping for. Sameen fought hard for me in court, she was incredibly responsive and available, and she was very reasonable with her charges. Divorces can get messy and expensive but Sameen did not nickel and dime me. She was aggressive with her approaches in order to force the case to end when my ex husband was trying to drag it out. She gave me my life back without breaking my wallet and winning me majority of what I wanted.
