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.

Divorce

Sameen is geat! She listened to what I said and worked with me as a team, explained everything, answered my questions and kept me updated. I would hire again if the need were to rise. My divorce took less time than I thought it would or have heard, she was short and to the point. I would recommend... her. Thank you Sameen for all your help!!

Efficient and straightforward

I procrastinated on filing my QDRO for years because previous attorneys I contacted made matters far more complicated than it needed to be. Attorney Zia was recommended by an attorney friend of mine. Over a 10-minute consultation over the phone, Zia immediately provided the simplest and least costl...y solution. She had the whole thing wrapped up in a month. I respect and trust her and will recommend her to anyone.

Excellent lawyer and a wonderful human being

Sameen is a terrific lawyer , very efficient , prompt and thorough in her dealings. She used to follow up everything diligently from filing motions , writing emails to answering phone calls promptly. Even if she was in court room or deposition ,she used to text me saying she call back in few minutes... .I had a bad experience with the previous lawyer who wasted 18 months of time , money and ruined my case.Where as Sameen being a busy lawyer fought my case as if it was her only case and me her only client . She got me the best deal and tried to get me every little thing she can . The most unusual and strange thing was she never discussed her fees or money. I consulted several lawyers before going to Sameen and all other lawyers seemed ruthless and money hungry. She is the most humane and compassionate lawyer anyone can ever encounter. All through my nasty divorce Sameen was not only my lawyer , but my friend , therapist and my life support . If I could I will nominate her as the most humane lawyer of the millennium. I am eternally grateful to Sameen and wish her the very very best in life.

Expungement

Attorney Zia handled my expungement in Will County. She was extremely knowledgable about the criminal law system in Illinois. She put my mind at ease throughout the entire process and would update me regularly regarding any new developments. Due to her expertise, my record was expunged. I would highl...y recommend hiring Attorney Zia.
