Worth every penny ......
Mr. Samaniego handled our child custody matter. It took a lot of work and a lot of time but he was very professional and compassionate to our situation. His knowledge of family law cannot be measured, he is off the charts. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney that works hard for his clients.
