Remove all doubt, Samera's team kicks a**

I did a lot of research a few years ago because I knew I was going to get divorced and that I would have a difficult one to deal with. I started meeting with Samera at least two years before we actually started working together. I'm confident I hired the right team. All lawyers will burn your money f...ast, so take that off the table. The reality is, many times during the process I questioned myself by hiring Samera's team and started shopping around. What I found is there isn't anyone better out there despite the reviews. Samera has excellent reviews and has earned them. Samera knows her sh*t. Also very important is the fact that the mediators and judges know and respect Samera. Samera will weed out the stuff that doesn't matter and tell you that. In fact she will tell you things you don't want to hear, but that is how the court will see it, so you need to listen to her. What I've learned over the years is to question my own judgement and just trust the process. I did that here, I trusted the process and I trusted Samera's team and it paid off. Samera and team kicked ass in the courtroom and in the handling of my case.

Caring, tough, and outstanding attorney!

Samira is kind, attentive, understanding, tough, and brilliant! I was referred to her by a legal professional who associates with some of the finest Family Law attorneys in the state, and she was everything he said she was. If you are involved with a divorce or custody case, you definitely need t...o call her!

Honest and knowledgeable

Samera actually looked at some of the details of my case before our consultation was complete; I have not encountered this often when speaking to other lawyers. I needed advice regarding a custody issue and Samera was honest and knew enough to give me good advice. She was concerned about the cost I... might have to pay vs. the changes of success and was clear about both. I will be hiring her in order to help me move forward with my case in a way that will be least harmful for my child and will increase my chances of success.

Divorce/Child custody

Let me begin by saying that divorce can be one of the most painful experiences, with extreme highs and lows, that I would never wish upon anyone. Some even describe divorce similar to a death, where the one you invested everything in, is now out of your life. That being said, the reality is that m...ore than 50% of married couples will experience divorce. I am no exception, and have succumbed to one of those statistics. It was now time to face the music, and seek out an attorney that specializes in family law, and divorce, preferably in the county I reside, where I believe would be more familiar with the court system and judges, thus, being more advantageous. I first set up a meeting with an attorney whose law firm was rather close in proximity, to the court house, that will be presiding over my case. I disclosed the facts of my case to this attorney, who had extensive experience, and appeared quite knowledgeable in how to proceed. I told this attorney that I wanted to think about our meeting and discussions a little longer, before making a decision. I left the firm's parking lot, with a sense of uncertainty, and a gut-feeling that I didn't feel confident that this was the attorney for me. That same day, I called the law firm, Robinson and Henry, P.C., who set me up with an appointment with their specialist in Family Law, and Divorce, Samera Habib, ( Samera is currently with SH Law Solutions, P.C.). Prior to meeting her, I was a little skeptical, as my previous experience, left me with a feeling of uncertainty and anxiety. Upon our first meeting and conversation, I quickly noted Ms. Habib's focus and determination, asking the right questions and overwhelmingly, assuring me, what our course of action should be, and when to move forward. She never wavered as she was bombarded with a series of questions, that I wanted to be answered immediately. My demeanor was one of distraught and despair, as she could see that I was suffering emotionally from the onset of my divorce. Ms. Habib was blunt and direct, about my circumstances, but had a way of being sincere and compassionate at the same time. She understood how I felt, as she herself, disclosed to me, some of her own personal experiences of divorce. We discussed the many issues thatt needed to be addressed. Once again, as I was leaving, I told her that I wanted to think about everything before making a decision. As I drove away, I had a good feeling about Ms. Habib. At that point I knew I didn't need to look any further, as she was the one for me. I called her the next day and told her that I wanted her to represent me. The process of my divorce was emotional, lengthy, and exhausting, lasting just over a year. My circumstances included my children, and a job, that on more than one occasion was in jeopardy, because of false and unfounded allegations. There were times, at my lowest point, that I felt completely helpless and vulnerable. However, Ms. Habib was always there to talk a little common sense, putting things in perspective, and setting my mind at ease. She had a way of staying true to the course, dotting all of the i's, and crossing all the t's, making sure that everything was in place, to offer the best possible outcome for me. I am happy to say that I received my final decree just a little over a week ago. Ms. Habib fought for me, and the things that mattered most in my life, especially my children. She was also able to put in place a favorable Separation Agreement, and Parenting Plan, that will allow me to focus ion my children, my job, and my financial and living arrangement. Ms. Habib also has given me the opportunity to move on with my life, beginning anew, and putting certain things behind me. I am forever indebted to her for her devotion, commitment, and professionalism. Thank you! joe
