Samera Habib et al Dadvocates

I’m a current client of Samera Habib and I have to leave my experience here unfortunately some thing I really don’t to do, but I need to warn other parents, especially fathers that Samera Habib and her partners have not been handling my case well. The problem is that it appears that they’re billin...g practices are just not honest and as a result, I wound up spending tens of thousands of dollars without receiving a single valid document including them repeatedly ignoring my requests to file a substitution on my case with the court, and instead they dragged that on which cost me tons of thousands of dollars and supposedly documentation and research fees, none of which amount to that closely resembled the facts of my case. Inevitably, it seems like I was targeted or so, because of my vulnerabilities as a father whose case is against a licensed therapist which has made demonstrating facts and seeking justice and truth that much more challenging. This allowed them to perpetually gaslight me which resembled psychologically abusive tactics of hostage taking. At this point it seems like they completely fail to take into account the many hours of research, all-hands on deck meetings, and the introduction of four professionals who were supposed to be on top of my critical case I was enticed into paying top rate for. I am certain that they completely lost focus of my case objective to seek the best interest and welfare of my children, and cycle after cycle of poor performance and I concede it has all been about weekly billing and maintaining a retainer, without delivering a single valid document. Cycle after cycle I have complied, with small degrees of dispute vocalized and my concerns about billing practices and poor performance repeatedly going on deaf ears. It seems as long as they were capable of keeping the facade of representation going they are ok with that, ultimately blaming me telling me that “it is too early to file”. Meanwhile they have without any hesitation collected tens of thousands in fees, of which thousands were billed even before informing the court that they are being paid on my case. I would be cautious too about these reviews which admit that they don’t patronize Samera’s legal profession. I am a current customer who has reached the point that find it necessary to warn others.

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!

Amazing

Samera is an amazing lawyer. She found my ex-wife in Penial Contempt and Remedial contempt. She Was able to fully display the weaknesses of the opposing counsil on cross examinations and throughout the entire hearing. She is a very attentive and amazing lawyer I can't speak enough about her. She ...has put together a dynamic team that far surpasses any other law firm i have used. She will be my lawyer for as long as my kids are under 18.

Gave me peace of mind

Samera has been an amazing attorney and has done an excellent job with my child custody/support case. She's been a very calming presence during mediation and really knows her stuff in regards to family law. She's always prepared and extremely poised. After I realized I was going to need an attorney t...o help me through this process, I was horribly stressed and it was affecting my life. I'm so grateful I found Samera - her intelligence and good heart has calmed me down. I can tell she really cares about my children and my case. This also goes for her entire office. I would highly recommend Samera and her staff.

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
