also known as Sam Sorensen
I do my very best to help people get through tough times. I am a family law attorney--which means I help people going through divorces and custody disputes. I try to help my clients focus on moving forward rather than dwelling in the past. I use my experience as a family law attorney, guardian ad litem and as a Judge Pro Tem to guide clients through the Court process. I am dedicated to preparing my clients for their case through honest, straightforward advice.

Disappointed
Sam was great to communicate, but with a difficult and uncooperative opposing counsel it should have been recognized sooner that they weren't going to cooperate and were just using tactics to run up attorney bills. This should have been stopped sooner. (It was one of the first things my new attorne...

A great lawer and a great person

The ONLY attorney you want
Sam helped me through a very difficult divorce. My ex had hired a very expensive legal team and I was very intimidated and anxious. Sam was calm and confident and listened to my concerns. He did excellent research in my case, was a strong advocate for me and communicated clearly with me on what to ex...
