Samin Vali Beringer

All my research on child custody issues suggested that not much can be done after the mediator makes recommendations to the court. Some of the most critical issues in my case were left unanswered by the mediator. I had Samin represent me in this child custody trial. I admit some of her initial arg...uments in court set me back, but she was excellent the rest of the way. I was stunned the way she cross-examined my ex-wife and exposed her in front of the judge . The manner and order in which she presented the facts to the judge made a huge difference. Her closing arguments was the final blow. Finally, the judge had no problem ruling in my favor. My son and I owe our happiness to her. If you want a trust-worthy, knowledgeable and aggressive attorney, don't look elsewhere. Just hire Samin.

Divorce is one of the most stressful events, especially when it involves children. Lot of emotional decisions have to be made in a business-like manner. After interviewing several attorneys, I was clear about the dynamics of my case. I chose Samin because she felt the most trust-worthy and made me... feel very comfortable. She patiently listened to what I had to say and guided me all along and simultaneously managed my expectations. She told me exactly when to budge and when to stand firm. She was ethical and realistic and was with me up until the settlement. Having her beside me made world of a difference. I would recommend her in a heartbeat for any family law case

Samin is the perfect blend of genuine caring and concern and strong determination that you would want in a Family Law attorney. I went through a very difficult divorce and she cared, listened, was very perceptive about my ex, and represented me well. She was always straight-forward with me about ev...erything regarding the handling of my case and any fees; there were no surprises. She was always fast to respond to anything that came up even after my case was "resolved". I am glad that I had her by my side.

I cannot say enough about Samin! To say my case was complicated would not even be remotely close! Not only did my custody case last for 11 years, (Samin was not the attorney for the entire 11 years) but over those years my case spanned courtrooms in two different states and another country, it reac...hed the appellate level, involved federal marshals, local police officers, multiple court visits, a-n-d one completely insane judge. I have had multiple attorneys, not because I changed attorneys, but because of how complicated my case was! Those are attorneys for different states and levels of courts! I knew I was in the right, and I have always believed in fighting with integrity, this my friends is difficult when faced with an adversary that lies and cheats and values winning more than doing what is best for a child. Samin not only WON MY CASE, she did it with honesty and integrity! I was moving out of the country so that my husband could serve our country and I was losing my mind with all the court hearings, filings, etc. Samin and my Texas attorney, Manny, yes I call him Manny, he has been my attorney for the 11 year nightmare, saved me and my son. When it was all said and done I was not only able to take my son to join his stepfather and little sister my child finally the security of knowing he wouldn't be taken away from his family. You should note that if you are looking for a family attorney this area of law is specialized. Judges basically have complete authority over custody hearings, and proceedings can be tricky, especially in San Diego! Samin has the knowledge base to handle even the most complex cases. Seriously my case is as complex as it gets, I have one attorney who is now a dream friend who says my case is the reason he no longer practices family law! (and he won every hearing for me!) She's what you need her to be in the moment, if are thinking you know exactly what must be done and you only want a lawyer who is a puppet, save your money and don't hire Samin, but you will regret it! She is kind, compassionate, honest, extremely smart and good at her job! But you have to let her do her job! When I needed a hand to hold she was there, when I thought I could never laugh about the situation I found humor, in the oddest places! When I needed someone to tell me to sit down and shut up she did that! Trust me you will probably need this too! There isn't anything else to say really, I entrusted her with the life of my child and she saved us! Literally! Thank you Samin! Samin is truly blessed for fighting for the children who cannot fight for themselves!
