Samin Vali Beringer

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!

Samin Beringer was my attorney from January – November 2012. I followed Mrs. Beringer to her private practice, which was the best decision I could have ever made and I am very grateful for what Mrs. Beringer did for my family. Mrs. Beringer represented me knowledgably, reliably and aggressively... through my very long and drawn out custody/child support/move away case. I was the Respondent for my case, but never felt too overwhelmed in my extremely stressful case because of Mrs. Beringer’s perseverance. I think I had a very difficult case, and it was VERY time consuming; but, Mrs. Beringer was always 5 steps ahead of the Petitioner. There were many long and tedious hearings that Mrs. Beringer was always prepared for and she always ensured I was prepared, also. I never second guessed any advise/recommendations that were given by Mrs. Beringer and followed her lead and put the outcome of my family’s lives in her hands and it proved to be, yet again, another very good decision. In the end, I was able to relocate with my children to Northern California to begin our new lives together. I have recommended friends to Mrs. Beringer and will continue to so. I will also continue to use her as legal counsel when the need arises. Mrs. Beringer has always been quick to respond. I have NEVER had any issues with contacting her, every email and/or phone call was returned in a very timely manner.

I was referred to Ms. Beringer by a family friend, a past client who continuously praised her professionalism and expertise. During my divorce I was also dealing with a serious illness, so needless to say it was a very difficult time for me. Ms. Samin Vali Beringer made the entire process so quick an...d painless. She advised me exactly what to expect along the way and took care of everything imaginable. Not only is she a knowledgeable attorney, but she is extremely personable and pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend Samin to my own family, friends, or anyone in need of a family law attorney.

Samin helped me with my divorce in 2007/2008. I was initially very concerned with the amount of time, money and energy that the divorce would take. However, Samin made the process much less daunting. She was understanding and responsive. Samin helped me complete all of the paperwork and the case ...was resolved more quickly than I expected. She helped me obtain a fair settlement and I was THRILLED that I never had to step foot in a court room. If I ever have to go through any sort of family law proceedings again, I would hire Samin in a flash.
