SAVED OUR LIVES

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!
