Samin Vali Beringer

Family Law is often a roller coaster of ups and downs. I went through a divorce in 2014, and was a recently graduated attorney myself. I can tell you that without Samin, I never would have been able to navigate the San Diego Family Law court system myself. She was thoughtful. Prompt. Very experienced.... And helped me to understand my legal rights v. costs of enforcing them through trial compared to settlement v. how the local Court (which she was very familiar with) might evaluate my facts. While my ex challenged everything, and was in a state where she would have never agreed to anything with me, Samin worked out issues I never could have with my ex. I started out with slightly less than 50/50, and in my case, there were issues that necessitated that I work towards becoming the primary parent. The Court needed to understand that even as a working father, I was the best option for my kids. Getting the narrative right, and helping the judge to understand the reality of the parenting dynamic with my children was a difficult task that Samin nailed. There were two Ex Partes that she promptly worked with me on during my custody proceedings that hanged the tide. Had I been the one pointing the finger at my ex in open court, I am absolutely positive that the right outcome would not have happened. When things looked bleak, or decisions were confusing, Samin was there to help me process. And she helped me understand the long term strategy over finding short term satisfaction. At the end of my divorce, I can say she executed a long term strategy that ended with me going from less than 50/50 to all but two weekends a month. She advised me on best approaches with the two judges we had. And gave me sound advice on when settlement would likely be less costly than continuing to pay her to pursue a trial. She's everything you could ever want in a good family law attorney. Although the legal process can be costly, especially with a contentious ex mine, she was efficient with my time and money and generally spot on with her legal strategy and advice. No one can be perfect, but I think Samin might walk on water. Even attorneys need attorneys for their divorces, and I would highly recommend Samin. I can't think of a better attorney in Family Law, or one who cares about her clients and providing exceptional services like Samin does. Stick with her. It can be a daunting process. But in the end, you won't regret it.

Samin is an amazing attorney to work with. She was very attentive to MY needs as a father and worked to help me get the best possible situation for my family. I can't say enough about how knowledgeable she was. And her rates are more than reasonable for the average guy or family which is one of the m...any things that makes her the only family law attorney I'll use in San Diego.
