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.

Divorce sucks. It just does. We all know this and the process of legal representation is not an easy one to choose. Why do I know this? Because, I spoke to 12 different Attorney's as I went through the process of choosing the right Attorney to deal with my difficult Divorce. Luckily, Samin Bering...er was recommended to me and it was clear after 15 minutes of speaking with her she not only understood what needed to be done but also how to deal with the circumstances of difficult situations. Basically, she made the situation as smooth as possible. She's a pro with a deft touch of understanding the nuances of your side and that of the other party. However, she's relentless in protecting you. She communicates great (an anomaly in this field) and is willing to do what she has to do to get the end result. Yeah, she's great and I hope I never have to speak to her again - for obvious reasons. Hire her.

Samin Beringer is a caring, competent, and very qualified lawyer. She handled my divorce cases and always fought to make sure I received the best outcome. If I had not been represented by a qualified attorney I would definitely have made the wrong decisions for my case. She kept me apprised dur...ing each step and one aspect of dealing with her that I definitely liked was that I was able to contact her by email to which she always responded. In contrast, my husband's attorney was very hard to contact. I found her to be a very sincere person who cares about her clients. I believe she is very hard worker. I would highly recommend Samin to anyone looking for a qualified attorney to handle their divorce.

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
