Sami Malek Haddad

The last few months have been very challenging for me, as I’m going through a pretty ugly divorce and custody battle. I hired Mr. Haddad at the beginning of March and am so blessed he came into my life. Through all of the craziness he made me feel safe, and like everything would be okay. Today was ou...r first hearing together and I walked out of there with the giant elephant that was weighing on me, now gone. He was calm, professional and on his game and made requests that were fair and granted to each party, no drama, no badgering the other party with hear say, just facts and wanting a resolution. He made a difference in my life today that I’ll truly always be thankful for. If you need a family law attorney that cares, which most don’t, hire him. He won’t let you or your family down.

Sami Haddad is hands-down the best family attorney I have ever had the opportunity to meet and consult with. Not only did he make time to meet with me for a consultation but he did so last minute and before my court date which was only a few days away. He was incredibly knowledgeable and straightfo...rward and at the same time kind and compassionate of the situation. He advised me on how to handle my upcoming court date and what I should expect as well as what I should request of the judge. He help me understand my legal documents and put me at ease and I left feeling confident about how to proceed in court. I would not recommend anyone other than Sami Haddad for any family law Services that you may need and I will only consult with and retain services from Sami for any future proceedings I may have.

Sami Haddad represented me in a child custody hearing from over 2,000 miles away in June 2015. 3 Years ago my daughters and I moved from San Diego, CA to Nashville, TN. My daughter whom I have had Full Physical and Legal Custody of for over 13 years went to visit her father (with my consent) for her ...normal 1 month (1/2 summer) visit. While she was in his care he decided to file an emergency Ex Parte in an effort to keep my child in San Diego permanently, requesting temporary emergency orders to extend her visit until her could file for a move away order and full custody. There were numerous allegations of neglect, and little or no evidence to support his claims. None the less, I was given less than 24hrs notice to appear, impossible for a single mother clear across the country, with 2 other children, other than by telephone. I was scared and uncomfortable representing myself while still reeling from the shock of the sudden filing for custody, and fear of the potential of losing my daughter over false and incredulous claims. Mr. Haddad knowing that I had little time to respond took immediate action, explained my rights as the custodial parent, jurisdiction laws that may apply to my case, what I needed to provide in documentation to negate the false claims, and provided insight for any unexpected changes I may need to be prepared for. Mr. Haddad did not sugarcoat and of the potential issues that could arise, and explained in depth each scenario so that I could understand the legal implications of the Ex Parte. Despite the fact that the law was on my side and the side of my child, he also informed me of the rights of the non-custodial parent. He helped me file the appropriate representation documents, and helped me prepare my response to the Ex Parte. He was quick, filing my documents in less than 24 hours, and was able to physically represent me in my absence with extremely short notice (48 hours). Mr. Haddad is both bright and articulate and was able to review my entire case, our case history, prepare documents, and review all evidence and responses as well as serve the other party in under 48 hours. His quick wit, knowledge of family law, and keen sense of justice allowed him to represent me and the best interests of my child with integrity, speed, accuracy and a true sense of heartfelt urgency. Thanks to Mr. Haddad and his skill set, my daughter was returned home to me as scheduled, and the Ex Parte was ruled in our favor. Beyond the skill level for which Mr. Haddad executed an incredible argument and fight for my child; he paid close attention to and was acutely aware of the pain, shock, and the emotional and financial drain that the situation had created for myself and our family. He helped me separate my emotional responses from the factual evidence needed; allowing for a solid and indisputable argument. This helped ease some of my terror and gave me a great amount of peace, allowing me to focus on the fight in front of me and gathering critical documentation necessary for my case. I could not be more grateful for the legal representation provided by Mr. Haddad, nor the wisdom, advice and guidance he provided. Mr. Haddad is an excellent family law attorney, and I would highly recommend him for anyone facing confusion while needing thorough, well executed, and sincere representation in any family law matter. This Attorney Deserves a 5 Star Review, and has the most heartfelt thanks a mother could give for helping me fight for my daughter and for ensuring her safe return home!

Sami has been truly amazing! I hired him for a sexual harassment and hostile work environment case. He was very patient and understanding with me. His advice and counsel through the entire process was incredibly nice to have, especially with the type of case it was. I am young and had never faced thi...s type of problem, I had several worries about opening a case: I didn't know how to go about protecting my rights, I was worried about financially being able to afford an attorney, I was scared to go up against a company alone, and I didn't know if I was emotionally strong enough to actually proceed. Sami took every one of my worries and doubts away in less than 25 minutes with a consultation over the phone! He was very flexible and worked with my financial situation. He walked me through all the steps, all the paperwork, and addressed every potential outcome of the case; best case scenario and worst case scenario and the steps he would take to make even the "worst case scenario" a fairly good one. There is simply NO LOSING with Sami Haddad. I highly reccomend hiring a trustworthy attorney like Sami, he will not only make you feel confident, but will also remain a friend. he takes his clients very seriously and is very dedicated to them. He was very adamant about clear communication and made himself available to me whenever I had any questions. Thank you for everything Sami, I am extremely grateful for your great service, great results as promised, and new friendship.
