Family law is more than a job to me, it is a passion. I knew that at a very young age that I wanted to be an attorney, but I didn’t know what area of law to focus on. I knew that I wanted to be an advocate for others during difficult times, and that is when I fell in love with family law. I work with each of my clients personally to develop a plan to achieve their individual goals. I focus on long-term success, rather than instant gratification.
I was born in San Diego, CA but was raised in Las Vegas, NV. In 2015, I graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas with a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice. After graduation, I came to San Diego for law school. I graduated in May of 2018 from California Western School of Law, with an area of concentration in Child, Family, and Elder Law. I was barred in California in December 2018 and in Nevada in May 2019, after passing both bar exams on the first attempt. I am a California Certified Family Law Specialist, which means the State of California has certified me as an expert in this field.
I aim to provide aggressive and compassionate representation, but with a more personal touch. I will be there to support and advocate for you from start to finish. I am aware that all aspects of family law can be extremely stressful, including custody and visitation, domestic violence, financial support, etc. It is my goal to alleviate some of that stress, so that you can focus on your daily life.

Fantastic Attorney
From the moment I consulted with Samantha, I felt validated and comfortable with my legal matter. Her sharp wit and attention to detail were a few of the reasons I decided to retain her. My case should have been fairly quick and simple, but the opposing side did everything in their power to intimi...

AMAZING LAWYER
I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Samantha Edwards at a hearing. I was served with a restraining order by my ex. She was representing someone else before my case was called.
