Samuel S Godkin

I sought out an attorney during my divorce after all seemed lost. I moved out of the area and was unable to close out my divorce on my own. Prior to retaining Sam and his partner Shane I lost hope. They were able to turn my case around and stop a seemingly horrific outcome for me during trial. They w...ere complete professionals and kept me in the loop for the entirety of my case. They were able to close my case and turn the tides to my favor. If you are in need of great legal representation then look no further. I will be recommending Sam and Shane to all friends/family in need of legal services pertaining to family law. Thank you again.

Sam settled my divorce in a timely manner. We didn’t have very many assets to divide, but Sam is very knowledgeable about California laws being that we live in a community property state. Sam will get you what should be rightfully yours and will give you great advice from start to finish. I highly re...commend Sam Godkin as your divorce attorney.

Sam represented me in my divorce and I couldn’t be more grateful for his services. I initially came to him feeling timid, scared, and hopeless. I let him know that my ex and I had a prenup and that he was trying to bully me out of “his house.” Sam immediately applied his expertise and educated me on ...my rights. Despite my nervousness and fears, he encouraged me to file proper paperwork and protect myself before my ex could do anything against me. What’s great about Sam is that he always thinks not 2, but 3 steps ahead. I felt like he looked after me as if I was a family member that he passionately wanted to protect. He is tough and aggressive in the best way possible which is exactly what I needed in guiding me out of a bad situation. I actually felt sorry for my ex’s attorney because Sam pretty much ate her alive and we ultimately got a settlement that exceeded my expectations. He is worth every penny. Thank you Sam!

Mr. Godkin has worked with me for the last year and a half during a hostile and difficult divorce. The service I have received from Mr. Godkin and his staff have been exceptional! I'm surprised by the one negative review, because every encounter I have had with Mr. Godkin, whether in person, on the... phone, via email, or in court was highly professional. He was very concerned with my financial status, and often times counseled me on how to minimize my cost, and his fees. Both Mr. Godkin, and opposing council worked together professionally to resolve my case. He has patiently answered all of my questions, and discussed all of my options through the separation, divorce, and child custody issues. He has listened to my concerns, and has given me practical and useful advice every step of the way. I would recommend, (and have already) Mr. Godkin for all Family Law matters.
