Samuel S Godkin

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.

My ex tried to sue me for full custody of my children by filing court documents full of lies. Not only did Sam expose my ex's lies during deposition, but he forced my ex into telling the truth. He exposed that my ex had not only broken the law but violated our legal and custody agreements. Sam has ...a brilliant mind. He was able to squash this in deposition as well as force my ex to pay for my attorney fees and agree to additional requests I wanted to include in our custody agreement. What could have been a long drawn out and expensive process was minimized due to Sam's skills as a family lawyer and true concern to protect my children and my family.

Sam handled a difficult move away order/custody case for us. He explained to us how he would handle it and what we could expect without making any promises. He got it done quickly and for less money than we expected, always answered emails and phone calls, and got the result we wanted. He was alwa...ys extremely professional and courteous. I would highly recommend Sam Godkin.

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.
