I couldn’t have done it with her

When I first talked to Samantha I had been working with another attorney and my case had been opened and at a stand still for 5 years. She did what the other attorney couldn’t in less than 6 months. I’m so grateful for Samantha and would not be where I am without her. I highly recommend her.

Highly recommend! Assisted with mediation and divorce

Samantha was very thorough and repeatedly demonstrated her competence throughout the process. She offered alternates so we could collaborate and ultimately present a case that was strong and defensible. The positive results were a clear validation of her hard work and expertise. Again, I highly r...ecommend Samantha.

Just what I needed

Samantha was a God sent found her to be professional and more important cared for my best interest in what evolved into a complicated divorced fueled by my X's unwillingness to cooperate and unreosnable demands. She expressed calm in a stormy situation and at the end realized a fair agreement to re...solve and neutralize the situation to my best interest. If looking for representation at very competetive rates call Samantha she will help I would give her 5.5 stars and want her on my side anytime.

Responsive and down to Earth

Samantha is great at communication and seemed to be on top of all the issues regarding my case without me chasing her for answers or needs. I feel her times billed and pricing were fair and I may have received plenty of small items in my case that were not billed over the top and could have been at ...a longer time rate. She was able to diffuse a challenging case with the opposing party through attentive and timely emails, calls and paperwork. Highly recommended if you want a smooth case in your favor.
