This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent advocacy and thorough planning

Samantha and her office have helped me navigate a highly contentious divorce since the fall of 2016. In all of that time, her knowledge, professionalism and advocacy have been nothing short of stellar. In meetings, planning sessions and in court she is always prepared for every possible direction th...at this very difficult case could take. And most importantly for me, her approach always kept the best interests of my son in the forefront. She helped me find the experts and professionals in our community whose testimony helped to build our case, and her office's thorough approach to working with the witnesses we called ensured that everything went smoothly. Every member of Samantha's team is kind, personable, organized and thoroughly professional. Witnessing their hard work instilled in me a deep rooted trust that absolutely contributed to me feeling confident and calm as we approached very difficult court dates. Samantha has an understanding of human relationships that is both intuitive and backed by years of experience and collaborating with psychiatrists, doctors and professionals of all kinds. She was able to call on that experience to guide me with both kindness and honesty in the times when I was in the wrong. I will always be glad that I hired her to help me through this most difficult time.

Excellent

Samantha was very helpful and thorough. My case was extremely complicated and she worked hard to know everything we could and couldn’t do. She gave me sound counsel and help the process move as swiftly as possible.

Samantha is the best!!!

I hired Samantha to assist me through my divorce. Almost immediately, she had a plan for my case from beginning to end. The plan worked perfectly. She was my attorney, counselor and willing to listen to me vent during tough times. In addition she is a caring, thoughtful, kind human being, but very... able and willing to be tough in court, if necessary. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone needing a divorce/family law attorney.

Go no further

Samantha Malloy is not only an excellent attorney, she is an amazing person. Samantha and her partner Amy Young, provided with me with excellent representation and worked above and beyond what most lawyers would consider their duty. They had their eyes on the goal and their hands at my back. I felt ...supported, seen , heard, trusted and considered in every way. My outcome was just and favorable to my kids and to me largely because Samantha made sure the judge new everything he needed to know to come to a just decision. She understands whats needed, who needs it and when... and she never quits working toward her goals. I can't speak highly enough of her and Amy and their associates.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"As a Family Law expert, I am always looking around the state for well qualified, smart and tenacious counsel to refer cases to. I have had the unique experience of handling an appeal on behalf of Samantha. This not only gave me the opportunity to consult and work with her on a case but I was also able to review the exhibits and work she prepared in getting her results at the trial level. Anyone would be lucky to have her as counsel."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Saying Samantha D. Malloy is a fantastic lawyer is an understatement. She has a relentless worth ethic and is more prepared than any lawyer I have ever worked with in my 25 year career. In addition, I consider Samantha Malloy one of the most intelligent people I have ever met-legal or otherwise. Her intelligence gives her an incomparable advantage over other lawyers. When we have co-counseled cases she has come up with legal theories that resulted in huge monetary gains to our clients. Not only is she extremely hard working and intelligent, Samantha is compassionate and patient. If I needed a lawyer to represent me in a divorce proceeding, Samantha would be the lawyer I would hire. I highly endorse Samantha D. Malloy."
