Samantha J Hazel

Samantha represented me in divorce proceedings with my ex-wife. She was integral in minimizing my spousal support and allowing me to still care for my children without being forced to care for my ex at the same time. She was patient, available and able to talk me off the ledge on numerous occasions a...s our divorce was far from amicable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a true ally and a partner not just a stuffed suit.

Sam is brilliant. Sam having a law degree, a MBA, and extensive experience in family law makes her an excellent choice for an attorney. Sam will not tell you what you want to hear; she will tell what is worth spending money on and what you can win in divorce proceedings. Sam's pragmatism was... hard to take at times but she is an expert on divorce. I would recommend Sam to anyone who is in the unfortunate position of getting divorced.

When it comes to Samantha Hazel and describing what an exemplary family law attorney she is, it's hard to know exactly where to start, but I'll give it a go. I engaged Samantha to assist me in my divorce and was astounded at her professionalism, pragmatism, and honesty. Samantha gives everythin...g she has to her clients, but she also will tell them when their goals are unattainable or ill-fated. While many attorneys in this field will encourage their clients to fight over the most meaningless of things (in order to drive up their fees - the dirty little secret of some in the practice), Samantha's goal for her clients is always the efficient yet fair resolution of their legal issues. I found Samantha to be warm but practical, incredibly smart and witty, and wholly accessible to me in my time of difficulty. Because I practice family law in the same city as Samantha Hazel, I risk losing future clients with my review, but it doesn't matter. I know her to practice with the utmost of ethics, a determination to resolve complex problems in common-sense ways, and a sense of advocacy that truly shines through when you realize she could have milked your case indefinitely, as others would do, but chose not to because she cares about her clients. If you are looking for talented and brilliant representation who will keep in mind the entirety of your family paradigm, rather than seeing you as an opportunity to enrich herself at your and your family's misery, hire Samantha Hazel. She took me from devastated and frightened to confident, secure, and happy in the space of just a few weeks. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I have had years of professional and personal experience with attorneys in all areas of the law. Samantha has an outstanding combination of legal knowledge, intelligence, ethics, is tough when the situation demands, and is emphathetic with regard to the pains and difficulties of divorce. My divorce... involved abuse and I was terrified to proceed. Samantha always made sure I was clearly aware of my legal position and rights. I never felt pushed to proceed in any direction until I was personally ready. Samantha does not go into a divorce proceeding with an agenda, except to do the best possible job for her client with the best possible results.

Samantha Hazel represented me when I got a contentious divorce from my husband. She has a determined and effective attitude. There was a substantial amount of property and intricate legal issues with the trust & other common properties. In addition to a law degree Samantha has a MBA. She was able to... do such an excellent job that my husband didn't even hire an attorney. My children were young adults and we structured the divorce in such a way that Samantha helped us maintain good relationships with our children and each other. She may anger some people but it's because she is tough and fair and very skillful.
