Samantha L. Thomas

The Thomas Law Firm has handle almost every aspect of family law for me since Feb 16 to Feb 17, from Domestic Violence Protective Orders (DVPO’s) to Child Custody. Each case has turned out in my favor. The Thomas Law Firm is truly professional, dedicated, and capable. They provided a totally diff...erent experience than I received from the two other Fayetteville law firms I hired during my divorce in 2007, I would recommend their services to anyone. I am a male soldier with numerous deployment, who had a custody agreement from 2008 with my ex. Mrs. Thomas and her team were able to get a judge to modify the existing agreement and secure primary custody for me from my ex-wife. My ex filed criminal assault on a female charge against me, numerous DVPO's, and actually got me arrested for violating a DVPO. I was found not guilty of the assault case, all DVPO's were always denied, and the violation of the DVPO was dismissed without cause. My ex was ultimately found guilty of misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon and I was given a DVPO against my ex. Mrs. Thomas was well prepared for court, she had a strategy going in, and implemented it throughout the trial. Sitting in the court room watching had the feel she scripted the whole trial. She controlled the pace, tempo, and mood of the court room. She seemed to have the respect of all the judges who heard our cases. I couldn’t ask for better representation. She also ensured I was prepared for the case as well. The online portal is a great way to share information, ask questions, review invoices, and communicate. Mrs. Thomas has send me questions on my cases late at night and on weekends while reviewing my case. She really put effort into my case and took no prisoners during trial. She found information to help my case that I didn't even know about myself twice. The team went through tons of evidence I provided and took out any relevant items that benefit us. I could say positive things all day but I would've felt the same way even if we didn't win the custody case. I knew prior to the ruling, win or lose, it wasn't from a lack of effort or preparation on her part. I actually didn't see the system taking custody from a woman and giving it to a male soldier no matter the circumstances. Once again, I would like to thank Mrs. Thomas, Amber (Paralegal), and Robin (Receptionist) for changing my children's life for the better. I would recommend them to anyone, I just hope I never have to use their services again myself.

We live out of state and depended on her to handle our case. We had not seen or talked to our granddaughter for a year and a half. We wanted to be able to call her and have her visit us. It seemed to take forever before we got a hearing, but the problem was with the opposition. We were able to get ...set times to call and a set schedule for visits. we we're told what to expect and nothing was embellished. Communication was mainly by email and was answered in a timely manner. We were quite satisfied with Mrs Thomas.

While deployed I asked Ms. Thomas to delay hearing on a motion filed to dislocate my children to another state. Ms. Thomas proceeded with this hearing and my children were given permission to leave the state while I was deployed. Ms. Thomas failed to advise me that I had appeal right's in which I ...was unaware of until I hired another attorney and my children had already left the state. Per federal law, my rights as a parent serving in active deployed status was violated. The opposing attorney and Ms. Thomas attend the same law school together.

The Thomas Law Firm is as professional as it gets! I want to thank the whole team for all the support and reasurrence through this custody battle and divorce, a truly trying process. Keep up the diligence and steely eyed sticktuidness that helps those in need! I Appreciate all of you, THANKYOU SO M...UCH! Anybody out here in Fayetteville, or in the world for that matter, looking for a law firm that will fight for you and have your back? The Thomas Law Firm will run in to a burning building for you!

My husband and I hired The Thomas Law Firm in November of 2015 to do a Termination of Parental Rights case for our oldest daughter and her biological father. Samantha Thomas immediately took our case and filed all paperwork and set up all court dates for us. She and her staff were very communicative ...and no question was ever unanswered. Anything we needed to know about the case was forwarded to us. Our favorite thing was the MyCase website that you could log onto and check the status of everything. We also loved the fact that we could actually contact Ms. Thomas and that she would respond instead of having her staff communicate for her. They gave us an estimated time for completing the case and they followed through as long as we had met our parts as well. My husband, children, and I are on military orders to pcs to South Korea in June of 2016 and we needed the TPR case done before then so that we could obtain a passport for our oldest child. Her biological father refused to sign and did not want to communicate with us after numerous attempts so we gave up and pursued the termination. Our case was complete and the judgement was ordered in April of 2016. Everything went smooth and was quick and painless. I would definitely hire The Thomas Law Firm again if I ever needed them (hopefully I don't) but I know they would be a great choice and would get the job done. My advice to anyone seeking for an attorney for Termination of Parental Rights should hire Samantha Thomas. Be honest, provide all facts whether good or bad, be specific, and always communicate with them. Do not hire her or waste her time if it is a "revenge" type of case. Ms. Thomas is very professional and will not take your case if she feels those are your intentions.
