Thank you for the great service

Samantha got my case handle in a timely manner and at a great price in comparison to other attorneys in the area. Thank you for your support and making this transition quick and easy Samantha.

Be aware. Don't hire if you are a male.

I hired Mrs. Thomas as my attorney thinking that I she will be working for me, but in reality she was helping the opposing party. I was sending her emails and she couldn't give me straight answers. Just you know every answer though confusing and not satisfying it was, she charge for it. Confusing cli...ents increases more money on her side. Do not say that I did not warn you. She was not asking me what I want or giving me any advice concerning the whole matter. I regret hiring her.

Great outcome

I hired Samantha Thomas about three years ago and she was very dedicated to my case. I received everything I asked from my ex-husband to include child support and custody. I will recommend her services to my friends.

Justice Prevails, Thanks to Samantha Thomas and Team

I was 100% successful in my child custody case, and was granted everything I requested, thanks to Samantha Thomas, and her team. I had actually consulted with other attorneys, before choosing Samantha, and am more than happy with my decision. First and foremost, Samantha and her team, are extrememl...y tech-savvy. They utilize an internet portal for communications, billing, calendar events, reminders - everything electronic. This is a huge plus for me, as I do not have time for faxing, mailing, and telephone calls. This has served especially helpful as I work full-time, and recently have moved out-of-state. Teleconference calls are set-up without a hitch, and Samantha is always on time. In addition, they are super responsive to anything and everything sent to them via electronic communications. I would like to point out that Samantha's front desk support, Robin, was most helpful. She was very patient with form filling, notarizing, and was always more than happy to lend a helping hand and ensuring communications that I had for Samantha were routed to her effectively and efficiently. Another reason I selected Samantha, was due to her very candid nature. I believe when dealing with sensitive court proceedings, such as child support, you need to be told exactly how it is. Samantha is very upfront with her questions, and telling you her professional opinion on different matters. Samantha is also very supportive, and I did not get the sense she was trying to rob my savings - she is fair, everything they bill for is just and clarified and always open for your review at anytime via their internet portal. It is evident, whilst in court, that Samantha is well known in the legal community. Her knowledge on the judges, the court house, other attorneys, and everything in-between is evidenced in court. If you want to win your child support case, I highly recommend Samantha and her team to represent you.

A TERRIBLE ATTORNEY

I hired Ms Thomas about three years ago to help me handle a social service case dealing with my child due to my now ex-husband who is now in prison,he was harrasing me and calling social service about 25 times every day and when he found out i hired an attorney he did the same thimg to her and she dr...opped me and kept all the money i spent and i spent alot with this woman , she let me down for all the talk she did she sure didnt stand up for none of it we didnt even make it to court and she broke under pressure and i spent 800 dollars for her to tell me a man that i was separated from wont stop calling her , thats what i hired her for to help me instead she dropped me and left me high and dry no service
