DO NOT HIRE IF YOUR A FATHER.......... "RUN"

I hired Ms. Thomas back in 2016 to handle my divorce. Around $10,000 later and all court proceedings, paperwork and my case crap. Ms.Thomas seemed timid in court or afraid of the other attorney. Her way of handling my case was settle, settle, settle!!! "this is a good deal!!" never standing up for M...E, or understanding MY situation, she must have been scorned by someone before because of what I read on other reviews. If your a father and you care about you kids, your money or coming out of a divorce with dignity then THIS IS NOT THE LAWYER FOR YOU!!! I tried and tired to explain my situation to her and it was like it went into one ear and out the other, as long as the payments kept rolling in that's all that seemed to matter with her. my ex cheated for 3 years, has a decent paying job and because I left to start the 1 year separation needed to get a divorce ( which is a ridiculous law) I was dragged through the coals!! lost the house, my truck, my kids, she got alimony and child support and all I got was my car, my bedroom furniture and my garage stuff. I explained over and over how unfair this was and she looked at me and coldly said " you should've never left" no compassion for fathers rights!! so run!!! run away quickly from this attorney as fast as you can if you want to have a life after divorce.

Don’t come here if a father !!

I went for a consultation with Mrs Thomas pending a divorce and child support. My ex cheated and was demanding 2/3 of my paycheck. I pay all bills, insurance, car, plus additional 1500$ with out a court order on good faith. When I was subpoenaed for child care, child support, responsibility of all bi...lls, and alimony totaling more than 2/3 of my income her only question was “why shouldn’t you pay for everything “ She has absolutely no compassion for fathers or military service members. I saw 3 other lawyers after this with much better results. I hired one and ultimately needed up paying over 1300$ less than what Mrs Thomas said I would be paying. Thank god I only spent a consultation fee and not exhorbant amounts of money that she has taken from others will poor outcomes.

Excellent attorney

I hired Samantha Thomas to handle my custody and support issues and I can honestly say she is an amazing attorney. I had a very complicated case and the outcome was in my favor. She is very professional and thorough and her office crew is amazing! I would definitely recommend her to everyone

Excellent attorney, highly recommend her

I had Ms. Thomas handle my custody, child support, and divorce. When she took over my case from another law firm, I had already been going to court for over 6 months. When she took over the case she was very good at what she was doing. She always answered my questions and was on top of everything. Wh...en I met and paid the retainer, it was explained how the pay system worked. Yes, emails and phone calls cost money. But it is the same way with every law firm, and it was explained in the very beginning. I feel she was very fair and I feel like she did not only want my money. She worked very hard to get my case taken care of and fought for th things that I had wanted. I highly recommend her for anyone with these same issues.

great job

I hired Mrs Thomas for both child custody and child support and to anyone seeking an attorney in these matters she is the only lawyer in Cumberland County I would highly recommended . Mrs Thomas was phenomenal at getting results in both matters and i felt confident having her as my attorney.
