Divorce and Child Custody Cases

I hired Attorney Samantha Thomas to handle my divorce and child custody case. I was very pleased with the great service that I received and how professional the staff was. I would highly recommend The services of Thomas Law Firm to complete your legal needs.Not only were the outcome of my cases favo...rable through litigation, but Attorney Thomas worked hard to round out the rough edges of my case. If you want proven, hard working results with your legal issues , I would consider giving her a call.

Child Custody, Contempt, Protective Order, Family Criminal Case. (Hire Hire Hire)

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.

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

Child Support

I hired TLF around June for a child support case. All communication lines by phone and email all cost. The only thing free is regarding your bill. I assume with this law firm, if you are not talking about money then you are not talking about nothing. No update about your case unless via email. You wo...uld assume due to her been busy this is why communication is so lacking. Even if you talk to the paralegals about understanding your case/questions they would recommend to talk to her, but she barely available to address the issues and will charge you. Money over understanding and communication at this law firm!!!!
