Child custody

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.

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.

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.

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.
