TESTIMONIALS
“Samantha has successfully handled many family law matters involving issues of custody, access and child support. In one particular case, she represented a single mother who sought to obtain custody and support for her two (2) children. The issues were complicated by the fact that the father was living in another jurisdiction. Nevertheless, Samantha was able to assist the client and obtain final orders for custody and child support with affidavit evidence in a short and timely manner.”
