I was probably the worse client a divorce attorney could have I was super stressed out daily, calling and emailing Masah every day and changing my mind about decisions we already agreed upon multiple times, as you can imagine a divorce is hard on everyone especially when the parties don’t agree on anything, Masah is amazing she stepped into my very messy ( already ongoing case with a terrible attorney of whom didn’t care about me one bit) and she sorted out everything, helped me make decisions with a clear mind instead of acting on pain and SHE ACTUALLY CARES about her clients, I HIGHLY Recommend
I am so grateful for Attorney Samforay. I did not want to have to ever go through a divorce, and I definitely didn't want it to be as hard and difficult as it was. But at least I had Attorney Samforay to fight with me. She was really open with me about what it could look like and how long it could take, and in the end it took almost a year to finish. But she talked to me before and after all my court dates and explained everything every step of the way. My ex-husband didn't want to pay anything. He didn't want to pay his fair share for our 4 kids. He didn't want to pay for college for my oldest. He basically just wanted to walk away from everything and leave me holding the bag. My cousin, who is a lawyer, referred me to Attorney Samforay and she was a blessing. I don't wish divorce on anyone, but at least if you have to go through it, get Ms. Samforay.
My name is Lavor and I am going into my last semester of college. Through my whole college experience I have struggled to get a chance to see them. The mother of my children had complete control on when I see my kids, how much time, and what I can and cannot do with them. In these situations the male is always viewed as the bad guy. Masah did view me as that. She help me get back connect to my kids and finally get control of my life!
I had been married a little over a year, when the marriage took a turn for the worst, my now ex- husband decided to take his abuse up a notch to physical. After I obtained an order of protection, I contacted Attorney SamForay for a consultation. During the consultation she listen with sincerity and empathy. At the time I wasn't sure if I wanted the divorce, however I knew that I didn't want him back in my home. Attorney SamForay explain to me legally how he could possibly end up back in my home if I chose to handle it on my own. Without thinking further, I hired her to represent me. She is very knowledgeable and to the point. When we first started the process my ex-husband didn't have an attorney, we figured it wouldn't take long since we hadn't been married long and didn't have any assets to divide. For some reason he hired an attorney, once attorney SamForay learned of this she let me know that his attorney doesn't move fast on cases and that we would most likely finish sometime in May or June, it was October when we had this conversation. At the first court date she bluntly let my ex-husband know that she will not allow him to intimidate me as he had tried when he violated the OP by sending multiple text messages. I knew then she wasn't a force to be reckoned with. After the conversation she had with him, he wouldn't even look at me when were in court. :-) Each court date, she was on time, prepared and presented herself professionally. She kept me updated on what was going on with my case. She constantly stayed on top of my case, being persistent in contacting the other attorney asking what was the hold up, we needed to get this done. As she had predicted, my divorce was final in June. I also had the pleasure of working with Attorney Scott. She is also on top of her game, and very professional. Attorney SamForay and the ladies on her team are no joke, these women are fierce!! I am so glad I hired these ladies to represent me.
I have two children a seven year-old daughter and a nine year-old son. The case I had was a visitation and custody case in Will County. When I hired Masah she was able to get my kids and secure them immediately with an order of protection because my kids’ mother was keeping them and hiding them from me. What I wanted was to make sure that I make the primary decision for them as far as school, healthcare and extra-curriculars. And I wanted to make sure that they had certain standards and the lifestyle I envisioned for them, and my dreams came true in a short period of time. My kids live with me and have the same school and friends. Masah gets things done quickly, she’s very aggressive and made sure that every court date mattered. She’s passionate about kids and doing the right thing.
My daughter kept coming home from visitation with her father, saying that he was drinking and physically abusing his new girlfriend. And he was violent with me when we were together. It got to the point that she would cry every time she went over there. I didn't know what to do. Attorney Masah helped me and she fought really hard for me and my daughter. In the end my ex ended up with no visitation for a while and then he ended up with supervised visitation. My daughter was put in counseling and she's doing much better. I just can't thank her enough.
We had a monthly contract for two years and nothing ever got done. It cost me four times as much to get a divorce and still no resolution. They never returned my calls but kept changing me a grand a month with no accountability for how my mom was being spent. I finally went with Courtney Mehta who gives detailed accounting of the money charged. Do not use this law firm it’s a ripoff. Their billboards in minority neighborhoods are deceptive I spent so much money on a divorce that should have been done in a year but they stretched it out to make more money on me. Beware what you agree to and do your research on how to get good legal service
Don't be fooled by the "monthly payment" instead of a lump sum retainer. Ended up costing me way more than I should have paid. Unprofessional, cheap service, bare minimum effort! Sent me contracts with other peoples names and information on them. Had divorce papers sent to my home and given to my 17 yr old son vs having the ex served at her job like I requested as she was not living with me anymore. Terrible attorney and business owner!
I would not suggest hiring this firm for any reason. This firm is inconsiderate, unprofessional and greedy. You will pay handsomely for an excessive period of time and see absolutely no result.
