I found Samantha by pure luck. Another lawyer wouldn’t take my case because she thought I was unreasonable for not wanting to pay alimony and referred me to Samantha. Samantha got right to work and finished in less than two weeks what my previous lawyers had dragged on for almost 2 years. She stayed in contact with me every step of the way and walked me through everything with very clear instructions. She is a no nonsense lawyer that fought hard and fast for me. She was able to settle my case out of court and I came away better off than I had hoped for. My ex wife’s lawyer was no match Samantha and I don’t think there is another one in town that is. If you want the best possible outcome for your case, hire Samantha Mentzel. My only regret is that I didn’t hire her sooner. Thanks again Samantha for helping me out and doing a great job! Ree

Sam Mentzel is our hero! I was worried sick thinking of ways to be able to keep my daughter safe and after 4 consolations I called Sam. She was the only one to have read everything about my case and let me tell you she must be able to see the future!! She foretold everything in my case. She never gave me false expectations or bad advice. She picked me up when she knew I was down. It’s because of her I can keep my family safe!

Samantha J Mentzel was in charge of my divorce after a prior bad experience with someone else. As soon as I contacted Samantha she explained perfectly how my case would be taken care of. She got started right away and was always in communication with me about my case. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I definitely recommend her services she is very professional.

I sought out a knowledgeable, professional and experienced attorney for a custody/child support dispute with my ex-husband and Samantha assured me right away of my rights and what to expect in court. With previous lawyers, I felt blindsided at times but with Samantha I was cool as a cucumber the entire time. She's so experienced with all things divorce and custody and I felt like my best interest was always the number one thing on her priority list!!! I will continue to retain Samantha for all future custody/child support issues. She is the best attorney I have ever had and feel 100% confident that she's the best attorney for me and anyone who needs help!

I was very nervous about my divorce case and that I wasn’t going to be able to get what I wanted and deserved out of it for my daughter. But Samantha stepped in and got me every single thing I asked for! She’s the best!

Samantha rocks. Opposition had no idea what they were in store for and thought they would play their usual games. She chewed them up and spit them out .

Hired Samantha for child custody. Sam is very fair and straight forward. If you’re looking for someone who cares, you’ve found her! She’s amazing. I will never hire someone else!

Hired Samantha to represent me in a divorce. She completed the task on schedule as well as well being within the budget she initially told me. She exceeded my expectipns at every juncture. During mediation, Samantha totally controlled the procedure. I felt she was very strong while at the same time being fair. She guided me through a very difficult time in my life.

Had an amazing experience with Samantha during a difficult time in my life. Communication was perfect, staff was friendly and on top things. They turned a stressful situation into no stress at all.

I was taken to court for frivolous reasons, and our case goes back about 5 years. She pulled up strong, pertinent details that I had forgotten about and presented our side with facts, evidence and in a very professional manner. And very efficiently! She also made some very good suggestions that I did not think about and in the end it benefitted the welfare of our daughter, which mattered the most. She's very thorough and she cares!
