If you're looking for a family lawyer who will actually show up prepared, advocate fiercely, and…read moremake you feel safe and supported throughout the entire process, Sarah is it. She ATE and left NO crumbs. From the moment I hired her, I felt a sense of relief. She was responsive, dependable, and incredibly thorough. What stood out the most to me was how seriously she took preparation. Sarah didn't just show up on the day of court and wing it like so many others I've dealt with in the past; she came ready, organized, and sharp. I didn't have to carry the emotional or strategic weight of the case on my own this time. She had my back at every turn and stepped in exactly when I needed someone to speak up for me. Her expertise and presence gave me a sense of calm in a situation that was anything but peaceful. I've had lawyers in the past who left me feeling disappointed and unheard, but hiring Sarah reminded me that good representation does exist; you just have to find the right person. And for me, that was her. While hiring her did require a financial stretch for me, it was absolutely worth every penny. I don't regret a single dollar spent because having someone like Sarah in my corner made all the difference. If I had the means, I'd continue working with her without hesitation. I genuinely wish I could keep her on for my follow-up with the judge, but unfortunately, that's not possible right now. Still, I'm incredibly grateful I had her in my corner when it mattered most. I've got two more years of court ahead, and while I hope I won't need to hire her again (because let's be real, no one wants to be stuck in family court forever), if I ever do, Sarah will be my first call. Thank you, Sarah, for everything. You reminded me what it feels like to be truly represented.

He was my attorney on a recent case. Which he won for me - so that gets a star…read more We spoke over the phone during my consultation - but never met in person until meeting at the courthouse. There was no contract - I paid with cash. The case ended up requiring a follow-up court date - since there was no contract, he charged me the same fee as the first time. He didn't obtain any of the police records. He didn't perform any background searches on my opponent. My opponent's attorney arrived prepared with these documents. When I asked him why he hadn't done any of this - he told me that he was trying to help me save money. He told me I would need to provide any such documents to him. I had to pay to have these things done on my own time and bring the documents to him for our follow-up court date. I overheard my opponent and her attorney discussing their previous meetings and expected questions. He never prepared me for any line of questioning (him or opposing counsel). Afterwards, I asked him if we could meet before the second court date and he replied 'Sure. Call my office and schedule the appointment.' I'm happy that I won - but I am unhappy with the service I received. Additionally, I regret that I went into this without a contract. Once a follow-up date was deemed necessary, I felt very vulnerable regarding what he would charge me and I was afraid to consider another attorney for the follow-up. I learned a tough lesson. Ultimately, I am happy that it was a victory - but if I should ever need an attorney again - I would look elsewhere.

Save yourself years of regret. Hiring Sam Smith and Kira Damusis was one of the most damaging…read moredecisions I've ever made during an already traumatic divorce. I trusted them with the safety of my child and the outcome of my custody case, and they failed me at every step. Sam Smith personally sold me on her "hands-on" approach, but after retaining the firm, she never touched my case again. Not once. Even after repeated requests for her attendance at hearings, only Kira showed up, despite Sam being the one whose services I was promised and paid for. Their handling of evidence was unforgivable. I provided multiple notarized affidavits, photos, recordings, and documentation of my ex-husband's substance abuse disorder, none of which were submitted to the court. As a direct result of this negligence, I now share 50/50 custody with a parent who poses safety concerns to our child. This outcome could have been prevented had they done the most basic part of their job. They also submitted my divorce documents late, which unnecessarily extended my case by four months. At no point did they take responsibility for this delay. The professional conduct was just as disturbing. During a charged and vulnerable phone meeting, Kira yelled at me and victim‑blamed me, saying: "Well, you shouldn't have married a drug addict." That was her legal "guidance" as I was trying to advocate for my child's safety. They provided me with an incorrect holiday schedule, which caused an incident where my ex‑husband abused his time. Because their schedule didn't match the court order, enforcement was impossible. This is basic family‑law competence, and they failed it. I later learned, through other attorneys and court personnel, about several crucial protections that could have been included in my custody agreement: stipulations for communication, consequences for violations, safety conditions, and specific parental responsibilities. None of these were ever offered, suggested, or even discussed. They simply did the bare minimum. I never met either attorney in person. Communication was inconsistent, sometimes disappearing for long periods, and Kira even called me during vacations with abrupt and unpleasant demands. At one hearing, she provoked the judge and made the situation worse. I drafted the distribution‑of‑assets outline myself, and they inserted it verbatim into the judgment with no advisement, no professional guidance, and no required financial stipulations (timelines, interest, consequences for nonpayment). Again, I did the work; they collected the fee. These lawyers failed to protect me, failed to protect my child, and failed to uphold even the minimum standards of competent legal representation. I regret ever hiring them, and I strongly urge anyone considering them to look elsewhere.
