Wendy was a big help with a recent matter. Took time out of her busy day to ease my worries and explain what I could do if needed. Big thanks
I had the privilege of working with Tracy Hawkes and I truly can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the very first meeting, she was attentive, patient, and genuinely cared about my situation. She took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that made me feel informed and comfortable. I would highly recommend her services!
I am an attorney myself and retained Samuelson Hause for my divorce and for a co-habitation agreement. I worked with Tracy and she was amazing, each and every step along the way. I highly recommend the firm for your matrimonial/family needs.
I interviewed a handful of lawyers before settling on Samuelson Hause. I wasn’t exactly thrilled with having to pay for the initial consult (which gets credited back if you sign a retainer) because all the others gave free consults. However, SH came very highly recommended and this was certainly not an area that I wanted to bargain hunt on. I did the initial consult with Wendy Samuelson, who spent over 90 minutes with me (beyond the expected one hour) going over my case and discussing strategy at a very high level. I knew after that session that I had found my lawyer, thinking that’s exactly who I do not want to see as opposing counsel in court. I primarily worked with her associate, Tracy Hawkes, who shares the same steely and thorough approach. We spent many hours on the phone/emails discussing strategy and necessary steps (discovery is a painful administrative exercise). Wendy also oversaw my case. Throughout my entire experience, Tracy was always responsive, knowledgeable, thorough, and strategic. Administratively, billing was always straightforward and detailed (paralegals Luis and Kathy are great). For the initial four-way that followed months later, I requested that both Wendy and Tracy be present as my representation. After roughly three hours at the Samuelson office, we reached an agreement with OC. I had already resigned myself to a very long and protracted negotiation process, so I could not have been more overjoyed that we settled after only one meeting. Look no further for your divorce lawyer. SH is the best representation that you will find: strategic, knowledgeable, thorough, and compassionate. Retain SH and start moving on with your life.
Wendy represented me for a prenuptial agreement under a very tight timeline (3 weeks prior to wedding). Wendy advocated for me throughout the process, helped explain the complexities of the concepts and legal issues involved, and approached the process collaboratively. She was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her.
Very positive experience working with Wendy and team.
Wendy represented me for my prenuptial agreement, and I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to support me through it. She and her firm are professional, diligent, responsive, and most importantly, kind and understanding. As someone who used to practice family law, I can attest that Wendy and her firm would be a wonderful choice to support you in your family law matter. Thanks, Wendy!
I am an estate and tax attorney. I recently worked with Wendy Samuelson on one of my ultra-high net worth estate planning clients in connection with the establishment of a prenuptial agreement. Working with Wendy was a pleasure. She is extremely knowledgeable in her area of law, and the end product was fantastic. Client was very satisfied. I highly recommend Wendy for Family Law matters, including divorce, custody and prenuptial agreements.
Wendy was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was thorough and gave my matter the time and attention it needed.
Wendy and her team helped me navigate a stressful scenario seamlessly. They were very focused on my general well-being throughout the process, and felt very supported by them. Highly recommend.
