Samantha has dedicated her career to defending and advocating for individuals in both criminal and family law matters. She began her journey as a sexual assault prosecutor in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she represented the State in numerous civil commitments and sexual assault cases. This early experience provided her with a strong foundation in litigation, which she later applied to family law.

Samantha is deeply committed to supporting those who have faced interpersonal violence within their households. At the same time, she is experienced in defending against false claims of violence in family court. She is a firm believer in the right of every individual to have their family law or criminal law issues handled with fairness and integrity.

Her current practice encompasses a broad spectrum of family law services, including divorce, complex custody evaluations, high-conflict custody and visitation disputes, high-asset property division, and contested spousal support motions. Samantha recognizes that each case is unique, with its own set of needs and priorities. She collaborates closely with her clients to assess their specific situations and provide tailored options throughout the litigation process.

Samantha has represented clients across several Bay Area counties, including Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Alameda. Outside of her legal work, she enjoys traveling, skydiving with her husband, and running with one of her three dogs.
