Claire Samuels is a blatant money grab and complete waste of time. Claire advertises on her website to be a “Compassionate mediator with years of legal experience”. Claire actually stated to me ( a 63 year old female married 16 years together 18 years) on our 2nd round of Divorce mediation with her “You created this mess you are in”, “You were the one who chose to marry this man”...
Claire Samuels is a blatant money grab and complete waste of time. Claire advertises on her website to be a “Compassionate mediator with years of legal experience”. Claire actually stated to me ( a 63 year old female married 16 years together 18 years) on our 2nd round of Divorce mediation with her “You created this mess you are in”, “You were the one who chose to marry this man” and “All you want to do is argue” when I tried to express to her my true feelings and concerns during our contentious Divorce mediations. She slammed the door between our opposing counsel conference rooms to express her disdain with the situation. These are the actions of a self proclaimed, highly rated in legal experience, compassionate and calming mediator? Claire added absolutely nothing constructive to achieve positive results in both of our mediations with her. She charges $400.00 an hour plus we pay our attorneys hourly rates for this time as well. She pushes the mediation to a full day each time in order to get her pay. She then actually advised our attorneys to schedule a 3rd mediation for us!!! Insane and Ridiculous!! Claire Samuels is an overrated, self absorbed complete waste of time and money.
Claire is devoted to helping her clients navigate the rough waters of divorce in the best possible way. Claire is smart, thorough and caring. You can’t go wrong having Claire on your divorce team.
I was so fortunate that my neighbor recommended Claire to me. Since day 1, she hasn’t stopped fighting for me and my two little boys. She is the perfect balance of being fierce and compassionate.
Claire is the type of attorney you want on your side. She is tough, fair, professional and responsive. Because of Claire's focus on collaboration, we reached our best-case scenario agreement while also maintaining a positive co-parenting relationship. Claire cares deeply for her clients and it shows.
