Hired Attorney 2025I had a very disappointing experience with attorney Samantha Hazel. She was unresponsive for long periods despite multiple emails, missed scheduled in-person meetings, and arrived unprepared for a call. She admitted to being unavailable due to personal reasons, which caused delays, and initially claimed she had the capacity to take on my case but later made excuses to delay filings, making the process frustrating. After I terminated her services, she sent unprofessional and repetitive emails justifying her actions. She also claimed I was "rude" to her, which I found unwarranted. Overall, I felt her conduct was unprofessional, unhelpful, and she did not provide the services I paid for. I do not recommend her based on my experience.

Hired Attorney 2023-2024Now that my divorce is settled I finally feel comfortable to leave a review. Samantha Hazel is a terrible attorney. My ex and I had a pretty complicated divorce due to debt, tons of marital assets and a child being involved. Samantha was condescending, rude, and acted as if she was BOTHERED because she was on vacation while I had deadlines to be met. She missed my deadline to have everything filed. After doing so let me know that she was going to work for OPPOSING COUNSEL so I would need to find another attorney. No other attorney wanted to pick it up because of the fact that she didn’t meet deadlines. Samantha spoke to me as if I just get divorced every other day and should just know what she is talking about. Samantha worked for herself on this case. I didn’t expect that Samantha was working for free but I also didn’t expect that she would tell me that she would deal with things and not deal with them. My ex and I are not on good terms and don’t agree on much these days but I can tell you we both agree that we were taken advantage of by both attorneys. In short- Samantha is rude, unprofessional, condescending and to be frank Just a B. This is my personal experience with her and I hope others proceed with caution.
