As working mom of 3 kids, I understand the busyness of the weekday; school, activities, and your own job. That's why I offer flexible days and times for when we need to meet in-person.

"I worked with Samantha on putting together a contract for my coaching business. She was prompt with responding, revising and producing the final agreement and more importantly, she was incredibly attentive to my needs. She offered suggestions to ensure I was protected in all directions and I felt like she actually cared about the integrity of my business. I could not be more pleased with her approach to customer service, her legal knowledge, and the overall experience. Running my business without worrying about potential legal issues is invaluable. Highly recommend!!"

About Me.
By the time I walked the graduation stage for DePaul Law School, I had a 2-year-old and was pregnant with my second. Being a new mom and a new attorney brought me to a crossroads very early on in my career, and so I did what was best for me: work for myself while I take care of my kids. I educated myself and sought out mentors to guide me and check my work. Estate Planning was a simple choice as I understood the need for planning and picking guardians. As I worked and met so many other "stay-at-home" moms who wanted to build their own businesses, I found myself helping them as well. I have always been business minded and found assisting these women empowered them and myself. Now here I am, a mom of 3 who has helped many clients throughout the years and have grown my experience from simple client contracts to complex Operating Agreements and Equity Transfers (among other things). No one can time manage better than a mom, and so I have done all of this while also running a nonprofit I founded, The FEMISH Organization, after experiencing sexism in the legal industry. This has led me to travels, speaking engagements, and a stronger understanding of who I am as a person and as an attorney.
