Samin Beringer was my attorney from January – November 2012. I followed Mrs. Beringer to her private practice, which was the best decision I could have ever made and I am very grateful for what Mrs. Beringer did for my family. Mrs. Beringer represented me knowledgably, reliably and aggressively through my very long and drawn out custody/child support/move away case. I was the Respondent for my case, but never felt too overwhelmed in my extremely stressful case because of Mrs. Beringer’s perseverance. I think I had a very difficult case, and it was VERY time consuming; but, Mrs. Beringer was always 5 steps ahead of the Petitioner. There were many long and tedious hearings that Mrs. Beringer was always prepared for and she always ensured I was prepared, also. I never second guessed any advise/recommendations that were given by Mrs. Beringer and followed her lead and put the outcome of my family’s lives in her hands and it proved to be, yet again, another very good decision. In the end, I was able to relocate with my children to Northern California to begin our new lives together. I have recommended friends to Mrs. Beringer and will continue to so. I will also continue to use her as legal counsel when the need arises. Mrs. Beringer has always been quick to respond. I have NEVER had any issues with contacting her, every email and/or phone call was returned in a very timely manner.

I was very impressed with Samin. She handled my situation perfectly. She was on time with all filings and communicated with me almost daily so I was always informed of any progress my case was having. She managed to litigate with the opposing attorney and came up with a stipulation and order so that my case never had to go to court!! I would definitely recommend her to any friends/family members who need her services!! Thank you Samin so much for all you did for me!!

I was referred to Ms. Beringer by a family friend, a past client who continuously praised her professionalism and expertise. During my divorce I was also dealing with a serious illness, so needless to say it was a very difficult time for me. Ms. Samin Vali Beringer made the entire process so quick and painless. She advised me exactly what to expect along the way and took care of everything imaginable. Not only is she a knowledgeable attorney, but she is extremely personable and pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend Samin to my own family, friends, or anyone in need of a family law attorney.

Samin helped me with my divorce in 2007/2008. I was initially very concerned with the amount of time, money and energy that the divorce would take. However, Samin made the process much less daunting. She was understanding and responsive. Samin helped me complete all of the paperwork and the case was resolved more quickly than I expected. She helped me obtain a fair settlement and I was THRILLED that I never had to step foot in a court room. If I ever have to go through any sort of family law proceedings again, I would hire Samin in a flash.

Samin is an amazing attorney to work with. She was very attentive to MY needs as a father and worked to help me get the best possible situation for my family. I can't say enough about how knowledgeable she was. And her rates are more than reasonable for the average guy or family which is one of the many things that makes her the only family law attorney I'll use in San Diego.

I read Fischer & Van Thiel's tag line, "Here to mediate, Ready to Litigate." Was impressed and hired the firm to help me through my divorce. I was never disappointed. After settling most of the issues in my case my husband attempted to stonewall. Mr. Van Thiel advised me of the possible outcomes at trial and we called the bluff and set the matter for a trial. Very quickly the remaining issues were settled and my divorce was handled with terms I agreed to and was willing to live with.
