Law Office of Sam B. Shiff

Attorney Sam Shiff helped me with a difficult divorce, that turned into a custody dispute immediately after. I was extremely concerned during the divorce, but Sam's dedication to my case gave me comfort. The results speak for themselves. Im a man in massachusetts that was awarded full custody of my 8yr old son, and it is a direct result of the diligence Sam and his lawfirm displayed throughout the entire proceedings. There's not enough stars to give him a real rating. Highly recommended is an understatement. Rates were extremely reasonable and his ability to connect to me as a client was amazing.

Review: 5 Stars (And a Medal of Valor) If you’re looking for a lawyer who is part legal shark, part seasoned therapist, and part saint, look no further than Attorney Sam B. Shiff. For two years—arguably the most chaotic chapter of my life—this man didn’t just represent me; he survived me. While I was navigating some incredibly heavy personal abuse and feeling completely cast aside by the system, he was the only one who refused to tap out. A few highlights of his service: The "Great Escape": He successfully bailed me out of more than one "situation" that was, shall we say, legally spicy. The Patience of Job: He sat through my legendary, hour-long rants where I attempted to link my current legal woes to obscure 19th-century historical figures and various "unconfirmed" global theories. He didn't hang up; he just waited for me to take a breath and then asked, "Okay, but did you sign the affidavit?" The Focus: He somehow managed to herd the caffeinated cats of my scatter-brain and keep me pointed toward the finish line. I walked into his office disenfranchised and broken; I walked out the other side stable, victorious, and genuinely better than when I started. If he can handle me at my "History Channel at 3 AM" peak, he can handle anything you throw at him. And now my son is back in my life. Thank God, and thank you, Sam.

So excited to write this review for Atty. Sam Shiff! Going through any divorce, even an uncontested (1A) one, is never easy. Before finding Atty Sam Shiff, I reached out to several lawyers who made the process feel purely transactional. Because my case was 1A, I often felt like I wasn’t a priority, until I met Atty Sam Shiff. From the start, he listened, understood, and never judged. Atty Sam Shiff doesn’t give the typical "lawyer" vibe. He gives much more. He has a calm, strategic approach, with the clarity and composure of a high-level C-suite consultant. He speaks facts: direct, logical, and focused. There are no long-winded talks just to "add to the bill"; every interaction is purposeful and efficient. Those plus being empathetic were super helpful. As a super busy solo parent balancing full-time work and full-time parenthood, having Atty Sam Shiff on my side through my divorce was an incredible relief. His meetings are focused and time-efficient. We always set a clear purpose, stayed on track, and made progress that fit my schedule. He sets clear expectations on what to tackle at a given time, and if we have a short time window to speak, we set priorities and schedule another time to discuss longer or more detailed topics. I like having a structure but with flexibility, it allowed me to stay engaged in the process without feeling chaotic, overwhelmed or rushed. And then he lays out clear steps so you always know what to do next. That’s incredibly helpful during a divorce, when emotions can run high and decisions feel heavy. Atty Sam Shiff guides you in a way that keeps things grounded, thoughtful, and always in your best interest, for you, your family, and your children. My case was unique, my husband lived abroad, and we had been separated for over 3 years before finally deciding to proceed with a 1A divorce. Despite that complexity, Atty Sam Shiff handled everything with care. We drafted all the documents together, and he explained every step in clear, simple terms. Even when personal delays happened, he remained patient, understanding, and ready to help at any moment. He’s always just a text away and manages expectations so well that you never feel left waiting or forgotten. He also cares deeply about family well-being. When I once brought my son with me to pick up a document, he took the time to speak kindly to him. That left such a strong impression that my son later said he wanted to be a lawyer like Atty Sam Shiff (at least at that time they met 😄. If you want someone you’d want in your "village" someone who brings expertise, empathy, integrity, and steady guidance. Atty Sam Shiff is your top choice. He doesn’t just handle your case; he walks beside you through it. I have so much respect for Atty Sam Shiff, not just as a lawyer, but as a person.
