You will not find a better attorney to represent you in a divorce, than Sam Bradley. He is worth every penny. I went through a contested divorce and then a custody battle again two years later. Sam’s preparedness and knowledge made a stressful situation much easier. He knows his stuff and is extremely knowledgeable in regards to domestic law. He will get you the best possible outcome. He is passionate and goes to bat for his clients. Sam was great and helped me get the end result I wanted. You will not find a better divorce attorney in the area.

I worked with Attorney Bradley and Laura for 3 years while going through my divorce. They both were quick to answer questions and give me straight answers. I had several issues with my ex not following court orders and Attorney Bradley always answered my urgent emails promptly. He never stopped fighting for myself and children and walked me through the GAL process when we got to that point. He was always well prepared for any court hearing I had and the court respects him. (Staff and judges) We were never unprepared for anything my ex threw at us. He is not unrealistic when giving advice or suggesting what we should pursue in regards to the divorce or custody.

Attorney Bradley handled my divorce and the additional matters related to it. I could not be happier with his representation. Not only did Attorney Bradley represent me diligently, but he exhibited a profound sense of professionalism. When sitting in the courthouse during the proceedings, I recall seeing others talking with their attorneys in the hallways about very private and sensitive matters; Attorney Bradley always took me aside so we could speak privately and discretely - he was devoted not only to securing the best possible outcome for me, but also to making me feel comfortable during a very uncomfortable time. Attorney Bradley always answered or returned my calls promptly, listened to me, and thoughtfully answered all my questions and concerns. His paralegal, Laura, was amazing and took part in making my difficult experiences much less stressful and troublesome. Simply put, I cannot imagine a different attorney handling my situation better than Attorney Bradley and Laura. I cannot put into words how much I appreciate everything he and his staff did for me. I highly recommend Attorney Bradley to anyone in need of dedicated, caring, and personable legal representation.

As a client whose desire was to remain involved in the lives of my children, I found Sam to be an excellent choice to represent me in my contested divorce case. His experience with the court is excellent, and he has a very realistic approach in managing expectations and desired outcomes. Sam shared my beliefs in what represented the best interests of my children, and we stayed the course for a successful outcome. I felt that Sam “had my back” from the very start. He and his paralegal Laura are very organized and detail oriented, he had a "belt and suspenders" approach in managing the details of my case. Sam's approach is very pragmatic, defined by dealing with things sensibly and realistically in a way that is based on practical rather than theoretical considerations. Sam was the right choice for me.

I would recommend Sam Bradley to anyone in need of a really good lawyer. Sam is a very straight forward and compassionate lawyer! He never stopped fighting for my case. He fought for my case for 2 years. Sam and Laura were there for me not only on the professional level but also as friends. There really is no words to explain how wonderful he is. In the future if I have to go back into court I will only have Sam as my attorney. I wouldn't trust anyone else to be by my side fighting for my son! I would recommend Sam's office over and over! Thank you Sam and Laura for everything you have done for my son and myself and for always being there for me!

MR BRADLEY REPRESENTED MY INTEREST IN AN OUT-OF-STATE CUSTODIAL CASE THREE YEARS AGO. BECAUSE OF THAT REPRESENTATION, I CALLED ON HIM AGAIN 15 MONTHS AGO FOR RETROACTIVE CHILD SUPPORT & OUT-OF-POCKET MEDICAL EXPENSES. I NEEDED A LOT OF PATIENCE BECAUSE COURTS ARE SLOW, BUT MR. BRADLEY KEPT ME GROUNDED & MADE SURE ALL THE GROUNDWORK WAS LAID. HE & HIS PARALEGAL DO THEIR HOMEWORK PUTTING IN MANY MANY HOURS OF WORK. MR. BRADLEY EVEN FOUGHT "CITY HALL" IN GETTING THE COURT COSTS REVERSED AFTER I WAS CHARGED FOR THEM. ALL I HAD TO ASK HIM WAS WHY I WAS CHARGED WITH THEM WHEN THE OTHER PARTY WAS FOUND IN CONTEMPT. NOT ONLY DID HE PURSUE THAT QUESTION AND WIN THE ARGUMENT, BUT DID NOT CHARGE ME FOR HIS TIME OR EFFORT. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS: THE GUY IS A PIT BULL PERIOD! ALTHOUGH HIS PARALEGAL IS A REAL SWEETHEART, SHE IS MR. BRADLEY'S SIDEKICK & IS EQUALLY COMPETENT IN LAW MATTERS. I REAPED THE HARVEST OF WHAT I WAS DUE BECAUSE OF THIS PAIR'S EFFORTS. I AM VERY THANKFUL EVERY DAY FROM OUT-OF-STATE.

Attorney Sam Bradley was referred to me by another attorney when I needed representation regarding a contested child custody case in the Court Of Common Pleas in Lorain County, Ohio. I have worked closely with Attorney Bradley since November, 2012 and I am extremely pleased with his professionalism, very detailed knowledge of the law, attention to detail and dedication to attaining the best possible outcome for me in my case. Sam has helped to make this very difficult legal process a little less intimidating for me by fully explaining the law, my options and providing me with a "roadmap" to get through this ordeal. My child is the most important person in my life and I feel very fortunate to have retained Sam to represent me in this matter. I absolutely recommend Attorney Bradley to anyone in need of an aggressive, experienced and personable lawyer.

Sam was recommended to me by an acquantance who had utilized his knowledge through her divorce. I did not know what to expect but was very pleased. There was no doubt in my mind that this man knows & loves what he does. He is down-to-earth, approachable & patient. His office is extremely organized & his paraleagal is superwoman. I could not have found a better attorney to handle this difficult process. When all was said & done, the fee could have easily been 25% more than what I paid for the excellent service provided to me. Sam went out of his way to help me. He is an outstanding lawyer & a genuine individual.

I have worked with many attorneys. Sam Bradley is an excellent attorney. The reason I say that is because he knows what he is doing, experienced, and listens. Ask questions, be knowledgeable yourself, participate, and you will be happy working with Mr. Bradley.

Attorney Bradley was great at listening to my problems. He told me how he would go about handling my case, did exactly what he promised and ended up getting me what I wanted. In choosing him over the other lawyers I talked with was the best decision I made before filing for divorce. I definitely would recommend him to others.

I believe that Mr. Bradley kept my best interests at heart along with my children. I believe he was confident and his staff was excellent. When he was unavailable, I could always tell them my situation and they would return my call as soon as they found out the correct answer. My divorce was easier with Mr. Bradley at my side.

After almost 15 years I found myself needing a divorced with 3 children. Sam Bradley was personable; gave me advise; told me what would happen and the timeline things"should"happen.During our chat with x n his lawyer there was something I was not signing until it was removed. Though my atty advised that I should sign,I did not want it worded that way.We all have to remember that we are the ones that have to face the mirror each day.Mr. Bradley was not mad or disrepectbul to me for not taking his advise.He was glad that I stood up for me.Awsome
