Samer Bandak

Samer and his team go above and beyond for their clients. Exceptional client centered focused firm. We are delighted to work with Samer and his team. Keep up the great work!

Samer and Jessica are great lawyers and very nice people. Their rates are clear and fair. They receive my highest recommendation.

I cannot recommend Mr. Bandek enough. He helped me with my post-divorce, relocation case. Before I hired him I was pro-se (representing myself) and my ex and I had hired a child family investigator (CFI), who turned out to be terrible. My ex lied (a lot) to the CFI and provided no best interest factor evidence. The CFI ate it up and ignored all of my best interest evidence that I had submitted to her. Her report provided no analysis and concluded that my daughter should stay in Colorado with my ex, with very little parenting time with me. I hired Samer Bandek right away, we got an excellent new CFI to do a work product review, interrogatories and more and went to court. The judge granted my motion to relocate and awarded be 80% parenting time. Mr. Bandek also allowed me to do some of the work on my own (i wanted this in order to lower costs, etc.) I can’t recommend him enough!

Both Adele Rosenthal and Samer were the best lawyers I could have asked for. Adele (and Samer) put up with my now and again "freak outs" with a kindness and grace that I have never experienced in any attorney. Adele was so knowledgeable about me and my case that I did not have to, or feel the need to, say anything in court. She was elegant and articulate. She was a fierce attorney and a tender listener when I was just needing to vent. I highly recommend her!

Samer was great to work with. He's very knowledgeable about family law, listens attentively and is responsive (he answered probably a dozen late night emails). I really appreciated his level-headed guidance. Highly recommended.

I had the chance to work with Best Interest Family Law Firm and specifically Samer, and honestly, he stands out.

Before him, I spoke with several attorneys and even large firms, and most of them felt transactional. Samer was the only one who actually took the time to listen, understand my situation, and explain what was realistically possible. Not only that, he showed me I could achieve a better outcome than I originally expected.

As someone not originally from the U.S. and unfamiliar with divorce laws, that level of clarity mattered a lot. He was patient, responsive, and never made me feel rushed or confused. Him and his team were consistently supportive and professional throughout the entire process.

What I respected most: he wasn’t trying to drag things out for more money. He focused on the best solution, not billing hours. We worked together as a team, and he made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and manageable.

If you’re looking for a family lawyer you can actually trust, someone who listens, guides, and fights for the best outcome, Samer is the one.

I’m genuinely grateful I found him and his team.

Outstanding lawyer, to say the least. Extremely professional and reliable. In stressful moments, having Samer as our lawyer gave us ease and hope. He is someone you definitely want in your corner and on your side. He is a fierce advocate for his clients and actually cares. Choosing Samer to represent us was the best decision I could have made for our family.

I can't say enough about Samer and his staff. He was always available and VERY helpful. I don't know if I would have gotten through my divorce without his patience and understanding.

Samer fiercely represented me throughout an extremely contentious divorce and I could not recommend him highly enough! Throughout the entire process, his attention to detail and commitment to my case were apparent. He thoroughly reviewed relevant law with me, honestly grounded my expectations for potential outcomes, and devoted time to ensure I was prepared for trial. I hired Samer after firing my previous attorney midway through my case and could not be more satisfied. I switched having reviewed prior clients’ experience raving about his services. Samer is a dedicated professional, exceptional attorney, and you will be grateful to have him representing you.

I must say I was deeply disappointed in my representation from Samer. I did read his several glowing reviews, most of which complimented him as a person not only a lawyer, which I would argue. I’ve had to retain a lawyer more than once, I have a 19 year old whom I won 50/50 custody of, however this is the first lawyer I’ve had that began threatening to withdraw from the case constantly unless I paid more money. I know a lawyer isn’t cheap and I do my best to find one that I can afford; which is why before I retained Samer I let him know my situation to be very transparent. He told me “I would love to represent you”, your case is “right in my wheelhouse” he told me. He even accepted my $2500 retainer as oppose to the $3000 he requires. Everything led me to believe he would be a good fit to help me protect my 3 year old autistic daughter. After my retainer was gone, before I ever saw Samer’s face by the way, he was threatening to withdraw. I made a payment before mediation and told him my pay dates and the dates I could make deposit to be sure I had a retainer before my trial in about 60 days. He then told me that won’t work, he was withdrawing if I didn’t pay him $5000 by the end of the week. After a back and forth I figured it would make more sense to find some way through God to get $2000-$3000, before 60 days, for a new lawyer and pray that I get decent representation from them after being on my case for days. I just wanted to be sure and bring clarity for someone else who may be looking for good, affordable representation. Samer may be a good lawyer, but he is not a good person and I can testify to that. He treated our mediator wrong because she was elderly, he spoke poorly about everyone he brought up to me, he cussed a lot (which I do but not at work) and most importantly he treated me, his client like a transaction. Hopefully this helps someone make a great decision for themselves and their family. I wish everyone the best!

I cannot say enough good things about Best Interest Family Law Firm. I especially want to thank Samer and Adelle for everything they did for me throughout my divorce and custody case.

From the very beginning, they consistently kept me informed and always took the time to respond to my questions. I never once felt ignored or like my situation didn’t matter. They truly cared, and that made such a difference during a very stressful time in my life.

I went into this process thinking my divorce was going to be extremely nasty. However, because of their professionalism and steady approach, they played a huge role in keeping things respectful and productive — even with the opposing party. The other side clearly respected them, which helped tremendously.

They helped us create a strong parenting and financial plan, and most importantly, we avoided unnecessary court appearances. Unlike so many horror stories you hear, the majority of everything was resolved outside of court.

Thank you to this entire team for genuinely caring and not just treating me like another case or paycheck. I’m incredibly grateful for your guidance and support.

I wish I found Samer sooner. I’ve worked with two other attorneys before for other matters, and he absolutely stands out from the crowd. And, while it may sound silly to others, the way he explained things, kept me in the loop and updated me, he really minimized anxiety in a otherwise awful situation.

Thank you so much!! Samer your law firm has been such a blessing for me and my family you were reliable friendly an listened to all my concerns and talked me through what i would say one of the hardest parts in someone's life you talked to me through pros and cons in many questions that I had and I will definitely recommend you to anyone who may need assistance.

I cannot speak highly enough of Samer and team! I was faced with an incredibly stressful, traumatic, and nuanced domestic situation and navigating legal options for the first time was daunting. I had a few consultations with other lawyers, most of which felt like car salesmen trying to push me into incredibly expensive packaged services, and one of whom actually said, "I guess I could take your case if you really think it's worth it." I'm so glad I came across Best Interest Family Law Firm. Samer treated me with dignity and respect from the outset, explaining legalese in terms a novice could easily understand, answering every question without judgment. He and his paralegal kept up on every element and deadline for the 6 months my situation was active. His charging practices are transparent, fair, and completely reasonable, especially considering the depth and breadth of his knowledge of law. I will absolutely utilize his expertise should I need it in the future.

It's taken me a long time to write this as the 'divorce' experience I went through was nothing short of traumatic. To keep it brief, possibly one of the top 5 best decisions I've ever made (filing for divorce aside), was the morning I called Samer Bandak. Life is precious. When you remember that, you'll do anything to retain its integrity. Samer knows this, and his approach isn't just strategic (he's astonishingly bright, quick-witted, and fearless), but he's also deeply committed to you as a person and your undeniable right to live a happy life. If you need or just want the best attorney in the state, certainly in the building, stop looking now and hire Samer.

I had an excellent experience working with Samer at Best Interest Family Law Firm. My custody case was heavily stacked against me, yet Samer’s strong advocacy and strategic approach helped secure a 50/50 custody outcome. He also identified critical legal errors made by opposing counsel, which led to a key issue being dismissed. Throughout the process, Samer was prompt, responsive, efficient with his time, and incredibly supportive. I’m truly grateful for his guidance and highly recommend him to anyone facing a challenging family law matter.

I worked with Samer before he came to Best Interest and ultimately decided it was in my best interest to continue working with him because of how much he cared and how hard he was willing to fight with my case. Enjoyed my time with Samer and although it is one of those “hope to never see you again situations”, if I need another lawyer he will be my first call as he has been many times. Thanks for everything Samer

Samer is an AMAZING lawyer! I love how he brought the heat in court to the other party when it was necessary! He really is in his clients best interest & a cool guy, I would recommend him to anyone 100 x!!!!

Samer is a dedicated and thoughtful attorney who truly knows how to help with navigating the system!

Working with Samer was the easiest lawyer experience I have had. He took his time to explain clearly the plan to be followed and took into account all of my input. This case was resolved very quickly, in a very professional manner and a at a very good cost point.

I can’t recommend Samer A.Bandak highly enough. From the moment we began working together on my custody case, I felt truly supported, heard, and protected. This was not an easy process for me—it was emotional, intense, and deeply personal—but Samer showed up for me in every way.

He fought for me in the courtroom with strength, clarity, and professionalism. His preparation and attention to detail were incredible. I could tell he cared—not just about the outcome, but about me as a person and as a parent. He understood the stakes and advocated with both passion and precision.

What I appreciated most was his honesty, his patience in answering my questions, and his ability to explain legal concepts in a way that made me feel empowered instead of overwhelmed. Even when I was scared or unsure, he stood firm and made sure I had the best possible defense.

If you are looking for someone who will truly fight for you, who knows family law inside and out, and who treats you with respect and humanity every step of the way—look no further. Samer changed my life, and I will always be grateful for his work, dedication, and belief in me.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

I will try to keep this brief....

Samer handled my divorce from start to finish. There are several terms I could use to describe my experience with him: Professional, trusting, communicative, experienced, caring, calm, knowledgeable, efficient, organized, comforting, consistent...... I could go on but there's not enough room. Samer took every aspect of the process and made sure I understood all avenues and options. He also gave me possible outcomes in different situations (nothing is guaranteed in this world), making my decisions educated on every front. Samer acted in a calm professional manner in every aspect of every part of the divorce process. So much so, that the mediator handling our mediation hearing remarked that she "couldn't wait to work with him again. It was a distinct pleasure."

I whole heartedly agree with her sentiments.

I vetted multiple lawyers when I began this process. I am very close with my children, and wanted someone who could work from a reasonable approach, but still be able to stand firm if the need arose. Samer made answered all my questions above and beyond the information I was looking for. In short, Samer killed it for me.....!

I have since referred Samer to multiple other people who unfortunately now must go thru the divorce process. Each one has reported back to me similar experiences.

If you are reading this review, you are likely needing someone on your side to make sure you and/or your children are well represented. I hope you give Samer the opportunity to be on your team. I would trust him to be on my team any day of the week!

“Samer Bandai is the best attorney a father could ask for.”

Working with Samer has truly been a game-changer for me and my family. From the very first consultation, he listened attentively, broke down complicated legal jargon into clear, understandable terms, and developed a strategy that put my kids’ best interests first.

As a dad, I deeply appreciate how Samer combined legal expertise with genuine compassion. He fought tirelessly, made sure I understood every step, and always had my back. Thanks to his dedication, I felt empowered and in control throughout a stressful process.

Samer goes beyond just being an attorney—he’s a trusted advocate who really cares about fathers and their families. I continue to work with him and will do so in the future. If you’re looking for someone who knows the law inside and out and cares deeply about families, Samer Bandai is the one. In my book, he’s #1.

This review is long overdue. I have known Samer for about 4 years now and have always received the most honest and useful advice and guidance. He really cares about his clients and in people in general. It is great to have someone like him on your team…he got your back

Best divorce lawyer in the Denver metro area! Sam is diligent and communicative, explaining the ins and outs of a complicated and stressful process. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Samer Bandak for anyone facing serious legal challenges, especially in family law. He expertly handled both a complex false accusations case with a temporary restraining order and a challenging divorce, achieving successful outcomes in both. As a law enforcement officer, I was impressed by his dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to justice. Thank you, Samer, for your exceptional representation.

Attorney Samer Has Been Phenomenal!

I Would Reccommed him 10/10 to anyone needing family legal help!! Thank You Samer!

Dealing with two separate cases from two different mothers on opposite sides of the spectrum was overwhelming, but Samer managed everything with confidence and compassion. He truly knows family law inside and out. Thanks to his help, I now have a more concrete parenting plan and quality time with my child. Every time an issue came up, he was there with support and solutions. If you're looking for an affordable, caring, intelligent, and knowledgeable attorney—Samer is the one you want in your corner!

I highly recommend Best Interest Family Law Firm and Samer Bandak for his exceptional legal support during an incredibly difficult time in my life. He guided me through a protection order and complex dissolution of marriage (divorce) process with professionalism, compassion, and expertise. Samer took the time to listen to my concerns, explained my options clearly, and acted swiftly to ensure my safety. His attention to detail and dedication gave me confidence every step of the way. Thanks to his skillful representation, I was able to secure the outcome I desperately needed. His office staff was superb and did not delay any communication with me. He treated me like a family member and I felt very lucky to have found him. If you’re facing a challenging situation and need a reliable, knowledgeable attorney, Best Interest Family law is the firm to trust.

Samer is absolutely positively hands down the BEST at what he does. He cares on a personal level of the outcome of your case. My only regret in my case, is that I didn’t hire him sooner. He is an absolute fighter with SO much knowledge. He is fair and will shoot it to you straight. He had a better understanding of my case in the 4 weeks he represented me before trial than ANY attorney I’ve hired in the last 7 years. Thank you Samer for all you’ve done for me and my family! We can’t thank you enough.
