Samantha Hazel brings almost two decades of experience practicing law in Oregon and is the rare native, third generation Oregonian. She grew up in Clackamas County and still lives here. Samantha is passionate about helping clients understand their legal situation and what their options are. She works with people to determine the best strategy to resolve their unique legal issue in a way that is right for them. Her practice focuses on all areas of domestic relations law, whether you need a lawyer in the courtroom or at the mediation table. She handles complex financial cases and difficult custody situations, as well as prenuptial agreements, restraining and stalking orders, and modification of support issues.
Samantha Hazel started her legal career as a deputy district attorney in Clackamas County. She practiced in civil litigation before focusing on domestic relations. She received her JD at University of Oregon and her MBA from the University of Utah. Her undergraduate degree is from Whitman College as a biochemistry major, and she graduated high school from Oregon Episcopal School (OES).
Outside the law, Samantha is active in civic engagements. She is active on the Alumni Council for OES, and is a past president of the Clackamas County Bar Association. She does pro bono representation of children in domestic relations cases.
In her spare time, Samantha enjoys being outdoors. Whether it is running, downhill skiing, or working outside in the yard, she loves everything Oregon has to offer. Her standard poodle, Quinn, likes being out as much as she does and is a regular companion on their adventures.
