The Geller Law Group Expands Family Law Practice with Two New Attorneys

To accommodate its growing client list and the demand for Family Law legal services throughout DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland, The Geller Law Group has added two new associates this summer.

Samantha Lebling, Associate

Samantha Lebling joins our Family Law Practice Group with a focus on domestic violence, Collaborative divorce, and custody cases.

Prior to joining GLG, Samantha was an associate attorney for a boutique family law firm where she drafted separation agreements.

While attending the University of South Carolina School of Law, Samantha served as a Legal Extern for the South Carolina Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services and a Law Clerk for the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office. She assisted the Catawba Indian Nation in drafting their domestic violence code. She also volunteered as a guardian ad litem for children in foster care and served as a research assistant for the law school’s pro bono office.

Before law school, Samantha worked at a Domestic Violence Shelter, counseling survivors of domestic abuse, assisting in obtaining protective orders, and attending court to help guide them through the legal process. She also served as a Shelter Manager performing intakes for clients moving into the shelter and managing residents overnight.

In her spare time, Samantha enjoys paddle boarding, cooking, and biking around the D.C. area.

Veronica Holmes, Associate
