Meet Samantha M Birsen, ESQ. | Las Vegas Family Law Attorney

A Personal Path to Advocacy

Samantha was born and raised in upstate New York before attending Syracuse University, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management. After graduation, she moved to Las Vegas to pursue her dream of managing restaurants on the Strip, working at Bellagio, MGM Grand, and ARIA.

Her life changed in 2017, when she survived the Route 91 Harvest Festival mass shooting. The experience reshaped her perspective and sparked a deep calling to help others. Determined to make the most of her second chance at life, she chose to pursue a career in law.

Legal Education & Professional Growth

In 2019, Samantha began studying at the Dale E. Fowler School of Law at Chapman University. She graduated with her Juris Doctor in 2022 and passed the Nevada Bar that same year.

Throughout law school and beyond, Samantha gained extensive experience working in family law firms, yet she quickly felt uncomfortable with the cost of representation many firms required. She found herself laying awake up at night worrying about how clients would afford the help they needed. This conviction eventually led her to build something different.

Outside the Office

When she’s not helping clients, Samantha enjoys spending time with her fiancée and friends, cooking, cruising, all-you-can-eat sushi, doing her own nails, and anything pink. (She is also known to occasionally go to the gym, though she insists it’s not her favorite activity.)

Experienced Inside Nevada Family Courts

Before opening her firm, Samantha made it her mission to deeply understand the Clark County family court system from the inside out.

She served as a law clerk to multiple judges, including:

  • Hon. Judge Paul M. Gaudet — Department N (divorce, custody)
  • Hon. Judge Kerri J. Maxey
  • Hon. Judge Robert W. Teuton — Department D (CPS, abuse & neglect cases)

This unique experience gave her an uncommon, behind-the-scenes understanding of how judges evaluate cases, what evidence matters, and how families can be best supported through the legal process.

Founding Mabel Law Group

Samantha opened Mabel Law Group with the goal of offering compassionate, high-quality family law services at reasonable, transparent prices. She believes that everyone, regardless of income, should have the ability to protect their family, their rights, and their future.

Her practice focuses on:
