Samantha-Lee Roache |
Lawyer
Samantha is immensely proud of her Maori and European descent and living in the small multicultural town of Opotiki. Samantha attended Opotiki College and found her passion for Law studying legal studies through Correspondence School and subsequently completing a university paper whilst at Opotiki College. Then, in 2008 Samantha began her Bachelor of Laws at the University of Waikato, which she completed in 2011 and was admitted in the Rotorua High Court as a Barrister and Solicitor 2012.
Samantha volunteered at Baywide Community Law where she gained valuable experience in the profession and gave back to the community. This led to full time employment at Baywide Community Law as Solicitor covering from Katikati to Te Kaha, successfully re-establishing the outreach clinics in Opotiki and Te Kaha.
In 2013 Samantha changed career paths and worked as a Probation Officer at Ara Poutama Aotearoa (Department of Corrections) in the Eastern Bay of Plenty. Throughout the course of this eight-year employment, Samantha was a Senior Practitioner, Acting Service Manager, and a subject matter expert in certain areas.
In June 2021, the leadership team at Hamertons saw what an asset Samantha would be to their Family Law team and she accepted a position of Lawyer working under Angela Kershaw in the Opotiki and Whakatane office and hasn’t looked back.
