Besianne - The Best of the Best

Ms. Maiden was an absolute godsend during my divorce. After a really frustrating experience with my previous attorney, I was honestly overwhelmed and unsure who to trust. I met with many attorneys in the Hampton Roads area, and I knew right away she was THE ONE. She not only genuinely cares, she t...ruly knows what she’s doing. Her experience and confidence were obvious from day one, and she handled everything with clarity, strategy, and precision. I never felt like just another case. She took the time to understand me, made me feel supported, and stepped in to clean up a mess without missing a beat. She fought for me in a way I truly don’t think anyone else would have. I can’t imagine getting through this without her. Working with her was life changing. I’m so grateful for everything she did for me and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. She is the real deal… exceptional at what she does and someone you absolutely want in your corner!

Voice for the voiceless!

Bes came highly recommended to me from a friend and I am so glad she did. As someone who has never been able to stand up for myself Bes was the voice I needed. She made sure I got what I needed and more in my divorce. I will forever be grateful for her.

Honest, Trustworthy, and Wholesome

Ms Maiden was hired to represent me in a child custody case. Not only did she get me what I was asking, but got me more. She called and checked in on me, was very personable, and eager to fight any battle opposing counsel threw at her. She was always willing to go to bat for me.

Unprofessional and uncaring

I hired Ms. Maiden because she promised me that she did more "hand-holding" through a contentious divorce than the typical lawyer. The exact opposite was true. She ignored my case to the extent she even failed to present an offer that was made by the opposing party; when I finally had to hire another... lawyer, I was too burned out to file a bar complaint for what is very much a breach of duties. In short, she was non-responsive, allowed my case to drag out, caused me unbelievable stress and ultimately cost me thousands of dollars when she abdicated my bargaining power by pissing off and ignoring my ex-spouse and his attorney as well. If I could give her a negative rating, I would as she had a complete negative impact on me, my family and my case.

Honest, Professional, and Transparent

Besianne is the most honest, professional, and transparent attorney I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She not once made promises to me about the outcome of my child’s case. She consulted with us and I felt the sincerity in her voice, mannerisms and character! She didn’t promise us the moon. ... She consulted with us and at the end of our consultation I felt like she would fight for us as if we were her own family. A decision that I am so glad that we made. She’s honest, decent, caring and transparent. A testament of what lawyers should pride themselves on being. Besianne has not just become our attorney but also has become our friend. Her unmatched knowledge of the law is secondary to none! As a mother fighting for your child and fighting for the truth I highly recommend Besianne because she’s a fighter and her knowledge of the law is AAA+!! The office and its workers are welcoming, professional and courteous! We not only procured an excellent outstanding attorney but also a lifelong friend. Hats off to Tavss Fletcher for having an awesome, amazing, second to none attorney in their firm that will fight to the bitter end! The BEST ATTORNEY EVER! Besianne Tavss Maiden you are in my opinion the most honest, brilliant, caring and professional attorney EVER! Thank you thank you thank you for representing our family and your honesty and knowledge of the law is absolutely phenomenal!

Family lawyer | Jun 29

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Ms. Maiden on several matters where I was a Guardian Ad Litem. My experience with Ms. Maiden is she is always concerned for her client's best interest. Ms. Maiden is conscientious in her responsibilities to her clients and to the Court. I have also had Ms. Maiden on the opposite side of the case. She is easy to work with and always professional, but a formidable opponent. I have a great deal of respect for her and learn something from her each time I have a case with her."
