About Tamla
Biography
Seasoned attorney with twenty-five years' of professional legal experience in the courtroom, the classroom and the halls of Congress.
Hi, my name is Tamla! I practiced Family Law for almost 10 years in Charlotte, NC, then worked for Congress for almost 10 years and moved back to NC in 2014 to teach law school and practice Family Law. I've taught Family Law at Campbell University's Norman Adrian Wiggins Scool of Law and taught National Security Law, Legal Writing and Legal Research at NC Central University School of Law. Family Law is my passion and I handle all family law matters including divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, equitable and distribution.
