Attorney Decosta is the best representation in family law you could want

Attorney Decosta deserves five stars. She is a superstar! Attorney Decosta jumped into the fray of my case during the ED portion and showed poise in making a complicated situation seem simple which had numerous accounts and assets hidden by the opposing party for nearly three years which my forme...r attorneys could not discover. With Attorney Decosta’s experience in discovery and her savy questioning of witnesses during trial, she was able to impress upon the courts the lack of candor by the opposing side. If you seek an honest, ethical, hardworking attorney who will fight for your rights there is no-one better in Mecklenburg County than Attorney Decosta. She doesn’t get stressed, agitated or unnerved and has a way to put her clients at ease while always keeping her clients up to date on the latest of their case. Attorney Decosta’s knowledge of the law and court presence was head and shoulders above my expectations. She is well prepared and goes into court with a strategy that is sound and proper. Attorney Decosta will fight for her clients rights and is hands down one of the best family court attorneys around. I could not have imagined a better outcome to my case and it was all due to Attorney Decosta’s hard work and dedication. With Attorney Decosta you are not just a client but more importantly part of her family.

Impeccable Professional

I hired Ms. DeCosta to represent me in my divorce. My husband (ex) hired one of the best attorneys in Charlotte. However, that did not intimidate Ms. DeCosta. Her firm was friendly, proficient and sincere. This was a very difficult time for me and my two young sons. Ms. DeCosta checked in with m...e, several weeks after my divorce was finalized, just to make sure that I was holding up well. I will never forget the impeccable professionalism, knowledge and empathy shown for my case. Thanks Ms. DeCosta!

Very pleased

Ms. Decosta was hired to help me with child support. She charged a flat fee which was very reasonable. I used another attorney previous for my divorce and was charged for every email and phone call that we had with each other, this became very expensive. Ms. Decosta was very knowledgable and prof...essional about child support and divorce issues. I found her to be very timely and friendly. I felt she really was concerned. I highly recommend Ms. Decosta for anyone in need of her services. She went above and beyond.

Excellent Prep for Modification

Attorney Tiyesha Decosta was excellent with her knowledge of family law. I needed to have a motion prepared for a Child Support Modification, she prepped me for the court with a very tough Judge. She was able to write out a complete comprehension of what to say and ask for. I was totally prepared for... my court date with all of her notes and prep work. It felt like she was there with me because I was so prepared. Thanks Mrs. Decosta..
