No words

I am deeply disappointed with the legal services provided by Attorney Holmes/Decosta. Unfortunately, I cannot provide specific details due to the sensitive nature of the matter. However, I can say that the outcome of my case was far from satisfactory, and I believe that the attorney's actions or inac...tions contributed significantly to this negative result. I would advise anyone considering hiring this attorney to proceed with extreme caution.

I am sorry you feel this way. I understand you need someone to blame. However, I was your 3rd/4th attorney, and I did not play a role in your custody arrears in excess of $100,000. Unfortunately, I cannot go into details either because of the pending lawsuit, to be filed, in Federal Court, including Joe Strazzeri, Esq. as a Defendant. Karma has a way of spinning the block. And I wish you well.

Attorney Decosta Review

Ms. Decosta is an amazing attorney. She provides you with all information and advice pertaining to your case in a timely fashion, and keeps you informed every step of the way. I am very glad I had Attorney Decosta to represent me. She instilled in me the confidence I needed, and also made me very awa...re of things involving my case that I didn’t know. The prices are very reasonable and she goes the extra mile to have positive outcomes. I would definitely recommend using Attorney Decosta!

Child Support/Child Custody

Miss Tiyesha DeCosta is a wonderful attorney to hire and works with compassion and professionalism. She went above and beyond to help me WIN my case and throughout the whole process checked in with me my family and made sure that we were OK and reassured us that everything would work out. I would re...commend her to anyone who wants real results and who wants that compassion from an attorney. She takes her job very serious and she also takes your family matters very serious. She has literally saved my life and has made 2019 the best testimony so far in my life. My family loves her and adores her and we hope to stay connected with her in future endeavors.

Poor Communication Skills

In working with Atty DeCosta regarding my case, I feel that she is a "no-nonsense" lawyer whom has the capability to get the job done, but fails terribly when communicating with her clients and allowing cases to fall through the cracks. I will not express openly the details of my interaction with Att...y Decosta on this webpage but I would like for others to perform their research before hiring Atty Decosta and I will be pursuing further action regarding my interaction with her.

Att Dicosta

Mrs Decosta, is very good at her job, she will do all it takes to get you exactly what you want. My name is to be places on the RIL list I filed a petition very late originally I should've file in 15 days it took over 21 days before I filed. Been a faith I saw Att Dicosta on Google and I just calle...d her immediately. Her voice sounds on the phone like she aggressive. But I appreciated it atlast because it was from my own good: because of the late filed petition. DSS file a petition to dismiss my petition without trial. So we had to go for hearing as to weither to keep my my petition or to go for trial. Just the day of the hearing for the motion of dismissal of petition. Miss Dicosta beat both the hearing of motion of dismissal and the trial. The court drop all charges. And I was victorious without any trial. She make me so happy. And waive also all the balance fees that I owed her. I will recommend her to family and friends. Shes the best
