Excellent

I hired her to handle my child support case. I owed thousands in back pay and she was able to reduce it tremendously. Never had any problems contacting her and she did everything she said she would do. Would recommend her to anyone who needs help with family law.

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.

Satisfied Client

Ms. Decosta was attentive, patient, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. I currently live out of the state, and I had to travel back and forth for all court appointments. She ensured that I received all information in a timely manner so that I could make adequate travel arrangements since I an bond ...to a wheelchair. She returned any phone calls or messages in a timely fashion as I had many questions. Her expertise helped to guide me throughout the process which ultimately resulted in me be awarded the alimony I deserved. I am extremely appreciative and grateful to have connected with her.

Excellent experience

This lawyer went up against a top AVVO lawyer my ex hired. They were taking me to court for some pretty expensive attorney fees. Her consultation was free she seemed caring and i felt I could trust her. She flat out handled her business against this other attorney and I did not have to pay any fees ...period. Her pricing was pretty reasonable compared to others I have called.

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.
